ISKCON’s 1966 incorporation document set out seven purposes, including sharing spiritual knowledge, promoting Krishna consciousness and bringing people closer to one another and to God.
Other purposes concern teaching saṅkīrtana, establishing devotional places, encouraging simpler living and publishing books and periodicals.
These aims appear in everyday activities such as kīrtans, open classes, volunteering and book distribution. Visitors may learn gradually without undertaking obligations.
