ISKCON Connection Hopes to Bring International Family Together

New website iskconconnection.org hopes to get an accurate count of all ISKCON members for the first time ever, and to help them feel part of an international family by connecting them to all the inspirational activities in ISKCON around the world.

The website is the face of ISKCON Connection, ISKCON’s global membership program, developed by the GBC and based at ISKCON’s headquarters in Mayapur, West Bengal.

“We’re inviting all devotees, well-wishers and friends of Krishna to stand up and be counted as part of our spiritual family,” says team-leader Praharana Dasi. “This is important because we have no idea how many of us there are in the world – we just have guesses.”

By making this call to action, Praharana explains, ISKCON Connection is expecting to generate a database with millions of members around the world.

“This will give us more credibility with governments, legal entities and in marketing and promoting events,” she says. “Each ISKCON center will also regularly receive updates on membership statistics for their local area and country, which will help their local efforts.”
