‘A photograph speaks louder than a 1000 words’
And it is your chance to tell a story.
We are delighted to inform you that 2016 marks the golden jubilee of incorporation of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). Over the past 50 momentous years ISKCON has nurtured human society through spiritual education and training. At present there is an international network of 600 spiritual universities in 75 countries all over the globe.
Members of ISKCON practice Bhakti-yoga or Krishna Consciousness in their homes and also worship in temples. They also promote Bhakti-yoga through festivals, the performing arts, yoga seminars, public chanting and the distribution of Vedic literatures. ISKCON members have also opened hospitals, schools, colleges, eco-villages, free food distribution projects, and other institutions as a practical application of the path of devotional yoga.
To mark the magnanimous occasion of Sri Krishna Janamashtami ISKCON Punjabi Bagh temple is organizing a Photography Contest. The purpose of the contest is to not only capture the “Joy of Devotion” in a moment of photographic excellence but to share with the rest of the world the bliss which the artist experienced while clicking that hearty moment.

It can be an intimate moment of your personal life; or a communal celebration of all things spiritual; we are here to appreciate your devotion and multiply your joy. The Grand prize for the contest is a brand new DSLR CAMERA. There are many other prizes to be won for runners-up like power banks, bluetooth speakers, pen drives, smart watches etc. Selected photographs will be displayed in anexhibition to be hosted at ISKCON PUNJABI BAGH on 26th August 2016.
