The human life is meant for ending the miseries of material existence. Our present-day society is trying to do so by material progress. However, in spite of the extensive material progress, the human society is not in peaceful condition.

ord. The International Society for Krishna Consciousness movement (ISKCON) aims at awakening love of God within the heart of everyone and reviving their eternal relationship with God. The Krsna consciousness movement is also known as the sankirtana movement, the movement for spreading the chanting of the Hare Krsna mantra. Superficially, this chanting may appear to be the repetition of some ordinary words, but it is not. It requires a little practice to experience its effect. The effect of chanting Hare Krsna is stated by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu: ceto-darpana-majanam. “It will cleanse your heart.” If we go on chanting the Hare Krsna mantra, gradually the dirty things accumulated within our heart will be cleansed away. The Krsna consciousness movement is genuine, historically authorized, natural and transcendental due to its being based on Bhagavad-gita As It Is. The knowledge of Krsna Consciousness has been transmitted through an unbroken chain of teachers and students stemming from the Lord Himself, and has been presented in its original unadulterated form by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. It is gradually becoming the most popular movement in the entire world, with more than 600 worldwide centers and literature in as many as 70 languages.
