ISKCON Whitefield Bhakti Center is an extension of ISKCON Sri Narasimha Giridhari Mandir, situated at HBR Layout, Bangalore. The center is functioning since 2017 but Janmashtami and preaching activities are happening since 2011. All our activities are centered around a program called Gita Course which is designed to attract newcomers and which gradually takes people into Bhakti Vriksha.
