PADMA Store Online
The PADMA Project vision is to develop a sustainable plan to develop both the ISKCON DURBAN property and the devotee community. This endeavour requires resources and we have thus decided to open an online store that will help our devotee community while raising funds. ISKCON Durban would like to partner with local devotee entrepreneurs by creating a platform where we can offer handmade, locally sourced items for the online store. All profits will go towards The PADMA Project, which is ISKCON Durban’s strategic and development plan to restore and uplift the temple facilities. If you would like to join this initiative, contact us at padmaproject@iskcondurban.net
