About Us

About ISKCON Rajpura

A spiritual and cultural home serving Rajpura through bhakti, kirtan, prasadam, wisdom, and community programs for over two decades.

Our Journey

For over two decades, ISKCON Rajpura has been preaching Krishna consciousness, serving the local community, and promoting Indian spiritual culture. From small home gatherings to a vibrant temple community, every step has been guided by Krishna's mercy and Srila Prabhupada's vision.

Our Inspiration

We draw our inspiration from His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada — the Founder-Acharya of ISKCON — whose vision was to share Krishna consciousness with every town and village of the world.

Srila
Prabhupada
1896 — 1977
Founder-Acharya

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada

At the age of 69, Srila Prabhupada journeyed alone from India to America with little more than a trunk of books and unwavering faith in his spiritual master. Within a single decade, he established more than 100 temples, initiated thousands of disciples, and translated and commented on over 70 volumes of Vedic literature — gifting the world the timeless wisdom of Lord Krishna in a language every heart could receive.

"Chant Hare Krishna and be happy. Your life will become sublime."

— Srila Prabhupada
