ISKCON Zagreb exists to make bhakti-yoga and spiritual life accessible in a way that is faithful to the tradition, understandable to people today and open to everyone who sincerely seeks deeper meaning.
Our mission is to share spiritual knowledge and the practice of bhakti-yoga through kīrtan, lectures, books, prasādam, festivals, personal guidance and opportunities for service. We want people in Zagreb and Croatia to have a place where they can learn about Kṛṣṇa, ask questions and gradually develop their spiritual life.
Our vision is an open, living and spiritually strong community where people can deepen their relationship with Kṛṣṇa, support one another and apply spiritual principles in everyday life. We want to build a community that inspires, connects and provides space for sincere spiritual practice, service and inner transformation.
We value devotion, compassion, truthfulness, purity, simplicity, respect, cooperation and hospitality. We want these values to shape the way we speak, serve, learn, make decisions and welcome new visitors.
The temple is a place both for those who are visiting for the first time and for those who have been practicing spiritual life for years. We want to offer new visitors warmth, clarity and space for questions, while offering those who wish to go deeper guidance, community and opportunities for more serious practice and service.
Service is the heart of bhakti-yoga. It can be expressed in many ways: through cooking, cleaning, singing, teaching, welcoming guests, distributing books, helping with programs or offering quiet support behind the scenes. We believe that every sincere service has spiritual value and helps build the community.
