The ISKCON aims at acquainting people with universal principles of self-realization and God consciousness. According to vedic literature, for achieving self-realization you must listen about, praise and remember the  superlative power Sri Krishna. It is because of this the chanting of the Mantra: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare / Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare is advocated. The person chanting these words feels the power of lord Krishna while he is chanting this Mantra.

International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) is also known as the Hare Krishna movement. This spiritual movement  was lead by Swami Prabhupada in July 1966 in New York. ISKCON belongs to the Gaudiya-Vaishnava sampradaya of Vedic culture. Presently ISKCON society has more than 400 temples. ISKCON is believed to have originated with Lord Krishna himself and movement has continued with several eminent leaders. Presently Swami Prabhupada and his followers are bearing this responsibility.

ISKCON teaches you to follow the teachings of the Vedas and most importantly Shrimad Bhagavadgita which helps you to follow Vaishnavism or Lord Krishna and his supreme presence in form of Radha Krishna. ISKCON teaches non-sectarian path, follows the principle of sanatana dharma or eternal religion and preaches loving devotional service (bhakti-yoga) to the supreme power.

The ISKCON Lucknow organizes several several events to inculcate the feeling of inner inspiration.
