ISKCON Pretoria – a spiritual embassy in the land of material embassies, is dedicated to preaching the message of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His pure devotee Srila Prabhupada. Located near the heart of Pretoria, the centre facilitates many University students from the University of Pretoria , Tshwane University of Technology and the University of South Africa with a sanctum from their stressful studies. After the daily morning programs, the resident devotees go out distributing Srila Prabhupada’s books on India’s ancient Vedic wisdom and performing other preaching activities. Melodious bhajans (devotional songs) take place every evening and there is a strong focus on spiritual development.
