Be Inspired by Timeless Wisdom Applied Today
We are a nonprofit centre dedicated to sharing the experience of self-transformation and development — physically, emotionally, and spiritually, through the culture of Bhakti. Bhakti philosophy teaches that the divine qualities which lie at the very essence of the self can be revived though the experience of culture, as explored through literature, art, music, dance and drama. We aim to spread love, wellbeing and positivity so that you can lead a peaceful and balanced life, in harmony with other people and nature.
We live in a world which provides extraordinary conveniences and torrents of information. Yet the very technology designed for our well-being often serves only to isolate us from one another, create various imbalances in life and distance us from the experience of all that is truly divine.
Historically, the search for enduring happiness and the desire to reunite the self with God gave rise to various paths of yoga. The sacred texts of yoga, such as the Bhagavad-gita, Ramayana, and Srimad Bhagavatam, address the essential questions of life. Their teachings, handed down throughout the centuries, permeated the cultural arts of the Bhakti tradition.
At ISKCON-London we draw our inspiration from the life and teachings of Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who brought the culture of Bhakti to the Western world. We welcome you to visit, experience the programs and events we offer, and meet kindred spirits. We hope you will find it a place of inspiration and that your life may be in some way touched by the timeless wisdom and culture of Bhakti.
