Overview
Mission
The devotees of the Hare Krishna Society invite you to participate in reviving widespread interest in and obedience to Srila Prabhupada’s transcendental mission. The sanga of Srila Prabhupada’s disciples has been weakened and fragmented due, largely, to institutional corruption and misguided leadership. While some endeavor to reform institutions and their leaders. Hare Krishna Society devotees, following Srila Prabhupada’s example, understand the wisdom of avoiding politics and endeavor instead to establish new positive programs for preaching Krishna consciousness worldwide. We hope this will serve Srila Prabhupada’s dedicated followers as a guide for preaching Krishna consciousness and esta.
What it reported doing in 2024
To organize prayer sessions and recitations from Hindu scriptures Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam
