Dear Friend of the Ashram,

Celebration of the Divine Appearance Day of
Srila Bhakti Pavan Janardan Maharaj

10:30 am in Santa Cruz
Saturday, January 24, 2015

Before leaving this world, Srila Govinda Maharaj declared in his Last Will and Testament:

“And in America Sripad Janardan Maharaj is a perfect personality. He is a perfect gentleman. He will be Acharya. He is Acharya already but has given all the respect to me; I am giving in return to him. Sripad Janardan Maharaj will become the Acharya and Sevaite of the Soquel Math.”

Srila Janardan Maharaj is known world-wide for his extreme humility. Therefore it is with enthusiasm and happiness that we invite you to share this very special occasion with us as we honor and worship Srila Janardan Maharaj.

His Vyasa Puja Celebration will be held on Saturday, January 24, beginning at 10:30 at the Soquel Seva Ashram.

Affectionately,
Sanatani devi dasi
