DEVOTION. SIMPLICITY. COMPASSION are our guiding principles taught to us by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada, Founder of ISKCON, who showed us how to live as a true friend of all life.
For millennia the ancient Sanskrit teachings of the Bhagavad-gita and the rich culture of bhakti-yoga had been hidden within the borders of India. In 1965 Swami Prabhupada brought the Hare Krishna movement to New York and the Western world. Today millions of people around the world have benefited from meditation and the gifts of chanting. With teachings founded in the ancient Sanskrit verses of the Bhagavad-gita and other Vedic texts he graciously shared how this knowledge can be used to reach the transcendent absolute reality of divine love.
