India Heritage Foundation Boston is a spiritual, cultural and education center dedicated to His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada. Inspired by the teachings of Srila Prabhupada, we aim to provide an opportunity for people in general to lead a life of happiness, peace of mind and good health.The ‘Hare Krishna Movement’ is the informal name of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), and has its roots in the ancient teachings of the ‘Vedas’, which are historical philosophical treatises dating back to over 5,000 years. The Vedas are also the source of many eastern religions and traditions including the popular doctrine of yoga. The followers of the Hare Krishna movement, popularly known as the ‘Hare Krishnas’ follow a specific form of yoga called ‘bhakti yoga’, or the yoga of love and devotion towards the divine personality of God, famously known as Krishna. The movement was brought to the western world in 1965 by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, known lovingly by the followers of the movement as ‘Srila Prabhupada’.The roots of the Hare Krishna philosophy trace back 5,000 years when one of the oldest and most profound books of wisdom, the ‘Bhagavad Gita’ was spoken. It speaks about our essence being spiritual, and the body as being a temporary covering based on our desires and ‘karma’. As our desires change in this life and beyond, our body also changes to accommodate those desires, and our actions accumulate karma. In this way, we navigate through this world in various bodies over many lifetimes until we become aware of our true spiritual identity, and begin our journey to the spiritual world.
