ISKCON Miami Inaugurates New Altar


BY KESAVA SWAMI

MIAMI, Dec 10 (VNN) — INAUGURATION OF NEW ALTAR AND PUSHPA SAMADHI OF SRILA PRABHUPADA IN MIAMI

Dear Prabhus, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

By invoking blessings of Srila Prabhupad and the Vaishnavas, I take the pleasure of inviting the devotees for the grand opening and inauguration of the Royal Marble Altar for Sri Sri Radha Vrajabihari, Gaura Nitai and Jagannatha, Baladeva & Subhadra. This Altar is the first of its kind in America. The Festival will also see Srila Prabhupada's Pushpa Samadhi inauguration (second Samadhi outside India) built in the center of the temple room. The installation ceremony is directed by His Grace Padmanabha Goswami of Gopala Batta Goswami's ancestral Temple of Sri Sri Radha Ramana of Vrindavana Dhama.

We will be extremely happy and grateful if you come along with as many as devotees possible, and thus make the week long festival a grand success.
