Mayapur is located on the banks of the Ganges river, at the point of its confluence with the Jalangi, near Navadvip, West Bengal, India, 130 km north of Kolkata. It is The Head Quarters of ISKCON and is considered a holy place by a number of other Gaudiya vaishnava traditions. A main attraction in Mayapur is Srila Prabhupada's Samadhi Mandir, a memorial to ISKCON's founder. The main shrine is surrounded by a museum depicting Srila Prabhupada's life. Video gallery >>

Vedic Planetarium
Srila Prabhupada desired to establish in Mayapur a planetarium that depicted the universe as described in the Vedic scriptures. Particularly, he directed that the planetarium be based on the descriptions given in the Srimad Bhagavatam and other Puranas, as well as the Brahma Samhita.
In many conversations, Srila Prabhupada again confirmed that he wanted the Vedic Planetarium to show the hierarchy of the universe, giving people a first hand glimpse of the different levels of the universe.
Srila Prabhupada also spoke on several occasions how he wanted the Vedic Planetarium to show the movements of the planets according to the Srimad Bhagavatam. In this regard, he gave the example of a chandelier, and how all the planets may be considered as moving within a chandelier that is itself moving. The TOVP Cosmology Research Group is currently developing such a model based upon Srila Prabhupada's instructions, and the statements of the authoritative scriptures, that will explain various universal phenomena such as passing of seasons, eclipses of the moon etc.
