98 Culture & Dharma – Matchless Gifts: Where ISKCON and Swami Prabhupada Took Root
On a recent trip to Manhattan I wanted to visit where ISKCON was born, aka the very first ISKCON temple & former home of Swami Prabhupada. The birthplace of the Hare Krishna movement in America. I'm not part of ISKCON & routinely confess a love/hate relationship with Swamiji & the organization, but only a fool would deny the influence of Srila Prabhupada & ISKCON on religion in the west & the world & Sanatana Dharma globally. I think he is one of the most influential gurus of the last century, whose influence will be felt for a long time. This temple should be marked as a historical site, as its influence is likely greater than other historical sites in NYC.

📣I should mention that a few events are held in the Temple weekly, according to their website, but as a casual visitor looking in the windows there was no life there, no promotion of Krishna Consciousness, not even a part-time gift shop, just a temple preserved in silence afraid to speak. I was expecting so much more. ... Only after coming home, did I find there was a second center in town the "Bhakti Center" that is more active and keeping the work alive https://bhakticenter.org/. Yet, my closing questions in the video still remain relevant.

For seekers who’ve outgrown spiritual fluff.
This isn’t about trends, vibes, or blind devotion. This is real talk for real seekers.
🎙️ Each episode is part of a larger journey. This isn’t random content—it’s a structured path into deeper truth, not easy comfort.
I’m Premanand Das Bhagat (Aaron Joy), in Portland, Maine, USA.
I followed the so-called spiritual path—believed everything and anything, joined a cult, and ran in circles. Through honest effort, deep unlearning, and painful self-awareness, I found clarity in Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism).
Now, I speak to those who feel the same disillusionment.
If you believe in asking questions, rejecting lazy universalism, and using logic and scripture together to navigate this chaotic world—you’re in the right place.
🕉️ I'm a Integral Vedic Counselor, Certified Spiritual Life Coach and Ayurveda Specialist. I'm a student of Dr. David Frawley and devotee of Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya, following the non-Advaita, non-Universalist Vaishnava lineage of Ramanuja. My spiritual name was a gift from Dr. Chaturbhai Babaria (Swaminarayan Gurukul USA).
