Our Mission
Based on the ancient Vedic scriptures of India, specifically the Bhagavad-gita and the Srimad-Bhagavatam, ISKCON's mission serves all of humanity through the timeless wisdom of bhakti-yoga.
Seven Purposes of ISKCON
"To systematically propagate spiritual knowledge to society at large and to educate all people 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."
Purpose 1
To systematically propagate spiritual knowledge to society at large and to educate all people 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.
Purpose 2
To promote the well-being of society by teaching the science of Krishna consciousness according to Bhagavad-gita and other ancient scriptures.

To teach and encourage the sankirtana movement, congregational chanting of the holy name of God, as revealed in the teachings of Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
Purpose 5
To erect for the members and for society at large a holy place of transcendental pastimes dedicated to the personality of Krishna.
