COMMEMORATING 50 YEARS – A SWEET BEGINNING AND SERVING SRI SRI RADHA GOPINATHA
By Radhapriya
September 2022 is a very special month for ISKCON Toronto as it marks the 50th Installation Anniversary of our beloved deities, Sri Sri Radha Ksira-Chora Gopinatha. They were installed on Radhastami Day, September 15, 1972. On this historic occasion, 243Review had a chance to sit down with HG Praharana Dasi as well as speak to HG Laxmimoni Dasi to share their memories about the interesting story of the deities coming to Toronto, Their installation on Radhastami in 1972, and serving Them in those early days.
Since then, Sri Sri Radha Ksira-Chora Gopinatha have been residing in Toronto for 50 years and have been consistently and opulently served every single day since Their installation in 1972, first at 187 Gerrard Street and then at 243 Avenue Road, Their current home. 243Review also had a chance to sit down with long-time Head Pujaris, Brahma Das and Sattvatanu Dasi, to give you a rare, behind-the-scenes look at this blissful yet immense service within the Deity Department.
