Founded by Srila Prabhupada
A Lifelong Spiritual
Connection
The ISKCON International Life Patron Program was introduced by the Founder-Acharya of ISKCON, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, in the early 1970s.
Many people wish to dedicate their lives to Krishna, but family and professional responsibilities make it difficult to become a full-time devotee. The Life Patron Program was created precisely for such souls — so that anyone can contribute to ISKCON’s preaching mission, receive spiritual association, and remain connected to the global Hare Krishna family while fulfilling their duties at home.
