ISKCON Bahrain was started in the year 1981, with a handful of
members in a small house under the leadership of H.H. Jayapataka
Maharaja, a senior disciple of Srila Prabhupada.
It is a spiritual center in the Kingdom of Bahrain
where people of all caste, creed or colour can participate in
studying and understanding our timeless scriptures, sing, chant
and dance in glorifying Lord Sri Krishna. It also conducts many
social and cultural programmes that help identify and nurture
the talents of individuals in the community to be utilised in
the service of God and humanity.
ISKCON Bahrain is extremely grateful to the magnanimous rulers and people of the Kingdom of Bahrain for welcoming diverse culture and allowing peaceful practice in this beautiful island.
We are active participants of the ‘This is Bahrain’ event every year that showcases Bahrain’s unity in diversity. Being duly registered with the government, ISKCON Bahrain has cordial relations with the local authorities and citizens. It also maintains very friendly relations with communities of different faiths that peacefully co-exist as one big family in the Kingdom of Bahrain
