ISKCON Bhiwadi
ISKCON Bhiwadi is a working center and community space where daily worship, music, and shared meals sit alongside Vedic study — built to welcome anyone curious about the practice of bhakti, whether they’re visiting once or coming back every week.
Part of a tradition that spans the globe.
The International Society for Krishna Consciousness was started in New York in 1966 by Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who carried the practice of bhakti — chanting, scripture, and devotional service — out of India and into communities across the world. Bhiwadi center is one of many local centres that continue that same work today, each shaped by the people and city around it.
Sustained by devotion and community support
ISKCON Bhiwadi Centre is growing through the heartfelt donations, seva, and encouragement of ISKCON Bhiwadi devotees, well-wishers, and all those who wish to help Krishna consciousness move forward. Every contribution—whether through time, resources, skills, or prayers—supports the centre’s efforts to create a welcoming spiritual space for devotees, families, youth, and sincere seekers.
The centre is dedicated to sharing the teachings of Srila Prabhupāda through Hare Krishna kirtan, Bhagavad-gītā study, festivals, prasadam distribution, and devotional service. With the continued support of the community, ISKCON Bhiwadi aims to nurture spiritual values, strengthen unity, and inspire more people to bring Krishna consciousness into their daily lives.

Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
At 69, with little more than a trunk of books, Srila Prabhupada travelled from India to New York in 1965 to bring bhakti practice to the West. Over the following decade he established more than a hundred temples, took on thousands of students, and translated dozens of volumes of Vedic scripture — work that founded the organisation every ISKCON centre, including this one, still belongs to.
A lineage older than the temple itself.
The temple follows the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition — a line of teachers running from Krishna through Vyasadeva to Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, who revived devotional chanting as its central practice in 15th-century Bengal. The core idea, Acintya Bhedabheda, holds that every soul is both distinct from and inseparable from the divine — not something to dissolve into, but something to grow toward through love rather than doctrine alone.
Mission
To share the practice of chanting and devotional service with anyone drawn to it, regardless of background.
Vision
A community that lives out its values through daily service — in the kitchen, the goshala, and the temple hall alike.
