New Mayapur

Grow on your inner journey.
The Temple
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.
Ahimsa Farm
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.
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
What better way to travel, learn about different cultures, meet exciting new people and forge friendships than volunteering?
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.
