We're delighted to invite you to attend the grand opening of the new
ISKCON Dublin Hare Krishna Temple on Sunday 5th April 2009.

The temple has been a long time coming but after the wait we are happy
to launch Dublin's most elaborate centre to date.

On the ground floor you'll find Govinda's vegetarian restaurant, on
the first floor is the temple's kitchen and bathrooms.

On the second floor is the reception area and customised shoe room as
well as the ashram and office.

Then, on the very top floor, is the jewel in the crown of the whole
building - the temple room which is home to Their Lordships Sri Sri
Panca Tattva.

The temple room has a capacity of 100 people centred around the
hand-carved Indian wooden altar set on marble which is home to Their
Lordships.

We'd love to have you as our guest next week - please note though that
it will be a very busy day with lots of people expected to attend.

The ribbon cutting ceremony is at 3pm and admission to the temple room
for darshan to see the opening of the altar curtains for the very
first time will be determined on a first come first admitted basis.

The temple building, apart from the temple room itself, will open at
12pm to allow those who wish to queue to to guarantee their place to
be there early.

Children with parents to supervise them at all times are very welcome
on the day however push-chairs and prams unfortunately can not be
accommodated. Please also do not bring any large bags as there will be
no space.

The opening festival will begin after the ribbon cutting ceremony at
3pm and will feature, dance, drama, a slide show, video, a talk of
appreciation for the devotees, a huge feast and will feature the first
viewing of Their Lordships Sri Sri Panca Tattva.

We'd love to have you as our guest on the day and pray for your
blessings that ISKCON Dublin can continue to serve the needs of Lord
Krishna's devotees.
