ISKCON or International Society for Krishna Consciousness was established by Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in 1966. The greater aim of the society is definitely the general well being of man kind. However its immediate aim is to popularize the teachings of the Bhagawad Gita and the Vedic scriptures and thereby create a clear perception in the minds of individuals. This is to help them to lead a simple yet pure and ethereal life. They are credited with the construction of as many as 6000 temples and the first of these is the ISKCON Temple at Vrindavan.
