Vaisnava calendar 2010-2011

Hare Krsna! Jaya Srila Prabhupada!

This is a new update of the Vaisnava calendar. Hari bol!

PRABHUPADA WANTS THE SAME CALENDAR FOR ALL HIS TEMPLES

 

You say you have no Vaisnava calendar, but Syamasundara tells me that he has sent our Vaisnava calendar up to end May to Karandhara some time ago, so I am wondering why he has not distributed that list to all the centers?
