History

55 Years Of Service

In 1968, three American married couples – Gurudasa & Yamuna, Syamasundara & Malati (along with their baby daughter, Sarasvati), Mukunda & Janaki – at the request of their spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada, left San Francisco for London to start a new temple.
Eager to establish Krishna consciousness in London to please their spiritual master, they met with Srila Prabhupada in Montreal to discuss plans for London, get his blessings, and practice kirtana under his direction. They boarded for London just based on the faith on the words of Srila Prabhupada. The bliss and the struggle just started to unfold without knowing what was waiting for them…

Founder-Acarya

His divine grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada

ISKCON was founded in 1966 in New York by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, affectionately known as Srila Prabhupada by his followers. With great effort and determination, at the age of 69 (when most people are retired), he journeyed from Kolkata to New York by cargo ship hoping to help the people of the Western world to reconnect with their spiritual essence. He sought to pass on the ancient teachings of bhakti-yoga and demonstrated how to practically apply this knowledge to live a happy and fulfilling life.

Srila Prabhupada has unlocked the secrets and sacred spiritual knowledge in the Vedic tradition and made them accessible to everyone. His “Bhagavad-Gita As It Is” is the largest selling edition of the Bhagavad-Gita in the Western world and translated in over 76 languages.
