ISKCON is ramping up for its mega 50th anniversary celebrations, with events to be held all over the world throughout the year 2016. These will commemorate the day Founder-Acharya Srila Prabhupada officially registered the society in New York on July 11th, 1966.

Bhagavad Gita is the greatest ever scripture on the earth.

The content and message in Bhagavad Gita through the own mouth of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is nothing but a great message to mankind.
