When Srila Prabhupada first
incorporated ISKCON, in 1966, he gave it seven purposes:
1) To systematically propagate
spiritual knowledge to society at large and to educate all
peoples in the techniques of spiritual life in order to check
the imbalance of values in life and to achieve real unity and
peace in the world.
2 )To propagate a consciousness of
Krishna, as it is revealed in the Bhagavad-gita and the
Srimad-Bhagavatam.
3) To bring the members of the
Society together with each other and nearer to Krishna, the
prime entity, thus to develop the idea within the members, and
humanity at large, that each soul is part and parcel of the
quality of Godhead (Krishna).
4) To teach and encourage the
sankirtana movement, congregational chanting of the holy names
of God as revealed in the teachings of Lord Sri Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu.
5) To erect for the members, and for
society at large, a holy place of transcendental pastimes,
dedicated to the personality of Krishna.
6) To bring the members closer
together for the purpose of teaching a simpler and more natural
way of life.
7) With a view towards achieving the
aforementioned purposes, to publish and distribute periodicals,
magazines, books and other writings.
