Today there was a ceremony in Hotel National in Moscow, where Srila Prabhupada stayed in 1971. The hotel has a gallery of portraits of famous people who stayed in the hotel. Among those are Lenin, Stalin, Great Princess Romanov, Catherine Deneuve, H. G. Wells, Steven Seagal, Pelé and others. Today Srila Prabhupada’s portrait was added to that gallery.
Devotees had a program with speeches from academics and representatives of other faiths, and then popular Russian singer Sati Kazanova chanted a few mantras. Later, devotees visited the room in which Srila Prabhupada stayed during his historic visit.
I am sharing some photos made by me, and later there will be professional photos available.
