🌼 Our Mission 🌼
ISKCON's mission is to spread the joy of Krishna Consciousness. The sacred mantra:
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare 🎶, brings peace, joy 😌, and spiritual awakening to all who chant it.
📚 Our Spiritual Foundation 📚
Our teachings are based on the Bhagavad-gita 📖 and Srimad-Bhagavatam 📜, which guide us to develop a loving relationship with Lord Krishna. These texts provide living guidance 💡 through the Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition 🕉️.
