Have you visited the Iskcon temple yet???No...???you are really missing out on something wonderful...Its one of the best temples i have ever visited...Gosh...things are changing so quickly these days even a temple is becoming modern day by day.I had a pleasure of visiting the Iskcon temple in Bangalore and was truly amazed by the vibes,atmosphere and last but not the least the food!!!!!...For those who don't know the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), known colloquially as the Hare Krishna movement, is a Gaudiya Vaishnava religious organization.It was founded in 1966 in New York City by "His Divine Grace" Abhay Caranaravinda Bhaktivedanta Svami "Prabhupada".Its core beliefs are based on traditional Hindu scriptures such as the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and the Bhagavad-gītā, both of which, according to the traditional Hindu view, date back more than 5,000 years. The distinctive appearance of the movement and its culture come from the Gaudiya Vaisnava tradition, which has had adherents in India since the late 15th century and Western converts since the early 1930s.ISKCON was formed to spread the practice of bhakti yoga, in which aspirant devotees (bhaktas) dedicate their thoughts and actions towards pleasing the Supreme Lord, Krishna.ISKCON today is a worldwide confederation of more than 400 centers, including 60 farm communities, some aiming for self-sufficiency, 50 schools and 90 restaurants. In recent decades the movement's most rapid expansions in terms of numbers of membership have been within Eastern Europe (especially since the collapse of the Soviet Union) and India.When you enter the temple even the bhajans devotional songs that you will hear will have a modern touch to it.I still remember when i was a kid i used to go with my family to any temple it used to be so different everything used to be so traditional.Its not that im against the tradition but this is definitely one of the best places to visit.The temples are present all around the world !!!..The temples are so many that im not able to put all of them here as loading this page then might crash your computer but you can find the information on all the temples around the world here .
