About Us
The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) was
established in 1966 by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada (Srila Prabhupada). ISKCON has since developed into a
worldwide confederation of 10,000 temple devotees and 250,000 congregational devotees.
Better known as the Hare Krishna movement, ISKCON is comprised of more than
350 centres, 60 rural communities, 50 schools and 60 restaurants worldwide.
The mission of this nonsectarian, monotheistic movement is to promote the well
being of society by teaching the science of Krishna consciousness according to
Bhagavad-gita and other ancient scriptures.
ISKCON's Structure
Communities
Most ISKCON members practise Krishna consciousness in their homes and
live and work in the general community. They also congregate in temples
for worship.
Most temple-based members are in training, or serve as clergy engaged in
ministerial and missionary work. Some members also help maintain ISKCON
rural communities throughout the world.
