TOVP completion date moved up

[PADA: The GBC's TOVP "Vedic Planetary" building was supposed to be done in 2002, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2016, and so on and so forth, now its gone up to 2022. Hmmm, well that is what happens when the GBC spends $20m on folish lawsuits suing the Prabhupada devotees! ys pd]

TOVP Canada Team To Promote TOVP In Canada

By Sunanda das

As the devotional ecstacy of building and completing the TOVP increases like the flood of love of God, devotees worldwide are coming forward to assist with promotion and fundraising.

Officially formed under the banner of the Toronto, Ontario temple with the guidance and inspiration of His Holiness Bhaktimarga Swami, the TOVP Canada Team has begun moving forward, spreading the glories of the TOVP and helping to raise funds for its completion by 2022. Due to regional laws and regulations, the fundraising will focus on specific items for the TOVP, the first of which will be a highly advanced and powerful Lightning Arrester System (see below for description) costing around $100,000. 

With this new initiative, Canadian donors will now also be able to receive a tax-deductible receipt for their donations. For more information and to donate, contact Rajasuya das at: tovpcanada@tovp.org.

If you are an ISKCON leader, temple president, etc. and also feel inspired to help fulfill this desire of Srila Prabhupada in your community on an ongoing basis, please contact Vraja Vilas das at: brajavilasa.rns@gmail.com.

From Wikipedia:
A lightning arrester is a device used on electrical power systems and telecommunications systems to protect the insulation and conductors of the system from the damaging effects of lightning. The typical lightning arrester has a high-voltage terminal and a ground terminal. When a lightning surge (or switching surge, which is very similar) travels along the power line to the arrester, the current from the surge is diverted through the arrestor, in most cases to earth.

In telegraphy and telephony, a lightning arrestor is placed where wires enter a structure, preventing damage to electronic instruments within and ensuring the safety of individuals near them. Smaller versions of lightning arresters, also called surge protectors, are devices that are connected between each electrical conductor in power and communications systems and the Earth. These prevent the flow of the normal power or signal currents to ground, but provide a path over which high-voltage lightning current flows, bypassing the connected equipment. Their purpose is to limit the rise in voltage when a communications or power line is struck by lightning or is near to a lightning strike.
