Topic:Maharaj Prthu's Going Back Home [SB 4.23.17]
Speaker: HG Hari Sauri Prabhu

So today is the transcendental appearance day of Lord Varaha. We have got the regular Bhagavatam verse on the board from Prthu Maharaj's going back to Godhead. However we are not going to read that this morning. We are going to talk about Lord Varahadev instead because it is an interesting narrative.
There are different incarnations or appearances of Lord Varahadev.

The ISKCON Leadership Sanga (ILS), in Sridham Mayapur, is scheduled from February 10th to 17th. The ILS will provide an opportunity for GBC members to share with ISKCON’s initiating gurus, sannyasis, temple presidents, project leaders, and congregational leaders the process of strategic planning they have undergone and the progress they have achieved. In turn, the GBC hope that those devotees who are attending will provide the GBC body with the invaluable feedback it needs.

Srila Prabhupada said,"Mayapur is my place of worship".
Devotees from all over the world have started to assemble at Mayapur to celebrate the Gaura Purnima festival, to receive the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and worship the most beautiful Lords Sri Radha-Madhava, Sri Narasimhadeva & Sri Panca tattva in the association of devotees. GBC’s and Sanyasis and leaders of different temples and congregations will be gathering from tomorrow for their annual meetings at Sridham Mayapur.

As every week passes in Mayapur, the landscape changes: the TOVP's presence expands, dominating the grounds, embracing the entire community; suburbs and sub-divisions bloom and unfold; the village grows with every breath, closer than ever to being the city that Srila Prabhupada predicted it would become. For the thousands of people who wish to reside in this most beautiful holy dhama, more than ever it's now or never...

"Wandering in Navadvipa is the best of all opulences,the best of all religious principles,the best of all kinds of worship,the best of all perfections,the best of all glories,and the best of all oceans of sweetness." We are happy to invite devotees worldwide to perform Navadvipa Mandala Parikrama in Mayapur. Parikrama Adhivas is on 25th Feb. Parikrama begins on 26th Feb and will return back on 3rd March.
