Sri Sri Krishna Balaram Mandir - A Divine Sanctuary in the Land of Krishna
Discover Our StoryKrishna consciousness is not something artificial imposed upon the mind. It is the original, natural condition of every individual soul.
When we're covered by maya (illusion), we forget who we are and our eternal relationship with the Supreme. Krishna consciousness is the process of reawakening our dormant love for God and returning to our natural state of eternal, blissful spiritual happiness.
Krishna consciousness addresses the root cause of all anxiety by reconnecting us with our eternal spiritual identity, bringing immediate relief from material distress and establishing lasting inner peace.
Unlike temporary material pleasures, Krishna consciousness provides access to boundless transcendental happiness that increases with practice and never diminishes.
