About the Hare Krishna Movement
The Hare Krishna Movement Mumbai is a spiritual organisation that aims to give human society an opportunity for happiness, good health, peace of mind and all good qualities through God Consciousness.
Registered as a trust in 2010, it is spiritually mentored by ISKCON Bangalore. By the desire of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of the worldwide Hare Krishna Movement, who wished “to organise Bombay as world headquarters from every point of view, culturally, scientifically and philosophically”. Following in the footsteps of Srila Prabhupada, the devotees at HKM Mumbai conduct their activities based on the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and the Vedas.
Sessions on the Bhagavad Gita
With an active presence in Mumbai since 2015, HKM Mumbai organises life-changing sessions in and around Mumbai for the welfare of all.
Scores of people have benefited from these sessions that are offered for free. Their lives have transformed. Thousands of agitated minds have become tranquil, receiving direction and solace; anxiety and stress have been replaced by peace and happiness, while anger and frustration have been supplanted by contentment and satiation. HKM Mumbai helps them receive precise, practical guidance from the Bhagavad Gita so that they don’t just GO through life but GROW through it.
Food Distribution or Anna Daan
HKM Mumbai is dedicated to changing the devastating statistics on world hunger and fulfilling the desire of Srila Prabhupada that no one within a ten-mile radius of his centre should go hungry. The Hare Krishna Movement provides free daily food to marginalised sections of society through its Akshaya Chaitanya initiative in Mumbai to achieve this goal.
Yatras
Every month, HKM Mumbai organises spiritual yatras, or trips, to various holy places around India. It fuels one’s spiritual awakening and connects one deeply with Indian culture and heritage, as well as bringing closer to the divine.
Being present in God’s abode, hearing about His pastimes and visiting the same spots in the company of devotees is indeed an enlivening and memorable experience! Enchanting kathas, ecstatic kirtans, and lip-smacking prasadam enrich the whole experience even more.
Indian Culture and Values for Kids
For children, weekend programmes called “Indian Culture and Values for Kids” are conducted to introduce young children to the Vedic value system in an esoteric, interactive way for the age group of 4-14 years.
