The Vision

A holy place of transcendental pastimes

ISKCON Dharwad worships Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Neelamadhav. For years the community has gathered for darshan, kirtan, festivals and the distribution of prasadam. Now that growing family is raising a new temple worthy of the love this city carries.

  • Share spiritual knowledge and the science of self-realisation with society at large.
  • Spread Krishna consciousness as revealed in the Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam.
  • Bring devotees together and nearer to Krishna, the supreme person.
  • Encourage the Sankirtan movement of congregational chanting of the holy names.
  • Erect a holy place of transcendental pastimes dedicated to Lord Krishna.
