By Dr. Nitai Madhav Das,
The years 2026 and 2027 mark a significant milestone for the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) —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 Srimad 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.
