Srila
Prabhupada gave a clear mission statement for ISKCON which is outlined
in the following seven points.
The Seven Purposes of ISKCON
- To systematically propagate spiritual knowledge to society at
large and to educate all people 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.
- To propagate a consciousness of Krishna (God), as it is revealed
in the great scriptures of India, Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam.
- To bring the members of the Society together with each other
and nearer to Krishna, the prime entity, thus developing the idea
within the members, and humanity at large, that each soul is part
and parcel of the quality of Godhead (Krishna).
- To teach and encourage the sankirtana movement, congregational
chanting of the holy name of God, as revealed in the teachings
of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
- To erect for the members and for society at large a holy place
of transcendental pastimes dedicated to the personality of Krishna.
- To bring the members closer together for the purpose of teaching
a simpler, more natural way of life.
- With a view towards achieving the aforementioned purposes, to
publish and distribute periodicals, magazines, books and other
writings.
