Located at Vrindavan on Raman Reti Road, Uttar Pradesh, the ISKCON temple is the first temple built by ISKCON. One of the most significant spiritual centers in India, ISKCON (The International Society for Krishna Consciousness) was established by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in the year 1966.


Its temple is in Vrindavan, Lord Krishna's sacred city is a bustling place. Vrindavan was named after the delicate tulsi plant that is the symbol of Radha, Krishna's beloved mistress. Also known as Sri Krishna Balaram Mandir, it is a well equipped with modern facilities. The temple courtyard is surrounded by verandahs with beautiful wall paintings depicting the life of Lord Krishna.

Every temple should be like this one! There is such a deeply felt mood of devotion and love in this temple. The care taken to decorate the Lord and His temple is evident in the beautiful darshans. And the perpetual kirtan is absolutely heart-penetrating. The property also has the samadhi and home of the great Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada who took bhakti-yoga outside of India and spread it throughout the world.

ISKCON Temple Vrindavan Front View

ISKCON TEMPLE VRINDAVAN

This is the actual adobe of lord Krishna, though I am not a fan or follower of ISKCON this place is very mesmerizing.

Unknowingly you will chant and dance to the tunes of "Hare Rama, Hare Krishna"

The evening AARTI is one such beautiful moment you need to experience for yourself.

If you are at Vrindavan, this is the place to visit. Awesome !! is the only word to describe the place. It is a temple of Krishna and Balaram. We went for prayers, however were stuck with the beauty of the deity and the flower decoration. Go their, sit and enjoy for some time.

Vrindavan, the place where Lord Krishna indulged in his pastimes and where you will find a temple for Krishna in every nook and corner of this town, has over 5000 temples (I am told). In this labyrinth of temples the Iskcon temple stands out due to its sheer sense of "Bhakthi" or devotional service to Krishna. The beautiful temple made of exquisite marble sculpture and the most beautiful deities of Krishna, Radha and Gaura Nitai I have seen till date, reverberate with devotion. Incessant kirtan and bhajan, the flow of devotees (many of the from abroad and many of the ladies look like Gopis in Indian attire), the easily available Prasad and the fabulous Darshan (sight) of the Lord without any long queues make the ISKCON Krishna Balram temple the best in Vrindavan.

This was the best temple that I have ever visited in my life. The moment I entered the temple I could not believe my eyes. The fresh flowers were looking gorgeous. The vibes in the temple were amazing. I loved the chanting and the devotees are absolutely friendly they made us feel at home. I will visit the temple over and over again and would recommend anyone to visit this temple and have the best experience of their life.
