ISKCON Leicester

ISKCON Leicester, located at 31 Granby Street in the heart of Leicester, is part of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, a worldwide spiritual movement dedicated to Gaudiya Vaishnavism. ISKCON is dedicated to the practices of spiritual life based on the Vaishnava tradition that emerged in the 1600’s through the teachings of Sri Chaitanya. With a focus on mantra meditation, cultivation of spiritual wisdom and working in devotion, we welcome you to join the many programmes, festivals and celebrations held around the City. The temple provides a comprehensive range of spiritual services and cultural programs for the community. Regular worship services, bhajan and kirtan sessions, spiritual discourses, and festival celebrations mark the temple calendar throughout the year. ISKCON Leicester also offers educational programs that teach the philosophy of Krishna consciousness, yoga classes, and vegetarian prasadam distribution. The temple welcomes both seasoned practitioners and newcomers curious about Hindu spirituality and Vedic culture. For the Indian expat community and Hindu population in Leicester, ISKCON Leicester serves as an essential cultural and spiritual hub. The temple provides a welcoming space where families can maintain their religious traditions, celebrate important festivals like Janmashtami and Diwali, and connect with like-minded individuals. Beyond its religious functions, the temple fosters community cohesion, offers support to newcomers settling in Leicester, and promotes understanding of Hindu culture and values in the broader British society.
