On June 25 and 26, 2005 devotees gathered for the first meeting of the WVA in North America, hosted by Chaitanya Charitamrita Das and Lalita Devi Dasi at their Washington Lake Resort in New York State, USA. The meetings were attended by devotees representing several Vaishnava missions in the greater NY metropolitan area.
On both days, representatives gathered for intense discussions on many issues related to cooperation among missions wishing to expand their preaching activities in the region. Among the guests attending, the distinguished author of Vaishnava literature, Satyaraj Das (aka Steven Rosen) contributed many constructive ideas to the future role of WVA in the New York area.
