ISKCON Ahmedabad

Serving Sri Sri Radha Govind with Love and Devotion

About ISKCON

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness—spreading the holy names and the wisdom of the Vedas worldwide.

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder of ISKCON

ISKCON was founded in 1966 by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada to share the practice of bhakti yoga—loving devotion to Lord Krishna—and the timeless wisdom of the Vedas.

Today ISKCON is a worldwide family of more than 800 temples, ashrams, and cultural centres. From a small beginning in New York City, the movement has touched millions through temple worship, sacred literature, prasadam, kirtan, and the chanting of the holy names: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.

ISKCON Ahmedabad on the Sarkhej Gandhinagar Highway offers darshan, kirtan, prasadam, and the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita to all. Our mission is to help every soul reawaken its eternal relationship with the Divine through the mercy of Sri Sri Radha Krishna.

Whether you are new to bhakti or have been practising for years, you are welcome here. The temple is a place to slow down, offer your respects to the deities, hear the holy names, and take prasadam—food offered to the Lord with love. Many visitors find that even a short visit brings peace and inspiration.

Through regular programs such as Sunday Feast, Bhagavad Gita classes, and kirtan evenings, we aim to make the path of devotion accessible to families and seekers of all ages. Come and experience the warmth of Krishna consciousness at ISKCON Ahmedabad.

His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada's books, temples, and the ongoing sankirtan movement continue to carry his mercy to every corner of the globe. By following his instructions and serving the mission he began, devotees everywhere keep his presence alive and help others discover the joy of the holy names.

His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada

Abhay Charanaravinda Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada was born in 1896 in Kolkata. In 1922 he met his spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur, who instructed him to spread the message of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam in English to the Western world.

In 1965, at sixty-nine, Srila Prabhupada travelled to the United States on a cargo ship with little more than a trunk of books and unwavering devotion. In 1966 he founded ISKCON in New York City.

Over the next twelve years he circled the globe fourteen times, opened more than 100 temples, and initiated thousands of disciples. He wrote over seventy volumes of translations and commentaries, including Bhagavad Gita As It Is and the multi-volume Srimad-Bhagavatam.

“Just try to learn the truth by approaching a bona fide spiritual master and surrender unto him.”

Srila Prabhupada left this world in 1977 in Vrindavan. At ISKCON Ahmedabad we strive to honour his vision by making Krishna consciousness accessible to everyone who seeks it.
