A spiritual sanctuary

A living tradition, shared freely with every soul.

ISKCON was founded by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in 1966 — and the Birmingham temple has been a sacred home for the Hare Krishna community since 1976.

"Chanting the Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra is the sublime method for reviving our Krishna consciousness."
— Srila Prabhupada

★ Prasadam

The art of sacred eating.

Every Sunday, the temple serves a full vegetarian feast — first offered to Sri Sri Radha-Krishna and then distributed freely as prasadam. Rice, dhal, sabji, halava, sweets, tea — exactly as Srila Prabhupada taught.

You don't need to bring anything except your appetite. Bring friends, bring family — everyone leaves a little fuller, in body and soul.

Sunday 11am – 2pm
