Our Founder
HIS DIVINE GRACE A.C. BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI PRABHUPADA
FOUNDER-ACHARYA : INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS
Srila Prabhupada (1896-1977) was an extraordinary personality who dedicated his life to teaching the world about Krishna Consciousness, ancient India’s most noble message of spiritual wisdom. In 1965, at the age of 69, he sailed from India to New York to share Lord Krishna’s message, on the order of his spiritual master Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura, representing a line of teachers dating back to Lord Krishna Himself.
The first diety installation by Srila Prabhupada was done in Kolkata in May 1971. Srila Prabhupada had instructed His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Maharaj to establish at least ten temples in Kolkata. All devotees under the able leadership of HH Jayapataka Swami Maharaj, HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj, HH Bhakti Purushotam Swami Maharaj are sincerely trying to fulfill this instruction.

- "To systematically propagate spiritual knowledge to society at large and to educate all people in the techniques of spiritual life in order to check the imbalance of values in life and to achieve real unity and peace in the world."
- "To propagate a consciousness of Krishna (God), as it is revealed in the great scriptures of India, Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam."
- "To bring the members of the Society together with each other and nearer to Krishna, the prime entity, thus developing the idea within the members, and humanity at large, that each soul is part and parcel of the quality of Godhead (Krishna)."
- "To teach and encourage the sankirtana movement, congregational chanting of the holy name of God, as revealed in the teachings of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu."
- "To bring the members closer together for the purpose of teaching a simpler, more natural way of life."
