Aug 14th, 2025

ISKCON is delighted to share the latest developments on our upcoming state-of-the-art Mandir (temple) at our existing 9-acre compound in Burnaby. This new mandir will be a spiritual and cultural sanctuary, dedicated to the teachings of Lord Krishna and the vision of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. The Mandir will be a vibrant hub for spiritual growth, cultural celebration, and community engagement.

Rooted in the timeless wisdom of the Vedic tradition, it will offer a welcoming space for people of all backgrounds to experience the joy of bhakti-yoga (devotional service), kirtan (chanting), sacred rituals, ands piritual education.

Our vision is not only to build a place of worship but to create a community that nurtures the soul, fosters harmony, and promotes a way of life based on compassion, simplicity, and self-realization.
