About ISKCON
The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) was
established in 1966 by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada (Srila Prabhupada), in a small storefront situated in the
Lower East Side of New York City. ISKCON has since developed into
a worldwide confederation of 10,000 temple devotees and 250,000
congregational devotees.
Better known as the Hare
Krishna movement, ISKCON is presently comprised of more than 350 centres,
60 rural communities, 50 schools and 60 restaurants worldwide.
The mission of this
nonsectarian, monotheistic movement is to promote the well being of
society by teaching the Science of Krishna Consciousness according to
the Bhagavad-gita and other ancient scriptures.
