About Us
ISKCON North Kent is a community of devotees of Krishna, practising the eternal process of Bhakti Yoga (Krishna Conciousness), which involves Mantra Meditation, developing our Spiritual knowledge gained from the Vedic scriptures of ancient India such as Bhagavad Gita, translated from the Sanskrit language by our Guru A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, taking “Prasadam” (spiritual.. Karma free food) and helping others to discover and enjoy this transcendental process.
We hold regular programs in Rochester and occasionally surrounding area.. all are welcome regardless of age, gender religious and cultural backgrounds and beliefs.

Japa.
Bhakti yoga Meditation is performed by chanting the Hare Krishna mantra softly to oneself whilst using beads to aid concentration and count the number of recitations. This is called Japa. While chanting, one generally keeps the sacred Japa beads in a bead bag to keep them clean and off the floor.
Kirtan.
Kirtan is the call-and-response form of chanting that typifies the Hare Krishna movement; it is the congregational singing of spiritually uplifting songs, prayers, or the sacred names of the Supreme Being. Kirtan is the most powerful means of meditation to invoke the inner beauty of one’s own identity in relation to the Supreme.
The Effects.
This Mantra has the power to dissolve our bad habits and negative emotions. By chanting or listening to the Mantra, you become free from all anxiety and inner fears. When we chant the Hare Krishna Mantra, we start to clear the impure consciousness, that keeps us unhappy and removed from our true self. This mantra connects us to that higher energy and helps us to break away from the cycle of Karma and attachment to the physical world.
