Dear Devotees,

This is a personal appeal from myself (Ambarisa das) and Braja Vilasa prabhu. We are quickly approaching the historic opening of the Nrsimhadeva Wing in the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium scheduled for February 29 – March 2. Much of the Wing interior will be completed for what will be the largest Nrsimhadeva temple in the world.

In 2023 we had a very successful 36-Day 3X matching fundraiser and I have triple matched all donations during that campaign to the amount of millions of dollars as promised. I am determined and vigilant to see that the TOVP opens on time and is completed for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada and the spiritual benefit of the entire world, as predicted by Lord Nityananda, that from this temple the service of Lord Gauranga will expand throughout the world.

We currently receive over 6 million visitors to Mayapur every year. When the temple opens, this number is expected to reach 60 million! Just imagine how this will not only expand the preaching in Sridham Mayapur by bringing throngs of people to the most important tirtha in the universe, but bring more people to all ISKCON temples worldwide. As the saying goes, “The rising tide raises all boats”. Similarly, the raising of the TOVP will benefit all Srila Prabhupada’s temples for hundreds of years to come.

Our humble appeal to all of you reading this is that you please kindly continue to sacrifice some of your earnings for this project, even if you have given before. And if you have an active pledge, please continue to make your payments or complete your pledge as soon as possible. Every little bit helps. I am doing so myself and I hope my example will inspire you to do so also.

Please visit the Give To Nrsimha Fundraiser page on the TOVP website and select a donation option you are comfortable with. Even the larger sponsorships like Medallions, Bricks, Awards, etc. can be paid in 2-3 years making it only a small amount every month to commit to.

Thank you to all who have already made this sacrifice and continue to help, and to all who will help in the future. You can rest assured that we are moving forward as promised. Our slogan for the next two years is “We Run, You, Win.” With your financial assistance we will run the race and complete the TOVP, and you win by enjoying the results of the finished grand TOVP and going back to Godhead. Hare Krishna!

Your servants,
Ambarisa das – TOVP Chairman
