History
The ISKCON Vrindavan temple was established by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in 1975 under the guidance of its founder-acharya, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Prabhupada envisioned a temple that would serve as a center for Krishna consciousness and a place where devotees could deepen their understanding of Krishna. The temple was built on land donated by the government and quickly became a significant landmark in Vrindavan. Over the years, ISKCON Vrindavan has played a vital role in promoting Krishna consciousness globally. It has also contributed to the local community through various charitable activities and educational programs. The temple continues to be a thriving center for spiritual learning, devotional practices, and cultural exchange.
