Some progress is made on BrajRas-2007 but we’re not quite there yet. We need the strong help from both old and new generous sponsors to make this project successful!!! We intend to publish BrajRas draft by end of November for review and planned to print and publish by January 2007.

Allow us to provide great advertisement for your business. Depending upon level of sponsorship, we are happy to extend the various services to our sponsors.

Important Note:
1. We’re actively looking for nice pictures that you may have snapped at VPS festivals, weekly programs, or any other time in the year 2006. Please email us we would love to feature the picture in the yearbook.

2. Also, we are seeking volunteers in many interesting areas for BrajRas; please contact Madhav Das, Chair -BrajRas at (617) 750-0553

This consciousness and spiritual practice (Sadhana) is maintained while integrating our daily activities. One of the major goals of the Vrindavana Preservation Society is to promote Braj Culture. By establishing a Braj Center for our community of members and all interested persons, we would be able to extend our current activities in a number of different areas.
