Parents, teachers, carers.. Thank you for visiting!

We are working on this website, as a big project, to offer a one-stop-source for children services in our ISKCON world.

Everything that you would like to find for children in ISKCON will be here…

Not only do we create resources and material to add to the website but we also gather different resources from devotees and communities around the world.

You will find various kinds of fun activities for children, resources and training to prepare yourself for children services, and practical tools and support to set up children programs in your temple and/or congregations.

“That is the success of the movement, because younger generation, they are the flowers, the future hope of the country, of the world. If they take this movement seriously then the whole world will be happy.”

Chanting

Japa is a special time when we meditate on the holy names of Radha and Krishna. Just like the yogi meditating in the forest, we sit down with a focused mind, like he does with his half-closed eyes to avoid distractions. During japa, we listen carefully to the Hare Krishna mahamantra and don’t do anything else.

Srila Prabhupada tells us that the mahamantra means, “Oh Hare! Oh Krishna! Oh Rama! Please engage me in Your service.” Hare represents Srimati Radharani, Krishna is the all-attractive Lord, and Rama is the source of happiness. When we chant, we’re calling out to Krishna, asking for His mercy and to be engaged in His service forever.

Check out these videos of japa workshops by His Grace Mahatma Prabhu. He shares helpful tips and explains why chanting is important for our Krishna conscious life.
