Hare Krishna! Welcome to ISKCON Portland, a spiritual center in the heart of Hillsboro!
ISKCON Hillsboro is home to a loving community of practicing Hare Krishna devotees and is dedicated to the practice of bhakti-yoga or loving service to Krishna, the Supreme Person (God). We are a branch of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), a worldwide spiritual movement founded by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, in New York City in 1966.
Join us in the bliss of Bhakti-Yoga, enlivened with festivals, free vegetarian food, mantra-meditation and spiritual discourses. In fact, there’s something for everyone – the kids, the youth, the families. Together, let’s enhance the spiritual dimension of our lives!
Our Founder
HIS DIVINE GRACE A.C. BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI PRABHUPADA
FOUNDER-ACHARYA : INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS
Srila Prabhupada (1896-1977), was an extraordinary personality who dedicated his life for teaching the world about Krishna consciousness, ancient India’s most noble message of spiritual wisdom. In 1965, at the age of 69, he sailed from India to New York to share Lord Krishna’s message, on the order of his spiritual master Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura, representing a line of teachers dating back to Lord Krishna Himself.
