Vision

The ISKCON Ministry of Congregational Development – CDM – is a One Stop Shop for Krsna Conscious training. CDM facilitates the spiritual growth of individuals and communities within the spiritual, cultural, and educational guidelines set by ISKCON’s Founder-Acarya A.C.

Mission
We offer consultancy, education, and networking to assist the International Society for Krsna Consciousness to develop and expand its communities in accord with the following principles:

​

•  A deeply caring attitude for all members, according to their stage in life and their different levels of needs.

• Promoting the engagement of all devotees in outreach and their empowering in taking responsibility in the mission.

• Organizing all practitioners in small groups for intimate exchanges and the building of friendly relation; regular supervision and support.

• Temples as tirthas for inspiration and exemplary behavior; enthusing large gatherings and festivals.

• Ongoing systematic training and education.

To facilitate these objectives:
 

• We design and present courses.

• We produce, translate and circulate books, articles, supporting materials & audiovisuals.

• We assist in organizing festivals & conventions.

• We remain updated on innovations and trends from both inside and outside ISKCON.
