ISKCON New York City - Hare Krishna Center belongs to the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, the movement founded by Srila Prabhupada in July 1966. Its identity is inseparable from that origin, linking the Brooklyn temple to a tradition established under his leadership and carried forward through ISKCON communities. As a Hare Krishna center, it is defined by that lineage and by its place within the broader ISKCON tradition. The temple’s character is rooted in the history of an organization that began in 1966 and has remained closely associated with Srila Prabhupada’s founding vision. In Brooklyn, the center serves as a local expression of that established spiritual movement, carrying the name and heritage of ISKCON in New York City.
