The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) is a renowned global spiritual organization dedicated to the practice and propagation of Krishna consciousness. Founded in 1966 by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, ISKCON has since grown into a vibrant community of devotees, with centers and temples spread across the world. ISKCON's primary aim is to disseminate the teachings of Lord Krishna, as presented in the ancient Vedic scriptures, such as the Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam. The organization promotes spiritual enlightenment, personal transformation, and a deepened connection with the Supreme. Through various activities, including regular classes, kirtan (devotional chanting), festivals, and community service, ISKCON offers individuals an opportunity to engage in devotional practices and experience a sense of spiritual fulfillment. With an emphasis on peace, love, and self-realization, ISKCON welcomes seekers from all backgrounds to explore and embrace the philosophy of Krishna consciousness.

From my experience, a great place to enjoy a vegetarian meal(prasadam)and offer worship to the many aspects of God(Krsna). Also, the inhabitants of temple are very friendly!

Words cannot describe my love for Krsna/Visnu.

Everyone is welcome to join their beautiful service every Sunday that begins with congregational kirtan or devotional song and dance, followed by Bhagavad Gita or scripture class, and ends with a free vegetarian ‘saatvik’ dinner for all. There are kids programs going on parallely to the class. There is also a small gift shop that is open only on Sunday evenings and festivals. It sells Indian temple essentials and books. Iskcon is world famous for its gorgeous and opulent deity dressing and this is evident here as well. They also conduct spiritual programs in different suburbs which the volunteers will be happy to assist you with. So do visit this peaceful oasis in the middle of the city.

Janmashtami celebrations were extraordinary. A place where you directly connect to god.
