ISKCON London - Bhaktivedantha Manor
The first members of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness to enter Britain were three American couples, who arrived in 1968. At first, not having any financial support life was a struggle.
Yet soon they gained the attention of one of the Beatles, George Harrison, who had encountered the Hare Krishna devotees in America. Together with John and Paul, they recorded a single of the mantra which got them onto “Top of the Pops”. Funds from sales of the record enabled them to rent a building in Bury Place, near the British Museum, and convert it into a temple. Srila Prabhupada, the founder of ISKCON, arrived in England for the first time in September 1969 and was hosted for a few weeks by John Lennon and Yoko Ono at their home near Ascot.
As the group near the British Museum grew larger it became obvious that a new building was required so in 1973 George Harrison purchased a manor house set in 17 acres in Hertfordshire and later that year it was named ‘Bhaktivedanta Manor’. Bhaktivedanta Manor is the UK headquarters of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) .
Bhaktivedanta Manor propagates the teachings of the authentic Vedic scriptures. These were finally brought to the West by Srila Prabhupada, Bhaktivedanta Manor´s founder. George Harrison of The Beatles kindly donated Bhaktivedanta Manor to ISKCON in 1973 to cater for the growing congregation. Today Bhaktivedanta Manor has developed into an important theological college, and has become renowned as a place of pilgrimage. It is a holy place dedicated to the upliftment of human society through spiritual education, culture and lifestyle. This rural retreat serves as a window to Vrindavan, Lord Krishna´s eternal home. It is a God-centred community which gives refuge to people from all walks of life. Video gallery >>
