Imagine a person walking into the desert, sun rays along with heat waves piercing his body. In the harsh and inhospitable conditions, his only desire would be to find an oasis in that desert.  We experience the same when we find ourselves physically and mentally exhausted by this fast-paced and hectic modern lifestyle. And our soul seeks peace that can soothe our body, mind, and soul.  ISKCON temples are the metaphor for that oasis in today’s modern world, where we find a glimmer of hope, and our soul gets connected with the supreme lord in that mesmerizing environment.

ISKCON Temple

ISKCON Temples are well-known for their high-class Vaishnav Philosophy and Philanthropic works across the world. Here, we present Vedic knowledge blended with science in such a way that also impacted modern intellectuals. Apart from this ISKCON’s contribution to society through their Philanthropic activities can’t be denied.

  • During the pandemic of Corona ISKCON created a world record for distributing 5 lakh meals in a day, we have distributed more than 5 crore meals during Corona time.
  • Food For Life is the program of ISKCON where we daily distribute food to needy people within the 5 km circle of our temples and also in the hospital, schools, slums, etc.
  • ISKCON has its youth wings for boys and girls separately where we educate and train them in Vedic education blended with modern education.
  • We are protecting and promoting Vedic Culture through Preaching in big cities and villages as well, we have trained and dedicated teams working day and night for preaching.
  • Book distribution is a well-known activity of ISKCON, we have our own publishing house “Bhakti Vedant Book Trust” (BBT) where we print scriptures and theological books. We also have a dedicated “Traveling Sankirtan Party” that travels from city to city and preaches through book distribution.

ISKCON has grown rapidly in Rudrapur, and within just a few years, hundreds of youths and families have connected with it, actively practising Krishna Consciousness. However, our current preaching centre at A-7, Green Park, Kashipur Road, Rudrapur is no longer sufficient to meet our expanding needs.

To enhance our contribution to society and expand our spiritual outreach, we are constructing a magnificent ISKCON Temple in Rudrapur City, Uttarakhand. Our vision is for this temple to serve as the headquarters for preaching across the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, spreading the teachings of Lord Krishna and uplifting countless lives.

Below, we have outlined further details about this sacred initiative:

  • Prasadam Hall: Spacious dining area seating 350 people, serving prasadam in a hygienic environment.
  • Temple Hall: Large prayer hall with a 500-person capacity, ideal for bhajans, aartis, and religious gatherings.
  • Media Rooms: One is for media and promotions, and the other is for public viewing.
  • BBT Book Shop: Offers spiritual books, scriptures, and devotional items for devotees.
  • Multipurpose Hall: 100-person capacity for yoga, cultural events, and community gatherings.
  • Conference Rooms (2): Spaces for religious discussions, administrative meetings, and study sessions.

You can support us through donations in our project for the pleasure of Krishna and attain his immense blessings.

पितामहस्य पुरतः कुलान्यष्टौ तु यानि च।
तारयेदात्मना सार्धं विष्णोर्मन्दिरकारकः।।

In the Vamana Purana, we find the following verses: “Whoever constructs or helps to construct a Vishnu temple will protect eight generations of fathers, grandfathers, and forefathers from falling into hell.” And, “By building a temple for Sri Madhava, one can attain the eternal spiritual world (Vaikuntha). One who offers a garden laden with fruits and flowers for the service of the Deity will attain heavenly pleasures.”
