Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to inform you that we have started about 200 Bala Samskar Kendras in eight States in India – Assam, Telangana, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu - to teach about the richness of Hinduism, Hindu festivals, Hindu ethos, Hindu History, and culture and traditions. Our children learn the richness of our culture through various scriptures and the timeless wisdom they hold.  Our students will learn how Hindus conceive the abstract concept of God, including their physical features and divine qualities. We talk about the characteristics of Lord Rama, his attributes, his behavior, and the qualities that we can emulate. Many of our Gods are incarnated at different times, and we try to explain different Avataras and the purpose of incarnating at a particular time.
Remember Sri Prabhupada’s Contribution
Prabhupada sailed to the USA in 1965. No religious organization sponsored his trip to the United States, nor did a group of loyal followers meet him upon arrival. As he neared his destination aboard the Indian freighter Jaladuta, the enormity of his intended task weighed on him. On September 13 he wrote in his diary, "Today I have disclosed my mind to my companion, Lord Sri Krishna." On this occasion and on a few others, Prabhupada called on Krishna for help in his native Bengali. Examining these compositions, academics regard them as "intimate records of his prayerful preparation for what lay ahead" and a view on "how Bhaktivedanta Swami understood his own identity and mission.”
I do not know why You have brought me here. Now you can do whatever You like with me. But I guess you have some business here; otherwise, why would You bring me to this terrible place? How will I make them understand this message of Krishna consciousness? I am very unfortunate, unqualified, and mostly fallen. Therefore, I am seeking Your benediction so that I can convince them, for I am powerless to do so on my own.
By journeying to America, he was attempting to fulfill his guru's wish, possible only by the grace of "his dear Lord Krishna".[35] It is in July 1966 that "global missionary Vaishnavism" was brought to the West by Prabhupada, "the soul agent", founding the International Society for Krishna Consciousness in New York City. Prabhupada spent much of the last decade of his life building ISKCON. As the Society's leader, his personality and management drove much of ISKCON's growth and the reach of his mission.
When it was suggested to Bhaktivedanta Swami at the time of founding the International Society for Krishna Consciousness in 1966 that a broader term, "God Consciousness," would be preferable to "Krishna Consciousness" in the title, he rejected this recommendation, suggesting that the name Krishna includes all other forms and concepts of God.
After a group of devotees and a temple were established in New York, another center opened in San Francisco in 1967. From here, Prabhupada traveled throughout America with his disciples, popularizing the movement through street chanting (sankirtana), book distribution, and public speeches.
By 1977, Prabhupada had opened 108 worldwide temples, including one dedicated to Krishna-Balarama (pictured above) in Vrindavana, India. Once ISKCON was more established in America, a small number of devotees from the San Francisco temple were sent to London, England. After a short time in London, they met The Beatles, of whom George Harrison took the greatest interest, spending significant time speaking with Prabhupada and producing a record with members of the later London Radha Krishna Temple. Over the following years, Prabhupada's continuing leadership role took him around the world several times, setting up temples and communities on all major continents. By the time of his death in Vrindavan eleven years later, in 1977, ISKCON had become a widely known expression of Vaishnavism internationally.
In the twelve years from his arrival in New York until his final days, he circled the globe fourteen times on lecture tours that took him to six continents, initiated many disciples, and awarded sannyasa and babaji initiations. He also introduced Vedic gurukul education to a Western audience; directed the founding of the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, which claims to be the world's largest publisher of ancient and classical Vaishnava religious texts,  founded the religious colony New Vrindavan in West Virginia, authored more than eighty books (with many available online on Vedantic philosophy, religion, literature and culture (including four published originally in Bengali) introduced international celebrations in the capitals of the world like that of Jagannatha processions watched ISKCON grow to a confederation of more than 108 temples, various institutes and farm communities
Prabhupada designed the original ISKCON logo before his death in 1977.

Through his mission, Prabhupada followed and communicated the teachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and introduced bhakti yoga to an international audience. Within Gaudiya Vaishnavism, this was viewed as the fulfillment of a long-time mission to introduce Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's teachings to the world.
A Summary of Srila Prabhupada’s Miraculous Accomplishments from 1965 to 1977
•    In 1965, at seventy years of age, he ventured outside India for the first time to fulfill the order of his spiritual master. During his voyage at sea, he suffered two severe heart attacks. He reached the shores of America with the equivalent of seven dollars to his name.
•    He founded the International Society for Krsna Consciousness with a small group of disciples, after a year of struggling alone in New York City. This marked the only time in history that a Krishna devotee successfully trained non-Indians in the strict disciplines of Vaishnavism. Amazingly, this was achieved during the blossoming of America’s hedonistic counterculture movement.
•    He sent his followers, chanting the names of God, into the streets of cities and towns everywhere, and Hare Krishna became famous in every corner of the earth.
•    He sent his disciples to London, where they recorded the single, “Hare Krishna Mantra”, with George Harrison, in 1969. It became the fastest selling of all the Apple Corporation’s releases, including those of the Beatles. The record reached #3 in Czechoslovakia, #9 in Britain, and made the top ten in Germany, Japan, Australia, South Africa, Yugoslavia, and many other countries.
•    He formally initiated approximately five thousand disciples. These initiates represented a sweeping diversity of nationalities, races, ethnicities, and religious backgrounds.
•    He established 108 Krishna temples on six continents, installed the deity of Krishna in each center, and trained his disciples in the process of deity worship. Thirty-two new temples (almost three a month) were opened in a single year, between 1970 and 1971.
•    He inaugurated the Rathayatra Festival of Lord Jagannath in major cities around the globe, in effect bringing the temple to the people.
•    He instituted the Brahmacharini Ashram, something previously unheard of in Vedic culture, to give shelter to single women wishing to practice Krishna consciousness.
•    He instructed his disciples in 1967 to start an incense business to provide financial support for the temples. Within four years, the business, Spiritual Sky Incense, generated an annual revenue of one million dollars (equivalent to $4,600,000 in 2004).
•    He introduced the “Sunday Love Feast” and other prasadam (sanctified food) distribution programs that provided millions of free meals to the public.
•    He created the world’s first chain of vegetarian restaurants.
•    He spoke daily on the philosophy of Krishna consciousness, delivering thousands of formal lectures. Over 2,200 were recorded and archived.
•    He conducted many hundreds of informal conversations on the science of Krishna consciousness with disciples, guests, and friends. Over 1,300 were recorded and archived.
•    He had scores of interviews and philosophical discussions with news reporters, scientists, religious leaders and politicians, as well as meetings with world-renowned dignitaries and celebrities like Indira Gandhi, Allen Ginsberg, Ravi Shankar, Alice Coltrane, John Lennon and George Harrison.
•    He recorded more than twenty albums of devotional music.
•    He founded the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust (BBT) in 1972 to produce his books. By 1976, the BBT had published over 55,000,000 copies in twenty-five languages and distributed them in almost every country, making it the world’s largest publisher of Indian religious and philosophical texts. One printing alone of the “Bhagavad-Gita As It Is” required seventy-six train cars to ship the paper needed to print it.
