About ISKCON Gurugram

    Rooted in bhakti, ISKCON Gurugram is a sacred space for kirtan, seva, festivals, and transformation โ€” where every soul finds purpose through Krishna consciousness.

    ISKCON: A Global Spiritual Movement

    The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) was founded in 1966 by Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupฤda to spread the message of Krishna consciousness โ€” the path of loving devotion to Lord Krishna. Centered on the chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra, scriptural study, and devotional service, Krishna consciousness reconnects the soul with its divine purpose. Today, ISKCON is a global spiritual movement, with temples like ISKCON Gurugram offering a life of meaning, joy, and devotion.

    Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupฤda

    Year 1965, a man named A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, aged 69, fearlessly sails from India to New York, carrying with him a trunk of books and $7 in change, and a miracle happens that leaves the world astounded for years to come. The past is made, the present is the time we are living in, but one can achieve the vision to pave the path of a peaceful future for many, only through constant practice, dedication and faith.

    Gaudiya Vaishnava Philosophy

    A Living Tradition of Bhakti from Krishna to Caitanya

    Mission

    To spread the holy names of Lord Krishna and inspire pure devotional service worldwide.

    Vision

    To build a global community rooted in love, devotion, and the teachings of Gaudiya Vaishnavism.

    The Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition is rooted in the original Brahma-Madhva Sampradฤya, a disciplic succession that begins with Lord Krishna Himself. This eternal lineage flows through Lord Brahma, then to Narada Muni, followed by ลšrฤซla Vyฤsadeva, and continues through many exalted ฤcฤryas. Later, this line was enriched and illuminated by the teachings of ลšrฤซ Madhvฤcฤrya, a great devotee and philosopher who firmly established the principles of devotional monotheism (bhakti).

    In the 15th century, this spiritual current took a profound turn with the divine appearance of ลšrฤซ Caitanya Mahฤprabhu in Navadvฤซpa, Bengal. ลšrฤซ Caitanya is accepted by His followers as Kแน›แนฃแน‡a Himself in the mood of a devotee, who came to teach by example the process of pure devotional service (bhakti-yoga). Due to His appearance in the region of Gaura-deล›a (Bengal), this lineage came to be known as the Gaudiya Vaishnava Sampradฤya.

    The core philosophical teaching of the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition, as propagated by ลšrฤซ Caitanya Mahฤprabhu and His followers, is known as Acintya Bhedฤbheda Tattva โ€” the doctrine of โ€œinconceivable simultaneous oneness and difference.โ€ According to this philosophy, the living entities (jฤซvas) and the Supreme Lord (Bhagavฤn ลšrฤซ Kแน›แนฃแน‡a) are simultaneously one in quality and different in identity. This understanding harmonizes the personal and impersonal aspects of the Absolute Truth and establishes loving devotional service (bhakti) as the supreme goal of life.

    Under the modern-day guidance of ลšrฤซla A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupฤda, the founder-ฤcฤrya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), the Gaudiya Vaishnava philosophy has spread all over the world, delivering the message of Lord Caitanya โ€” chanting the holy names of Kแน›แนฃแน‡a โ€” to every town and village.
