A Legacy of Devotion
The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) was established in 1966 by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada. The ISKCON Lucknow temple was established in the early 1990s and has since grown to become one of the prominent spiritual centers in the city.
The temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna and Srimati Radharani, known as Sri Sri Radha Krishna. The temple follows the Vaishnava tradition, one of the major Hindu denominations, which worships Vishnu or Krishna as the Supreme Lord.
Over the years, ISKCON Lucknow has expanded its services and outreach programs, serving the community through various spiritual and charitable activities.

ISKCON Lucknow's mission is to promote the well-being of society by teaching the science of Krishna consciousness according to Bhagavad-gita and other ancient scriptures.
Systematically propagate spiritual knowledge to society at large
Bring members closer together for teaching a simpler and more natural way of life
Educate people in spiritual techniques to check the imbalance of values
Propagate consciousness of Krishna as revealed in Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam
