About ISKCON — International Society for Krishna Consciousness
ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) was founded in 1966 by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in New York City. Today, ISKCON has over 700 temples worldwide, making it one of the largest Vaishnava movements in the world. The ISKCON Pune Hadapsar center upholds this legacy by serving thousands of devotees every month.
The philosophy of ISKCON is rooted in the ancient Vedic scriptures — primarily the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam. Through Harinam Sankirtan (chanting of the Hare Krishna Maha-mantra), distribution of Prasadam (sanctified food), and regular Aarti programs, ISKCON temples like ours in Hadapsar serve as beacons of spiritual light in every city.
