What does Mayapur look like through the eyes of someone who has dedicated their life to devotion? Watch interviews with many devotees including Srutakirti prabhu (Srila Prabhupada’s personal servant and secretary, 1975-77), who takes us on a brief tour to Prabhupada’s personal quarters in Mayapur as well as sneak views from the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium ahead of its opening. “There’ll be nothing like it anywhere.”

Part of the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium (TOVP), the Yajña-śālā (sacrificial arena) at TOVP Gardens was officially inaugurated on 11 February 2026.
The opening included: procession and kirtan, Vāstu pūjā, speeches by senior devotees, and installation of the nitya-homa (eternal sacrificial fire).

A beautiful musical performance centred around the mridanga drum at the Kirtan Mela festival, leading up to Gaura Purnima 2026. Watch this expert display of co-ordination, for the pleasure of Sri Sri Pancha Tattva, and which enlivened the crowd. This video has the potential to inspire the next generation of mridanga players.

Distinguished guest, Amit Shah, Home Minister of India, visited the sacred land of Śrīdhām Māyāpur, the global headquarters of ISKCON, two weeks before Gaura Purnima 2026.

Enjoy Gaura Purnima 2026 with recorded live streaming of kirtan in the temple. On this auspicious day of Lord Chaitanya – who Himself became renounced for half of His life – an important message on sannyasa.
Find out about the five forbidden items in Kali Yuga, followed by an introduction to a new sannyasi candidate, His Grace Shanta Narasimha Das Brahmachari, based in Jaipur. Some words also offered by His Holiness Bhakti Rasayana Sagar Swami, who has preached extensively in Russia and born in Ukraine.

Almost 4 hours of solid kirtan and bhajans celebrate the Gaura Purnima abhisek of Lord Krishna's avatar for this dark age of Kali. Lord Chaitanya and Lord Nityananda are Lord Krishna Himself, and His eternal brother, Lord Balaram, descended to earth just over 500 years ago in this place known as Sri Dham Mayapur, on this auspicious full moon night.

In the British Empire, the sun never sets. Similarly, in Mayapur, the flag is never lowered. But shortly after Gaura Purnima 2026, the flag was lowered! Fortunately, in place of another victory flag. In the welcome address, proposals for an international village outside Mayapur’s complex is mentioned.
