Dear TOVP Leaders and GBC Members,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. Aniruddha dās here again, with Part 6 of the TOVP Plans. In Part 5, we touched upon the approach of focusing Supporting Shrine efforts on those cosmological locations said to have been visited by Lord Kṛṣṇa. Already, in the Narakān Level Project, we have covered what we believe to be the most famous such cosmic location, the planet of Pitṛloka. However, at least three other such locations remain. We are certain that there will be universal agreement among the devotees that there should be a special Supporting Shrine project at each of those locations in the Vedic Cosmos, and at least one Deity should be installed. We do not believe these plans would be complete without those Supporting Shrines, and hence, we are very pleased to bring you Part 6 of the TOVP Deity Plans: The Nexus of Vedic Cosmology & the Summum Bonum.
A starting note about the four non-Earth locations in the Vedic Cosmos that will be covered here: they are locations from Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. There may be other locations mentioned in other śāstras, but these four from the Bhāgavatam will suffice for now. So without any further ado…
