ISKCON Kurukshetra stands at Jyotisar, the sacred spot in Kurukshetra where Lord Krishna spoke the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna more than 5,000 years ago. Srila Prabhupada, the founder of ISKCON, visited Kurukshetra in 1975 and envisioned a centre here that would carry the Gita’s message to the world. In 2014, ISKCON was awarded six acres of land at Jyotisar, and the main temple block structure was completed in 2021. The grand Sri Krsna Arjuna Mandir, built in the shape of a chariot, is now taking form, with its opening proposed for 2027–28.

Devotees can also offer Bhoga, Aarti and Vigraha Seva online from anywhere in the world.

Over the years, it has distributed more than one million meals, shared over 25,000 copies of the Bhag
