ISKCON Newcastle

ISKCON Newcastle, part of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness founded by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in 1966, has been serving the Newcastle upon Tyne community as a center for spiritual learning and devotional practice. The temple belongs to the Gaudiya Vaisnava tradition and is dedicated to sharing the timeless teachings of Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam. Located at 3 Cottenham Street Newcastle upon Tyne NE4 5QU, the temple provides a sacred space where devotees and visitors can connect with Krishna consciousness through worship of the Pancatattva deities. The temple offers a range of spiritual services including daily worship ceremonies, kirtan sessions featuring devotional singing and chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra, and educational programs on Vedic philosophy and scriptures. ISKCON Newcastle conducts regular satsangs, bhakti yoga classes, and festival celebrations that bring together members of the local Indian expat community and spiritual seekers from all backgrounds. The temple also provides guidance on meditation practices and vegetarian lifestyle principles rooted in ancient Vedic wisdom. For the Indian expat community in Newcastle, ISKCON serves as both a spiritual sanctuary and a cultural hub where families can maintain their religious traditions while living abroad. The temple fosters a sense of belonging through community gatherings, prasadam distribution, and opportunities for devotional service. Under the guidance of Caitanya Vallabha das, ISKCON Newcastle continues to be a vital resource for those seeking spiritual growth, cultural connection, and the pleasure-giving energy of devotional service in the North East of England.
