Temple
New Mayapur was founded in 1975 by Sri Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Acharya-Founder of ISKCON. It houses the only Krishna-Balarama murtis installed by Srila Prabhupada in the Western world.
Ahimsa Farm
New Mayapur was established in 1975 by Sri Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder of ISKCON. It is home to the first Krishna-Balarama deities ever installed in the Western world.
Our Events
Although we are open all week, our Open House Sundays are especially designed to give you a first taste of what New Mayapur has to offer! For a deeper experience, stay over for a Discovery Week-End or a Monk Week.
Volunteer
Visit our cruelty-free farm! Our cows and goats are cared for with love all throughout their lives, until their natural death. Ahimsa, or non-violence, is an essential part of Vedic culture.
How to Come
New Mayapur is situated in a haven of peace, amongst the forests and fields of Indre, in the center of France. As such, it can be sometimes a little hard to reach, especially when coming from abroad. Find out how to come right here.
