ISKCON
Temple of Mumbai, dedicated to Lord Krishna, is one of the forty ISKCON
temples across India. Built by the ISKCON Foundation, the elevated spire
of this temple dominates the skyline of Juhu in Mumbai (erstwhile
Bombay). The International Society of Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) has
built a chain of temples throughout the world to promulgate the message
of Bhagwat Gita. With such endeavor, this cult desires to increase the
consciousness about Lord Krishna. The Iskcon temples are not just places of worship or architectural wonder but are representation of intellectual development. This society was founded by Swami Prabhupada - the divine soul, who preached the philosophy of love and happiness to the mankind. In the close vicinity of Prithvi theatre in Mumbai, Iskcon temple is a major landmark of the Juhu locality. Both, its interior and exterior walls are festooned with frescoes and sculptures.
In the main hall, there are paintings depicting the incidents from the life of Lord Krishna. The unsurpassed architectural magnificence of the temple is worth-seeing. On your visit to this temple, you will see numerous devotees working and chanting the 'Mahamantra' (literally the great syllable) granted by Swami Prabhupada. The temple authorities also conduct various educational, cultural and social programs to augment the Vedic wisdom.
The Vedic Educational and Cultural Complex (the Heaven on Earth) is a must-visit place, where the Robot Show presents religious knowledge by using electronic power. If you are feeling hungry, then try the typical Vaishnavite cuisine at Govinda Restaurant. Every evening, the temple gets reverberated with prayers and bhajans (devotional songs), attracting devotees from the nearby areas. Visit the Iskcon Temple of Mumbai and experience the divine ecstasy.
