In honor of the upcoming 150th anniversary of the appearance of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur, the GBC Executive Committee is encouraging ISKCON leadership and congregations to gloriously celebrate the auspicious occasion. Committee members, including Revati Raman Das, Guru Prasad Swami, and Tapana Misra Das, have offered some suggestions for the observance of this festival:

— Organize an exhibition within your temple showcasing the life,
achievements, and teachings of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur
through multimedia presentations and exhibits that can be displayed in the temple.

— Host a spiritual and cultural festival dedicated to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta
Sarasvati Thakur — a week full of seminars, kirtans, retreats, drama,
or discussions — all focused on the teachings of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta.

— Children’s events can be hosted by the local Sunday school.

— Host a kirtan festival where devotees from various ISKCON temples come together for congregational chanting of the holy names in honor of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta.

— Create engaging content for your social media platforms. This could be
carousel posts or Instagram reels, such as “5 facts about Srila
Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur” or “3 teachings from Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur.”
