ISKCON Visakhapatnam
May 1999, an ISKCON devotee couple, Samba Das and his wife reached Visakhapatnam from the US to build an ISKCON centre. With no backing, no funds to speak off and a language deterrent, they started from absolute scratch, new to the city; they searched around, took a house on rent. To begin with, they called in people from in and around the vicinity to partake in Krishna Bhajans, Gita Prayanam, and such activities. The ultimate aim - too build a grand temple complex for Krishna, a project they fondly named the 'Glory of Andhra'. While activities indulging in spreading the message of Gita, Sannkirtan, Yoga and the Hare Krishna mahamantra.
Samba Das began the quest with a dedication, determination and a confidence that few could fathom. Every hurdle, and there were many, he and his fellow ISKCON devotees tackled head on. Just when it seemed that all was lost, an unanticipated benefactor would step in, or a solution would materialize. And finally today, in the serene environs adjacent to Sagar Nagar, the temple is slated to rise.
As on today, the deities are installed in a big spacious hall with a small kitchen, prasadam hall, offices and rooms for devotees alongside,. Behind is a complex that houses Seminar Hall and guestrooms for ISKCON Life-Member. There is a 450 seater Multimedia Theater.
Also in place is a Goshala, big enough for about 50 cows. In the center lies the land earmarked for the main temple. And the plans are grandiose,. With a Four stories high housing six temples, namely deities Radha and Krishna, Jagannath Baladev and Subhadra, Rama-Laxmana-Sita, Gour-Nitai, Narasimha and Balaji. In addition, there are 12 Salagrama Silas being brought in from Nepal.
One level below the temples, there are proposed an audio visual library and a hall where the diaromas of life and lilas of Krishna will be displayed. In addition to this, also proposed is a cool underwater Mantra Meditation Hall, a Bhakti Vedanta naturopath center where in Yoga., Panchakarma, and similar Naturopathy cures will be put into practice. A School is also in the plans, up to the tenth standard wherein along with normal studies, there will be an emphasis on Vedanta and the Gita. Classical dance forms like Bharatanatyam, and Kuchipudi, contemporary skills like cooking , stitching, and computer technology too will be taught to the interested. Govinda Restaurant dishing out tasty, pure vegetarian eats is also coming up.
