Gaudiya Mission UK Celebrates 150th Birth Anniversary of Sri Srimad Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Prabhupada in Harrow, London

On August 31st, the Gaudiya mission UK hosted a grand event in Harrow, London, to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of Sri Srimad Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Prabhupada.

A revered spiritual leader, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Prabhupad envisioned spreading the teachings of Lord Krishna across the western world — a dream that continues to inspire generations.

The event attracted nearly a thousand attendees from various walks of life, including distinguished guests such as Salim Chowdhury, the Mayor of Harrow, and Visaka Dasi, the Temple President of Bhaktivedanta Manor.

The celebration featured a rich program of activities, including enlightening lectures by esteemed Vaishnava gurus, soul-stirring bhajans and kirtans by dedicated devotees, and captivating dance drama by young children.

A highlight of the event was a remarkable play portraying the life of Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati and his pioneering efforts to send his disciples to the western world to spread Vaishnavism. Attendees were also treated to delicious vegetarian prasad, adding to the spirit of community and devotion.Videos of the event are available on the Gaudiya Mission’s Facebook page, allowing those who could not attend to experience the occasion virtually.

For those who missed the Harrow event or wish to participate again, a second program is scheduled for September 7th at the Mayfair venue in Romford, from 1 PM to 7 PM. The Gaudiya Mission UK warmly invites everyone to join this special celebration with their family and friends. Please use this link to register and check the details at gaudiyamission.org.
