ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness)
ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) was established in 1966 by Swami Prabhupada. ISKCON, is also known as the Hare Krishna movement.
The mission of ISKCO is teaching the science of Krishna consciousness according to Bhagavad-Gita and other ancient scriptures
Seven Purposes of ISKCON
1. To systematically propagate spiritual knowledge to society at large and to educate all world 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.
2. To propagate a consciousness of Krishna, as it is revealed in the Bhagavad-gita and the Srimad-Bhagavatam.
3. To bring the members of the Society together with each other and nearer to Krishna, the prime entity, thus to develop the idea within the members, and humanity at large, that each soul is part and parcel of the quality of Godhead (Krishna).
4. To teach and encourage the sankirtana movement, congregational chanting of the holy names of God as revealed in the teachings of Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
5. To erect for the members, and for society at large, a holy place of transcendental pastimes, dedicated to the personality of Krishna.
6. To bring the members closer together for the purpose of teaching a simpler and more natural way of life.
7. With a view towards achieving the aforementioned purposes, to publish and distribute periodicals, magazines, books and other writings
Bhagavad Gita
The Bhagavad-Gita is the holy Book Hindu religion, is presented here as a story that will be accessible to all world where Krishna and Arjun is the main part of Bhagavad-Gita. It begins in long-ago India when Arjuna Pandava is about to fight a war and asks Lord Krishna for aid and advice.
Lord Krishna (God) describes the working of spiritual world to Pandava: "When your service to Me never stops and is done only for My pleasure, and when you are friendly to every living being, I will lead you from this world of birth and death.
God has six qualities-- Aishwarya, Dharma, Gyana, Vairagya, Shree or Shreyas and Yashah . Here the Lord informs Arjuna about the system of yoga, "This yoga that I talked to you about is immortal". Fire will always burn. This is its nature and it has always been so. Similarly, the Karma yoga philosophy is also immortal and cannot be improved upon.
Bhagavad-Gita, was first spoken to the sun-god, After that he explained it to Manu, and Manu explained it to Ikshavaku, and in that way, by disciples succession, one speaker after another, this yoga system has been coming down.
Maha Mantra - Hare Krishna
Maha Mantra is dedicated to God. Maha Mantra is prayer for healing and comfort. So the mahamantra is the energy of Lord Hare Krishna. The transcendental seeds of the mantra are Hare, Krishna and Ram.
HARE KRISHNA, HARE KRISHNA, KRISHNA KRISHNA, HARE HARE
HARE RAMA, HARE RAMA, RAMA RAMA, HARE HARE
If we carefully listen and song the Hare Krishna maha mantra regularly, we will sure free from all major problems and get a peaceful mind. Then we can make further progress in the mantra meditation process, and thus we will gradually experience a re-awakening of our original identity and our dormant love for lord Hare Krishna.
