Srila Prabhupada frame photoFrom Srila Prabhupada -- So now, by the grace of Krsna and Caitanya Mahaprabhu and in the presence of my Guru Maharaja [Srila Bhaktisiddhanta], you are so nice boys and girls. So in front of Caitanya Mahaprabhu you are chanting Hare Krsna mantra, and you are taking part in it very seriously. So my Guru Maharaja will be very, very much pleased upon you and bless you with all benefits.

So he wanted this, and he is not... It is not that he is dead and gone. That is not spiritual understanding. Even ordinary living being, he does not die. Na hanyate hanyamane sarire [Bg. 2.20]. And what to speak of such exalted, authorized personality like Bhaktisiddhanta. He is seeing. I never feel that I am alone. Of course, when I came to your country without any friend, without any means... Practically, just like a vagabond I came. But I had full faith that "My Guru Maharaja is with me." I never lost this faith, and that is fact. -- "Bhaktisiddhanta Appearance Day," March 2nd, 1975, Atlanta

Accepting Business Sponors & Monthly Donor Pledges
Spread the word about your business to the congregation, the community and beyond.  Sponsor an advertisement in Kalachandji Katha and/or the board in the hallway. 
 
A good Monthly Donor base ensures that the temple will have enough funds to cover all basic monthly expenses such as electricity, water, gas, and bhoga for the Deities.  There is no minimum pledge amount, and an automatic draft can be set up to make the monthly remittance hassle-free.
