Dear Friends
May Sri Sri Radha Radhanath bless you to come closer to Their lotus feet in this year. 2026 marks the 60th Anniversary of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). We celebrate six decades of spiritual inspiration, service, and global impact since ISKCON was founded in 1966 by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
From a small storefront in New York City, ISKCON has evolved into a global movement comprising temples, schools, farms, and millions of devotees, united by the joy of devotion to Lord Krishna. Rooted in timeless wisdom yet relevant to modern life, ISKCON continues to share the gifts of kirtan, spiritual education, compassionate service, and environmental care with people of all backgrounds. 2026 is an opportunity to reflect, rejoice, and recommit to honouring the past, celebrating the present, and shaping ISKCON’s future.
2026 Deity Sponsorships are now OPEN!
Celebrate a birthday, anniversary, new job, promotion, passing an exam, or honour a departed loved one by making an offering to the Deities. There are various options available.
