International Society

for Krishna Consciousness

Founder-Acharya His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta

Swami Prabhupada

• In the late 1960s, the first devotees come to Berlin

• The King of Puri, Gajapati Dibyasingha Deb, visits Berlin

in the mid-90s and gifts two sets of Jagannatha Deities to

ISKCON

• ISKCON could not find a proper place for Jagannatha in the

last 25 years, now is the time to buy the perfect property

• The temple room and the kitchen are too small

• There is no dedicated room for children and no

pujari room

• An 8 sqm space is used for storage, hosting guests,

as changing room and playroom for children

• Neighbours are upset and call the police

Our Vision

• Regular worship and events in the new temple/

traditional ISKCON programmes

• Classical ISKCON activities throughout the city:

harinam, book distribution, Ratha-yatra

• Establishing a prasadam business in a commercial-grade

kitchen (catering, food truck, sweets)

• Using the seminar room to build bridges with training,

coaching, yoga, astrology, etc.

• Running costs will be covered by rent from residential

space and seminar rooms, and prasadam distribution

• Programmes for children and youth

• Outreach with Kirtan Berlin

• Establishing an online store

• Weddings, homas, yajnas

• Inviting and working with young international travellers

and volunteers

The New ​Property

The new place we want to purchase would have all the facilities needed to present Krishna consciousness and have programmes for different audiences in a relevant way without being restricted by neighbours.

It is located in a popular but peaceful part of the city, which is not far from the centre and trendy neighbourhoods of Berlin and good to reach by public transport.

Facilities:

• Large temple room

• Additional seminar room

• Guest rooms

• Room for children

• House for renting out to devotees ​• Ashram

• Large professional kitchen

• Storage space

• Garden and backyard
