A recent “behind the scenes” video published by NDTV showcased one of the ISKCON Krishna Balaram Mandir’s most important services, distributing prasadam to the thousands of pilgrims who visit this iconic temple in Vrindavan. Inspired by the teachings of ISKCON’s Founder-Acharya A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who described ISKCON as “the kitchen religion.”
