The TOVP A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Legacy Museum, a Tribute to the legacy of our Founder-Acharya, is another grand project being undertaken by the TOVP Team under the direction of its Chairman Ambarisa das and Vice Chairman Braja Vilasa das. Phase 1 of the museum is scheduled to open during a grand and historic celebration on February 18, 2025.

The idea for such a museum is long overdue, and currently most of Srila Prabhupada’s memorabilia (tadiya) is scattered across the Earth, in the hands of various devotees and temples. We are attempting to collect these sacred artifacts from individual devotees and place them in one central location at ISKCON’s World Headquarters in Sridham Mayapur, Srila Prabhupada’s “Place of Worship.” Once there, they can be properly preserved and displayed for the benefit of millions of visitors and devotees to view for generations to come.

“O Devi, the most exalted system of worship is the worship of Lord Vishnu. Greater than that is the worship of tadiya, or anything belonging to Vishnu.”

Lord Siva from Padma Purana

Srila Prabhupada comments on this verse,

“Sri Vishnu is sac-cid-ananda-vigraha. Similarly the most confidential servant of Kṛshna, the spiritual master, and all devotees of Vishnu are tadiya. The sac-cid-ananda-vigraha, guru, Vaishnavas and things used by them must be considered tadiya, and without a doubt worshipable by all living beings.”

(Cc. Madhya 12.38 purport)

The projected size of Phase 1 will be 1000 sq. ft., Phase 2 will expand to 6000 sq. ft., and in its fully developed stage the project will be a remarkable, state-of-the-art, world-class museum of 21,000 sq. ft., the largest of its kind for any spiritual leader in history.

If you possess any Srila Prabhupada tadiya, this is the right time to gift or lend it to the museum. If you know someone who is in possession of such paraphernalia, please share this article with them.
