Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Your Divine Grace! All glories to your great
movement.
With great joy and gratitude, we present this annual report of ISKCON Bhopal BYC, sharing
the wonderful activities and progress we have made in the past year in service to you and Śrī Śrī
Rādhā-Govinda Dev.
One of the most historic milestones for ISKCON Bhopal BYC this year was the grand bhūmi-
pūjān ceremony held on March 2, 2025, for our new temple land. This auspicious event was
graced by the presence of His Holiness Guru Prasād Swami Mahārāja, the GBC Chairman, His
Grace Mahāmān Prabhu, and the Honorable Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh. Following this
divine ceremony, we successfully started all temple activities on this new land, where devotees are
enthusiastically engaging in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh named
an important major road Swami Prabhupada Marg.
In 2024, we were blessed to conduct Jagannātha Ratha-yātrās in two major locations in Bhopal.
Thousands of devotees participated, making these festivals grand successes. The streets of Bhopal
echoed with the holy names of the Lord as Lord Jagannātha, Lord Baladeva, and Subhadrā
Mahārāṇī mercifully showered their blessings upon all.
Our outreach efforts have expanded significantly. Weekly programs are being conducted in
seven different places across Bhopal, bringing more people closer to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We
humbly pray for your blessings so that this new project flourishes and becomes a beacon of Kṛṣṇa
consciousness in this region.
Furthermore, we have established four student hostels dedicated to college youth preaching –
something we are striving to expand further. Our Vaishnavi Forum classes and camps are pro-
gressing nicely, providing a nurturing environment for women devotees. Many devotees are grow-
ing in their spiritual lives, regularly participating in classes and book-reading sessions,
deepening their understanding of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
Our goshala, with its ten cows, has now been relocated near the temple, ensuring the cows’
proper care and well-being in a spiritually enriched environment.
Our devotees have actively participated in various yātrās to holy places and other service initia-
tives. About forty of our devotees traveled to Prayagraj Kumbha Mela, rendering a week of dedi-
cated service in various capacities. Looking ahead, a group of 120 devotees is set to embark on a
Nepal tīrtha-yātrā in 2025. Additionally, a group of a hundred devotees successfully completed a
sacred pilgrimage to the four holy dhāmas in Badrinath. Such spiritual journeys continue to uplift
and inspire our congregation, strengthening their faith and devotion.
We regularly invite your disciples, ISKCON sannyāsīs, gurus, and other senior devotees to
regularly guide and enlighten us with their divine wisdom. Last year we had the great fortune to
associate with His Holiness Lokanath Swami Mahārāja, His Grace Mahāmān Prabhu, His Holi-
ness Guru Prasād Swami Mahārāja, His Holiness Bhakti Kevala Gopendra Mahārāja, His Grace
Rādheśyama Prabhu, and many other senior devotees. We humbly pray for your continued bless-
ings so that, united as a team, we can further expand your movement. Our aspirations include
establishing more centers in nearby areas, constructing a larger temple, and providing better
facilities for all the devotees who visit the temple. Your causeless mercy remains our beacon of
hope and inspiration. May we always walk the path illumined by Your Divine Grace.
With hearts filled with gratitude and determination, we pray for your continued guidance and
blessings. May ISKCON Bhopal BYC continue to serve your mission with unwavering enthusi-
asm, and may the new Kolar project grow into a thriving center of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, bringing
countless souls to the lotus feet of Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Govinda Dev.
Your humble servant,
Rasānanda Dāsa
On behalf of the devotees of ISKCON Bhopal BYC
