Our founder
A. C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder-acarya of the International Society for
Krishna Consciousness was born in India in 1896. In 1966, in the USA he
established the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, commonly known
as the Hare Krishna Movement. His aim was to promote Krishna Consciousness
throughout the world.
In the next
eleven years Srila Prabhupada wrote over 50 books. His works include Bhagavad-gita
As It Is, the multi-volume Indian classic Srimad-Bhagavatam,
Caitanya-caritamrta, Nectar of Devotion, and Krishna: The Supreme
Personality of Godhead - to mention few. The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust,
established in 1972 to publish the works of His Divine Grace, has thus become
the world's largest publisher of books in the field of Indian religion and
philosophy.
Despite his
heavy literary schedule, Srila Prabhupada continued to tour the world to
benefit the people with the message of Krishna. In just twelve years, despite
his advanced age, he circled the globe fourteen times on lecture tours that
took him to six continents. He departed this world on November 14 1977.
In the short
time he spent in the west, he preached continuously, established 108 temples,
wrote more than sixty volumes of transcendental literature, initiated five
thousand disciples, founded the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, began a scientific
academy (the Bhaktivedanta Institute) and other trusts related to International
Society for Krishna Consciousness.

Please accept our humble obeisances!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
At the end of every year, after a month of intense but ecstatic
distribution of Srila Prabhupada’s books devotees gather at the feet of Sri Sri
Prahlad Nrisimhadeva (German farm) for the traditional Sankirtan Festival. This
year, we the servants of their Lordships are inviting you for four days of
kirtan, enlivening lectures and the association of advanced devotees. Prasadam
will be great too. We have several great cooks and HG Loka Saranga Prabhu will
be the chief.
This Deecember you will be able to hear: HH Smita Krsna Swami, HH Dayananda Swami, HG Madhusevita Prabhu (GBC and BBT Trustee of Italy), HG Dina Sharana Mataji, HG Prithu Prabhu, HG Tapas Prabhu (ISKCON Stockholm Temple President), HG Lilashuka Prabhu, HG Narakriti Prabhu (Temple President of ISKCON Prague).

Famous (but transcendental to all the fame) HG Vidya Vacaspati Prabhu will jazz-up the temple-room with his kirtans. Plus Simhacalam resident senior devotee HG Prithu Prabhu will inspire the assembled Vaisnavas with his bhajans and lectures. Motto of this year’s Festival is: „Spiritual life is real“.

Pizza Effect
Intercultural cooking workshop.
We will use
cooking workshops as a method to establish communication and promote healthy
lifestyle. Food will be used as a catalyst to encourage peer learning within
target groups of the adults, as well as intergenerational and intercultural
interaction. Each of the cooking lessons will include majority of ingredients
which are most often used in cuisines from different parts of Europe.
Food is integrating. It involves and appeals to all our senses. The topic was chosen because it creates a wide range of opportunities for possible activities and has the power to gather people to communicate and learn despite their age, nationality or social status. This is proven by the experience of humankind – throughout our history, commercial, religious, household cooking traditions have been established in every culture that have contributed to the relationships between people, promoting mutual enrichment, multiculturalism and tolerance.
Traditional recipes, usually visual in old “recipe-books” (what grandma knows) or handed down through oral tradition, promoted the dissemination of knowledge, beliefs and traditions that eventually contributed to the development of a culture and a common identity worldwide. In today’s society, where communication and knowledge are often produced in a static way, in front of a computer, TV or a book, this project stands to claim the acquisition of knowledge, values and attitudes through direct contact with the natural, social and cultural environment of food, throughout an active and participative methodology, where participants can experience healthy food by cooking, talking, eating and learning altogether.
We believe that this approach will bring a significant contribution to strengthening the international solidarity and enhancing intergenerational communication.
