In the presence of HH Mahavishnu Swami
Jagannatha Swami Nayana-patha-gami Bhavatu Me
Our facilitator
Today she leads our congregation in one shared mission:
to bring Jagannath home to Amsterdam.
Goal
Understand why Amsterdam holds a real and specific place in ISKCON history, and why that cannot be left behind.
5 minutes
Goal
Look at the spiritual and historical reasons why Jagannath's presence in Amsterdam is not a nice-to-have. It is something this community needs.
10 minutes
Goal
Get the congregation aligned around one clear aspiration: Jagannath, Baladeva, and Subhadra back in Amsterdam, permanently.
15 minutes
Goal
Put the real objections on the table, practical, financial, logistical, and work through them together. No challenge should go unaddressed.
15 minutes
Goal
Write a clear, respectful letter from the congregation to our GBC representatives, stating our wish and asking for their guidance.
5 minutes
Goal
Put together a concrete proposal with a plan, a timeline, and what we need. Something that can actually be presented at GBC level.
10 minutes
Goal
Be specific about what this takes, people, space, money, skills, and find out who is ready to step up.
10 minutes
Goal
Collect and share the founding story, including Srila Prabhupada's 1972 visit, so the people here now actually know where they come from.
5 minutes
Let us bring Jagannath home to Amsterdam.
