Become a Life Member of ISKCON
The Life Membership facility is an opportunity to become part of ISKCON’s family. A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami introduced the Life Membership program in the early 70’s and invited citizens of Mumbai and across the world to reside in the temple for a couple of days, attend spiritual programs, and receive Krishna conscious association. Presently, more than 50,000 Life Members are part of ISKCON’s family.
