The movement was founded in the western world in 1966 by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, a pure devotee of God representing an unbroken chain of spiritual masters originating with Lord Krishna Himself. ISKCON has since developed into a worldwide confederation of 10,000 temple devotees and 250,000 congregational devotees. Better known as the Hare Krishna movement,
There are eight principles which forms the basis of the Krishna consciousness movement. We invite all our readers to consider them with an open mind and then visit one of the Hare Krishna centers to see how they are being applied in everyday life. With the instructions and blessings of Srila Prabhupada, some devotees with Mahakarta Das (current temple president) came to Sri Lanka on 4/10/1976 to open a temple in Colombo.
