🏛️ HISTORIC EVENT: The Embassy of India Officially Commemorates Our Shared Victory and the Authenticity of Sacred Spiritual Symbols!
With immense joy, we share a truly historic milestone that definitively seals our community's spiritual authority and legal truth!
On June 26, 2026, during his official visit to Kaunas, the Ambassador of the Republic of India to Lithuania, His Excellency Devesh Uttam, solemnly accepted the sacred Goloka Vrindavana Yantra (the visual expression of the spiritual world) presented by the representatives of our community.
Inscribed on the back of this unique spiritual artwork is the official, successfully won legal appeal from the State Patent Bureau of the Republic of Lithuania. This document legally proved that the sacred Vedic symbols used by our community have absolutely nothing to do with political manipulations or political ideologies.
His Excellency the Ambassador himself personally contributed to the defense of this truth when, following our initial meeting, he traveled to Kernavė to study ancient Baltic swastika artifacts.
Official Recognition:
The Embassy of India itself shared the moments of this meeting on its official Facebook page (see screenshot below), emphasizing the deep cultural and human bonds between India and Lithuania. This constitutes a direct validation at a state level of a spiritual mission dedicated to preserving the unrevised, pure word of Srila Prabhupada!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

FUTURE PLANS
✓ Create a website for the Gaudiya Vaisnava religious community, with an annual maintenance cost of around € 30 (this may vary slightly).
✓ To seek state recognition.
✓ To integrate vegetarian, vegan (mushroom-free) menu into various institutions (education, national defense, social care, imprisonment, personal health care, etc.). Legally, this is already possible, but it has not yet been implemented in reality, and it is hard and tedious work for anyone personally to fight against windmills in these establishments. Therefore, our mission will be to make it easier for everyone and make it possible for healthy nutrition to be available in mentioned institutions all over the country.
