Master Plan Team

Guiding the Vision

 

The Mayapur Master Plan Team (MPT) serves as the core group directing the development of the this project. The team includes the ISKCON Mayapur Co-directors (His Holiness Jayapataka Swami, HG Hrdaya Caitanya dasa, HG Braja Vilas dasa, HG Subheksana dasa, and HG Akshay Ramachandra dasa) along with HG Harilila dasa, HG Samba dasa, HG Tulsi Govinda dasa, and HG Nandan dasa (Secretary).

In December 2022, HH Jayapataka Swami introduced the vision for this Project during an MPT meeting, aiming to connect visitors and devotees to Sri Mayapur Dhama. The project was envisioned to provide essential information about key attractions, prasadam, and visitor facilities within the ISKCON Mayapur Campus.

By December 2023, HG Nandan dasa took on the responsibility for developing the content for this project, enhancing it with comprehensive pilgrimage information, scriptural references to promote the teachings of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, along with beautiful deity darshans and video lectures from spiritual leaders. With the cooperation of Divisional heads and support of the Master Plan Office team, including Pankajanayana Gaura dasa and Sundaranga Jagannath dasa, the content is continuously expanding, evolving into a powerful tool for virtual pilgrimage to all the holy places in Sri Navadvipa-dhama.

The Master Plan Team has continuously inspired and guided this project, offering valuable insights for its development. They actively promote the project, both on-campus and across various online platforms, to assist and enhance the experience of the guests of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
