Below are Srila Prabhupada's 10 purposes of ISKCON. We have adapted them as our mission statement for the Hare Krishna Centre.

 

  • To systematically propagate spiritual knowledge to society at large and to educate all peoples in the techniques of spiritual life in order to check the imbalance of values in life and to achieve real unity and peace in the world.

 

  • To propagate a consciousness of Krishna, as it is revealed in Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam.

 

  • To bring the members of the Society together with each other and nearer to Krishna, the prime entity, thus developing the idea within the members, and humanity at large, that each soul is part and parcel of the quality of Godhead (Krishna).

 

  • To teach and encourage the sankirtana movement, congregational chanting of the holy names of God, as revealed in the teachings of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

 

  • To erect for the members and for society at large a holy place of transcendental pastimes dedicated to the personality of Krishna.

 

  • To bring the members closer together for the purpose of teaching a simpler, more natural way of life.

 

  • With a view toward achieving the aforementioned purposes, to publish and distribute periodicals, books, and other writings.
