DISSOLVE IN KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS
Krishna Consciousness is an awareness and an affection for the Supreme Being, Krishna. To be Krishna Conscious is to be a devotee, Bhakt, and be on the path of Bhakti. Bhakti (the path of devotion) states that the highest duty of man is to do that, which generates devotion to Krishna; devotion which is motiveless, which is unyielding to any obstacle and which fills the heart of man with peace.
THE HARE KRISHNA MOVEMENT
The International Society of Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) is Bhakti Yoga for today’s age. A global spiritual movement, a mission, to make the world aware of the Supreme Lord, Krishna, and to foster a deep devotion towards Him. ISKCON gently guides you to be a devotee and for this divine devotion to, gradually, come to be your essence even as you continue to be in the world and discharge your worldly duties.
The Hare Krishna Movement does not ask of you to renounce anything rather it asks that you add Krishna to your life and in that be Krishna Conscious. The charm lies in the ease of the practise; continue to be in the world even as you cultivate a deep devotion for Krishna. Chant His name as often as you can, hear of His accounts and sing His glories.
Hare Krishna devotees chant God’s names in the form of the Mahamantra, “Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare. Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.” The Srimad Bhagvatam states that Krishna, the friend of the devotees, purifies the hearts of those who take His name — that He manifests in their hearts and erases all evil-tendencies.
FOUNDER ACHARYA
SRILA PRABHUPADA
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (1896-1977) is widely regarded as the foremost Vedic scholar, translator, and teacher of the modern era. He is especially respected as the world’s most prominent contemporary authority on bhakti-yoga, devotional service to the Supreme Person, SriKrishna, as taught by the ancient Vedic writings of India. He is also the founder-acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
Srila Prabhupada, as he is known to his followers, translated and commented over eighty volumes of the Vedas’ most important sacred bhakti texts, including the Bhagavad-gita—a concise handbook for understanding the purpose and goal of human life—and the multi-volume Srimad-Bhagavatam—an epic biography of Krishna, Krishna’s avatars, and His many devotees throughout the history of the universe.
sri sri radha madhava temple
A very generous Life Member in Abids Temple, one of the oldest ISKCON temples in India, wanted to do some service to please Radha and Krishna. His Grace Sitaram Prabhuji inspired to build a temple for Radha and Krishna and provide service throughout the year.

The temple altar is on the first floor with Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Madhav, Jagannath Baladeva Subhadra, and Gaur Nitai giving their beautiful darshan.
