About Krishna Consciousness

Practices

Our main tools are spiritual practices, like chanting the Hare Krishna mantra, eating vegetarian prasadam, and reading the Bhagavad-Gita (“Song of God”). We do these things regularly to achieve personal transformation.

Krishna

And of course, learn about Krishna, revered in India for thousands of years as the All-Attractive Lord of Lords and the Source of All Creation. Understand how and why we worship him, and about our lineage of spiritual teachers that stretches back to Krishna himself.
