This website provide basic information on us who try to become devotees of the Supreme Lord. I recommend you to visit any of our ISKCON centers and speak with devotees.The chanting and drumming you witnessed is called harinama, the traditional public glorification of Lord Krishna by chanting of His holy names. Along with teaching Vedic knowledge and spreading the chanting of the Lord's holy names, ISKCON also freely distributes spiritual food throughout the world.

In the modern age, people are so uneducated that they cannot understand that the body is changing at every moment and that the ultimate change is called death. In this life one may be a king, and in the next life one may be a dog, according to karma. You can get to know Who am I ? Where do I come from? Why should I die ? Does God exist ? Who is God? How to attain complete freedom from all miseries? ISKCON conducts many programs for students including seminars and full-time courses. The students appreciate Vedic wisdom and Srila Prabhupada's teachings. Many students have applied the teachings of Bhagavad-gita in their lives even while continuing their studies. ISKCON also organizes Focus,Yoga Retreat Camps and Yoga for Happiness where students experience a spiritual life of high moral standards. All programs include chanting the Hare Krishna mahamantra and honoring prasadam.

The material world is simply a shadow of the spiritual world. So real life, real variety, real beauty, real knowledge, everything in reality is there in the spiritual world. This material world is only reflection. Just like if you create a clay doll, a very nice beautiful girl. But it is imitation. It is shadow of the real beautiful girl.
