ISKCON

For those who do not know, ISKCON is the acronym for the Internnational Society for Krishna Consciousness founded by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in New York in 1966 to propogate the timeless Vedic Knowledge of Bhagavad Gita and the Science of the Absolute Truth.

A warm welcome to the site of Radha Vallabha Dasa. It is my desire to try to inspire everyone to be satisified with devotional practices.

 

 

Purposes of ISKCON

Seven Purposes of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness


(a) To systematically propagate spiritual knowledge to society at large and to educate all peoples in the techniques of spiritual life in order to check the imbalance of the values in life and to achieve real unity and peace in the world.

(b) To propagate a consciousness of Krishna, as it is revealed in the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam.

c) To bring the members of the society together with each other and nearer to Krishna, the prime entity, thus to develop the idea within the members, and humanity at large, that each soul is part and parcel of the Quality of Godhead (Sri Krishna).

d) To teach and encourage the ‘sankirtan’ movement, congregational chanting of the Holy Names of God as revealed in the teachings of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

(e) To erect for the members and for society at large, a Holy place of transcendental pastimes, dedicated to the personality of Krishna.

(f) To bring the members closer together for the purpose of teaching a simpler and more natural way of life.

(g) With a view towards achieving the aforementioned purposes, to publish and distribute periodicals, magazines, books and other writings.
