About Us

Inspired by the teachings and personal example of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of ISKCON, we live together in devotion, simplicity, and spiritual service.

What Makes Us Unique

Rooted in Eternal Wisdom
Srila Prabhupada’s teachings are drawn directly from the Vedic scriptures, the most ancient spiritual texts known to humanity — including the Bhagavad-gītā, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, the Upaniṣads and others. These sacred writings offer priceless guidance on the nature of the soul, the ultimate purpose of life, and how to steadily traverse the path back to Godhead.

Through his books, lectures, personal example, and commentaries on these ancient Vedic texts Srila Prabhupada made this ancient knowledge accessible and relevant to the modern world, without changing its essence even minutely.

Dedicated to Cow Protection
In line with Vedic values, we offer loving care and protection to cows — seen not only as valuable sacred animals on account of their contribution to humanity in the form of milk and milk products, but as mothers of humanity. Nearly everyone grows up drinking her milk to nourish mind and body. Cow protection is a central part of a Krishna conscious spiritual lifestyle. For information please call: 336-339-3070

Community & Festivals
We host joyous festivals, daily temple worship, enlightening educational seminars, sacred gatherings, and celebrations that nourish the soul and bring the community together in love and devotion. For Temple schedules and festivals call the Temple number: 336-593-2322

Outreach in North Carolina & Virginia
