ISKCON Centers – Your Spiritual Home at ISKCON Whitefield
Welcome to ISKCON Whitefield, one of the most dynamic and spiritually enriching ISKCON centers in India. Located in Bengaluru’s thriving eastern corridor, our temple is more than just a place of worship, it’s a sanctuary for the soul and a hub of timeless wisdom. Here, ancient Vedic teachings harmoniously blend with modern life, offering a path to inner peace, joy, and purpose. At ISKCON Whitefield, devotion is alive in every chant, class, festival, and act of service. As one of the prominent ISKCON centers, we aim to make spiritual learning accessible, engaging, and transformative for people from all walks of life. Whether you seek inner calm at our ISKCON meditation centre, wish to study the Bhagavad-gita, participate in vibrant festivals, or simply soak in the serenity of the temple, our doors are always open. Part of the worldwide ISKCON movement founded by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, our temple carries forward the mission of spreading Krishna consciousness with love and compassion. Whether you’re seeking inner peace, cultural enrichment, guidance on spiritual practice, or opportunities to serve, ISKCON Whitefield welcomes you warmly.
ISKCON Centers – Where Tradition Meets Modern Spiritual Needs
Globally, ISKCON centers serve as guiding lights, helping thousands lead lives of balance, compassion, and higher purpose. ISKCON Whitefield stays true to the teachings of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada while addressing the spiritual needs of today’s urban seekers.
Our community outreach extends beyond the temple, reaching Marathahalli, Hoodi, Kadugodi, Panathur, Sarjapur, and surrounding areas along the Eastern Ring Road. Just like other ISKCON centers, we bring together devotion, knowledge, and service, combining traditional wisdom with practical guidance for daily life.

The ISKCON Whitefield Experience – Beyond a Temple
As one of Bengaluru’s thriving ISKCON centers, we aim to offer visitors more than rituals; we provide a spiritual journey:
- A Serene Spiritual Ambience
Our temple is a peaceful retreat, filled with sacred chants, the fragrance of incense, and a welcoming congregation. - ISKCON Meditation Centre – Finding Inner Peace
Our ISKCON meditation centre offers mantra meditation, a powerful practice to calm the mind and awaken the heart’s natural love for God. Guided sessions ensure newcomers experience the full depth of this spiritual practice. - Learning Through Sacred Wisdom
We offer Gita courses, Bhakti Steps programs, and workshops that present timeless Vedic knowledge in a practical, relatable way. - Festivals That Celebrate Life
