nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāmin iti nāmine

On the most auspicious 129th Vyāsa-pūjā of Your Divine Grace, we would like to offer our prayers
at your lotus feet. Kindly accept them.
By your causeless mercy and the blessings of your sincere disciples, we have been serving Lord
Śrī Jagannātha at the Śrī Jagannātha Mandir, Seshadripuram, Bangalore, since 2000. For your
pleasure, our ambitious project of building a new palace temple for Their Lordships is partially
completed, and we are already serving the Lord in His new temple. We seek your blessing so that
we can complete the remaining portion and install Their Lordships on Their finished altar, on the
second floor. We are trying our best to follow your instructions on temple worship standards and
schedules as best as we can.
We have also built a residential apartment adjacent to the temple for devotees. Due to this,
many congregation devotees are able to stay in that apartment and serve the Lord from there. We
have also made facilities for visiting sannyāsīs and other senior devotees to stay. In this way we
are able to organize visits by your dedicated disciples and other senior devotees from all over the
world, and they give us association and inspire our congregational devotees to deepen their Kṛṣṇa
conscious practices.
Śrīla Prabhupāda, as per the instructions of your spiritual son His Holiness Jayapatāka Swami,
we are making all efforts to preach strongly all over Bangalore. To this end we have initiated a
concept called Bhakti Sadan, where our congregational devotees conduct regular Kṛṣṇa con-
scious programs from a dedicated place in various locations around Bangalore. What started as
a Sunday Feast program is now gradually developing into more focused preaching units, with
many serving seven evenings a week. The attendance at these Bhakti Sadans ranges from 50–200
devotees. We now have close to thirty such Bhakti Sadans functioning around Bangalore. Our
aim is to have one in every postal pincode in the area under our care in Bangalore. His Holiness
Jayapatāka Swami envisioned Bangalore becoming the first completely spiritual city in India, and
we seek your blessings to realize this vision by expanding this program and preaching to thou-
sands of new devotees in the city.
We are also taking the distribution of your transcendental books around the city and surround-
ing areas very seriously. In the December 2024 book marathon we stood twenty-fourth overall in
India and second in South India. We seek your blessings to excel at our distribution and flood
Bangalore with your spiritual ecstasies in the form of your transcendental literature.
We pray at your lotus feet that you empower our congregation to excel in all spheres of devo-
tional service and that we can serve your mission, make sincere progress, and go back home, back
to Godhead and serve Your Divine Grace eternally.
Your servant,
Anukul Keshav Dāsa and the devotees and congregation of ISKCON Seshadripuram
