International Society for Krishna Consciousness, which is known as ISKCON all over the world today. ISKCON was founded in 1966 by Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in New York, America. The main objective of this organization is to spread Shri Krishna and his teachings all over the world. The pure stream of Krishna devotion that started in New York soon started flowing in every corner of the world. Even today, the followers of ISKCON propagate the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita and Sanatan culture. Due to the simple rules of ISKCON and equality towards all castes and religions, the number of its followers is continuously increasing. This temple welcomes every person who wants to be absorbed in Lord Shri Krishna. Due to the tireless efforts of Swami Prabhupada, 108 temples were built all over the world in a short span of ten years. At present, more than 1000 temples of the ISKCON group have been established.
