The years 2026 and 2027 mark a significant milestone for the International Society for Krishna Consciousness—60 years since its founding and 50 years since the disappearance of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda. These years provide an important opportunity not only for commemoration, but for collective reflection, recommitment, and purposeful action.
The Indian Continental Committee (ICC) 60–50 Committee in India has been constituted to guide this national observance with a clear objective: to deepen Prabhupāda consciousness across the movement while strengthening ISKCON’s spiritual and institutional foundations. The emphasis is on ensuring that remembrance leads to lasting outcomes rather than remaining limited to ceremonial observances.
The 60–50 period is envisioned as a phase of conscious alignment and purposeful engagement across ISKCON in India. Temples and centers are encouraged to systematically focus on Śrīla Prabhupāda’s teachings, instructions, and life, while strengthening Bhāgavatam culture, devotional standards, and Vaishnava conduct. The intent is to translate appreciation for the Founder-Ācārya into sustained spiritual focus, disciplined practice, and responsible service.
To enable nationwide participation, the ICC is adopting an empowering approach. Temples are requested to appoint a local 60–50 coordinator to facilitate planning, implementation, reporting, and communication with the ICC, ensuring coherence of vision while respecting local contexts.
The initiative also actively encourages movement-wide engagement, inviting devotees and well-wishers to contribute through time, skills, professional expertise, creativity, and voluntary service. In parallel, this period is being used for institutional strengthening, including improved coordination, documentation, and leadership alignment.
The aspiration is that 2026–2027 serve as a conscious turning point, where gratitude matures into responsibility and commemoration evolves into a living, enduring legacy of service to Śrīla Prabhupāda and his mission in India.
