Annual Report 2026
A year of spiritual growth, community service, and divine blessings
Spiritual Outreach & Education
In 2026, ISKCON Ghaziabad reached unprecedented heights in spreading Krishna consciousness across the region. We conducted over 500 spiritual programs, including weekly Bhagavad Gita classes, Sunday feast programs, and special festival celebrations that attracted thousands of devotees and seekers.
Our educational initiatives expanded significantly with the introduction of online courses on Vedic philosophy, reaching over 10,000 students globally. The Bhakti Vriksha program grew to include 75 groups across Ghaziabad and neighboring areas, fostering deep spiritual connections within communities.
Food for Life - Anna Daan Seva
Our Food for Life program achieved a remarkable milestone by serving over 1 crore (10 million) sanctified meals to those in need. This includes daily distributions at the temple, weekly programs in underprivileged areas, and special drives during festivals and emergencies.
The Anna Daan Seva not only nourished bodies but also touched hearts, spreading the message of compassion and selfless service. We partnered with local organizations and schools to ensure nutritious prasadam reached children and families who needed it most.
Gau Seva - Cow Protection
Our Goshala (cow shelter) now provides loving care to over 150 cows, ensuring their protection, health, and well-being. The facility was upgraded with modern veterinary care, improved shelter infrastructure, and organic farming practices that utilize cow products sustainably.
We served 12,150 cows throughout the year through our various cow protection initiatives, including mobile veterinary camps and fodder distribution programs in rural areas. The Gau Seva program has become a beacon of compassion and environmental consciousness.
Book Distribution & Literature
A historic achievement was reached with the distribution of over 50 lakh (5 million) books on Vedic philosophy, Bhagavad Gita, and Krishna consciousness. Our book distribution teams visited colleges, universities, corporate offices, and public spaces, sharing the timeless wisdom of the scriptures.
Special emphasis was placed on distributing Srila Prabhupada's books in Hindi and English, making spiritual knowledge accessible to people from all backgrounds. The digital library initiative also launched, providing free e-books and audiobooks to thousands of readers worldwide.
Environmental Initiatives
In alignment with Vedic principles of environmental stewardship, we planted 15,765 trees across Ghaziabad and surrounding regions. These plantation drives were conducted in collaboration with local authorities, schools, and environmental organizations.
Our temple campus became a model of sustainability with organic gardens, rainwater harvesting systems, and solar energy installations. The "Green Krishna Consciousness" initiative inspired devotees to adopt eco-friendly practices in their daily lives.
Festival Celebrations
The year 2026 witnessed grand celebrations of major Vaishnava festivals including Janmashtami, Gaura Purnima, Radhashtami, and Ratha Yatra. These festivals attracted over 100,000 visitors collectively, creating unforgettable spiritual experiences through kirtans, dramas, discourses, and prasadam distribution.
Special programs for children and youth were organized during festivals, including cultural performances, quiz competitions, and interactive sessions that helped younger generations connect with their spiritual heritage.
Community Development
Beyond spiritual activities, ISKCON Ghaziabad actively contributed to community development through skill development workshops, health camps, and educational support programs. We provided scholarships to 200 underprivileged students and organized free medical camps that served over 5,000 people.
The Devotee Care program was strengthened to provide counseling, support, and guidance to devotees facing personal challenges. This holistic approach to spiritual and material well-being has created a strong, caring community.
Looking Ahead
As we reflect on the achievements of 2026, we are filled with gratitude to Sri Sri Radha Madhav, Srila Prabhupada, and all the devotees whose dedication made this possible. The coming year promises even greater opportunities for service, with plans for temple expansion, new outreach programs, and enhanced facilities.
We invite you to be part of this divine journey. Your support, participation, and prayers are the foundation of all our endeavors. Together, we continue to spread love, compassion, and Krishna consciousness.
