Whereas observance of both ISKCON’s 60th Anniversary in 2026 and the 50th Anniversary of Srila Prabhupada’s Tirobhava in 2027 offer outstanding opportunities for deepening ISKCON members’ connection with our Founder-acharya Srila Prabhupada and expanding Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON mission;

Whereas there is a need for international leadership, support and coordination to maximize the success of ISKCON’s efforts for these observances; Whereas the close succession of these events warrants a combined approach and a unified effort; Whereas devotees, temples and zones should be encouraged and supported to plan and prepare this year, 2025, for these observances.
