Dear devotees,
Please accept our humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada & Srila Acharyadeva!

Almost 40 years ago on Nrismhadeva Caturdasi 1972, at the age of 23, Srila Hridayananda das Goswami Acharyadeva bowed down at the lotus feet of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, and recited vows to live the rest of his life as a renunciate, a sannyasi, and to dedicate his life’s work towards the service Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai, the development of ISKCON, and the expansion of the Hare Krishna Movement. Over the course of these 40 years, Acharyadeva has distinguished himself as a courageous leader, Sanskrit scholar, writer, commentator, and guru. Thus, in honor of Acharyadeva’s remarkable achievements, it is our great privilege to announce Acharyadeva’s upcoming 40th Anniversary Sannyasa Celebration & Retreat Weekend.

Please mark your calendars for the dates of May 11-13, 2012 (Nrsimhadeva Caturdasi weekend) to receive intimate association with Acharyadeva in a peaceful and relaxing setting in the foothills of Southern California. The weekend promises daily darshans with Acharyadeva, precious association with godfamily, enriching morning and evening kirtans, intellectually stimulating classes, first-class prasadam, comfortable accommodations, and more.

 

But before we can book a retreat facility, it is important that we get an approximate count of the number of people who plan on attending. Keep in mind that the retreat will cost approximately $200 per person and devotees will be responsible to arrange their own transportation to and from the retreat center (although we will do the best we can to assist in carpooling arrangements). Acharyadeva also specifically requested that this celebration be open to all, inclusive of all devotees and not limited to his disciples.

Therefore, we humbly request your attendance at this historic and landmark occasion in Acharyadeva’s life. If you think that you will be able to join us, kindly RSVP to Jaya Govinda das ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) by February 6th. Once we get a better idea of numbers and have secured a retreat facility, we will send you further information regarding the specific details of the weekend, closest airports to fly into, total cost, carpooling info, service opportunities, etc.

We hope this invitation finds you in the best of health and enthusiasm in your devotional service. We greatly look forward to your response. Again, it is urgent that you RSVP with Jaya Govinda by February 6th. Thank you & Hare Krishna!

Queridos devotos,
Por favor acepten mis humildes reverencias.
Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada y Srila Acharyadeva!

Hace casi 40 años en Nrismhadeva Caturdasi 1972, a la edad de 24 años, Srila Hridayananda das Goswami Acharyadeva se inclino a los pies de loto de AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, y recitó los votos para vivir el resto de su vida como un renunciante, un sannyasi, y para dedicar su vida de trabajo hacia el servicio de Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai, el desarrollo de ISKCON, y la expansión del Movimiento Hare Krishna. A lo largo de estos 40 años, Acharyadeva se ha distinguido como un líder valiente, academico en la lengua sánscrita, escritor, comentarista, y gurú. Por lo tanto, en honor a los notables logros de Acharyadeva, es nuestro gran privilegio anunciar su 40 aniversario de Sannyasa y fin de semana de Retiro.

Por favor marquen sus calendarios para las fechas desde el 4 hasta el 6 mayo del 2012 (fin de semana Nrsimhadeva Caturdasi) para recibir la íntima asociación de Acharyadeva en un entorno tranquilo y relajante en las colinas del sur de California. El fin de semana promete darshans diarios con Acharyadeva, buena asociacion con la familia espiritual, enriquecedores kirtans por la mañana y tarde, clases intelectualmente estimulantes, prasadam de primera clase, habitaciones cómodas, y mucho más.

Pero antes de poder reservar una instalación en el retiro, es importante que logremos un conteo aproximado del número de personas que planean asistir. Tengan en cuenta que el retiro tendrá un costo aproximado de U$s 200 por persona y los devotos se encargarán de organizar su propio transporte hacia y desde el centro del retiro (aunque haremos lo mejor que podamos para compartir el espacio en los coches). Acharyadeva también pidió expresamente que esta celebración está abierta a todos, incluidos todos los devotos y no se limita a sus discípulos.

Por lo tanto, humildemente les solicitamos su asistencia a este momento histórico y un hito en la vida de Acharyadeva. Si usted piensa que será capaz de unirse a nosotros, por favor confirmar su asistencia a Jaya Govinda das ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) hasta el 06 de febrero. Una vez que tengamos una mejor idea de los números y se han asegurado un centro de retiro, le enviaremos más información sobre los detalles específicos del fin de semana, aeropuertos más cercanos,costo total, informacion sobre espacio disponible en los coches y costo de traslado en los mismos, oportunidades de servicio, etc

Esperamos que esta invitación los encuentre en buena salud y con entusiasmo en su servicio devocional. Tenemos gran interes en su respuesta. Una vez más, es urgente que confirmen su presencia con Govinda Jaya hasta el 06 de febrero. Gracias y Hare Krishna!
