OUR MISSION

Our Mission

At ISKCON Edmonton, we’re part of a global movement founded by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in 1966. Our sevenfold mission drives everything we do:

To systematically propagate spiritual knowledge to society at large and to educate all peoples in the techniques of spiritual life in order to check the imbalance of values in life and to achieve real unity and peace in the world.
To propagate a consciousness of Krishna as it is revealed in the Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam.
To bring the members of the Society together with each other and nearer to Krishna, the prime entity, and thus to develop the idea, within the members, and humanity, at large, that each soul is part and parcel of the quality of Godhead (Krishna).
To teach and encourage the Sankirtan movement of congregational chanting of the holy name of God as revealed in the teachings of Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
To erect for the members, and for society at large, a holy place of transcendental pastimes, dedicated to the personality of Krishna.
To bring the members closer together for the purpose of teaching a simpler and more natural way of life.
With a view towards achieving the aforementioned purposes, to publish and distribute periodicals, magazines, books and other writings.

Meet Our Founder

OUR FOUNDER

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (1896–1977) brought Krishna consciousness to the world. At 69, he left India to fulfill his guru’s vision, founding ISKCON in New York City in 1966. In just 11 years, he established over 100 temples globally and authored profound books that continue to guide millions.

The Krishna consciousness movement is the process of awakening the original consciousness of the human being.
