ISKCON Ujjain

What ISKCON Ujjain does

ISKCON Ujjain, formally the Sri Sri Radha Madan Mohan Temple, is a nonprofit Vaishnava religious institution located in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, India, inaugurated in February 2006 by His Holiness Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaja. The temple operates under the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), a global movement founded in 1966 by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada that comprises over 350 temples, 60 rural communities, 50 schools, 60 restaurants, 10,000 temple devotees, and 250,000 congregational devotees. The Ujjain campus features five altars dedicated to Sri Sri Madan Mohan, Sri Sri Krishna Balaram, Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, Sri Sri Jagannath Baldeva Subhadra, and Sri Sri Prahladesh Nrisimha Dev Ji, with a daily schedule of aarti ceremonies, Bhagavatam classes, and Vaishnava calendar events including Ratha Yatra and Gundica Marjana.

The temple's service portfolio spans a goshala (Krishna Avanti Goshala) caring for approximately 450 cows daily across two locations, a 22-room marble guest house, Govinda's vegetarian restaurant, an Ayurvedic clinic (Arogya Niketan), the AIHE educational initiative, and a deity/murti manufacturing workshop that uses original moulds from Srila Prabhupada's disciple Lochan Prabhu to produce and ship deities worldwide. Revenue is generated primarily through donations via iskconujjaindonation.com, supplemented by guest house bookings, restaurant sales, goshala product sales (approximately $7,700 in yearly goshala donations), and international deity/murti orders delivered across the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, Russia, South Africa, Dubai, Singapore, and Malaysia. Outreach is conducted through the temple website, a WhatsApp Channel for daily darshan updates, and an online video gallery of aarti and Bhagavatam classes.
