AN INVITATION TO THE 2021
Sri Rupa Goswami Conference on Vaishnavism
ONLINE, ZOOM
VRINDAVANA’S PREMIER SEMINAR ON VAISHNAVISM FOR THREE DECADES
under the auspices of
Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Goswami Maharaja
Now in our 17th year
AUGUST 18·19·20·21·2021
Gopīnāth Bhavan - Rūpa Sanātana Gauḍiya Math - Vrindavan
Srila Rupa Goswami is revered in the Gaudiya Vaishnava community as the chief of the Six Goswamis, the direct disciples of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. His voluminous body of literature - treatises, dramas, and poetry – were written following the instructions of Sriman Mahaprabhu and comprise the theology of Gaudiya Vaishnavism.
Thirty years ago, at the Rupa Sanatana Gaudiya Math in Seva Kunj, Vrindavana, Srila BV Narayana Maharaja convened a three-day conference to discuss the glories of Srila Rupa Goswami. The conference continues to this day, every Jhulan, in Hindi in the evenings at the Rupa Sanatana Gaudiya Math. Fifteen years ago, Srila Maharaja began English morning sessions at nearby Gopinath Bhavan. The conference is a forum for Vaishnavas and scholars to speak on the glories of Srila Rupa Goswami and various aspects of Vaishnavism in relation to him, as well as to engage in extended discussion on these subjects. It is meant to enliven the Vaishnava community with topics that are relevant to their devotional practice and about which they are eager to hear.
It is my honor on behalf of the conference to invite you to attend the Sri Rupa Goswami Conference on Vaishnavism. An international assembly of distinguished scholars will be speaking and we welcome your participation.
This year, we are offering two venues for the Sri Rupa Goswami Conference: our Rupa Goswami Conference Facebook page, and a Zoom conference, the Sri Rupa Goswami Tirobhava Festival, organized by Sri Yasodanandan prabhu, Srimati Yasodhari didi and the Bhakti Zoom Seva Team.
