Krishna consciousness transcends mere religious practiceβit's a spiritual, universal process with a time-tested foundation that leads to inner happiness, satisfaction, and heightened consciousness.
"We are not these bodies; we are spirit souls. Our eternal nature is to serve the Supreme Lord, Sri Krishna, in love and devotion."
A Universal Process
The Hare Krishna movement serves the unique purpose of making spiritual reality and its associated culture accessible to the broader public. Engaging with a devotee, indulging in the spiritual cuisine at our restaurants, participating in temple Sunday festivals, reading our literature, or chanting Hare Krishna even once can bring about a shift in your consciousness.
