The TOVP A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Legacy Museum, a Tribute to the legacy of our Founder-Acharya, is another grand project being undertaken by the TOVP Team. The projected size will begin with 1000 sq. ft., and in its fully developed stage will be a remarkable, state-of-the-art, world-class museum of 21,000 sq. ft., the largest of its kind for any spiritual leader in history.

The idea for such a museum is long overdue, and currently most of Srila Prabhupada’s memorabilia (tadiya) is scattered across the Earth, in the hands of various devotees and temples. We are attempting to collect these sacred artifacts from individual devotees and place them in one central location at ISKCON’s World Headquarters in Sridham Mayapur, Srila Prabhupada’s ‘Place of Worship’. Once there they can be properly preserved and displayed for the benefit of millions of visitors and devotees to view for generations to come.

The first phase of the TOVP A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Legacy Museum is opening on February 18, 2025, showcasing rare personal paraphernalia, artifacts, books, letters, and other historical material for the glorification and perpetuation of the spiritual legacy of ISKCON Founder-Acharya, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
