ISKCON

ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness), also known as the Hare Krishna movement, is a religious organization founded in 1966 that promotes devotional worship of Lord Krishna, a major deity in Hinduism. Members follow spiritual teachings, chant the Hare Krishna mantra, and participate in rituals and community service to develop a personal connection with Krishna. The organization emphasizes living ethically, practicing compassion, and spreading spiritual awareness globally. ISKCON also operates temples, educational programs, and vegetarian initiatives, aiming to inspire individuals to attain spiritual enlightenment and foster a sense of global community rooted in ancient Vedic principles.
