Shri Krishna Balram Temple

Sri Krishna-Balaram Mandir, often called ISKCON Temple, is one of Vrindavan’s most famous and well-known temples. This temple, which is located in Vrindavan’s Raman Reti neighbourhood, symbolises Srila Prabhupada, the organisation’s founder, realising his ideal. The devotees of ISKCON have a special place in their hearts for this temple of unmatched grandeur.

This temple is unique in that it celebrates the connection of two holy brothers, Shri Krishna and Shri Balaram, just where they grew up.

The ISKCON temple is a striking example of Srila Prabhupada’s intention to serve as a source of inspiration for his followers. Srila Prabhupada personally monitored every stage of the temple’s planning and construction.

The Krishna philosophy is being promoted all over the world thanks to this temple.

In order to propagate Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s divine word, Shri A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada established the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in New York City in 1966.

The beliefs held by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (1486–1532), His brother Nityananada Prabhu, and six of His closest followers—the Goswamis of Vrindavan—Santana, Rupa, Jiva, Gopal Bhatta, Raghunatha Dasa, and Raghunatha Bhatta—serve as the foundation for the principles and practises of ISKCON.
