THE PRIDE OF INDIA PROJECT

Chairman's Message

Vrindavan is not an ordinary piece of land. It is as worshipable as Lord Krishna Himself. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of ISKCON, revealed the glories of Vrindavan across the globe, and it has become one of the most important places of pilgrimage. He also envisioned a skyscraper temple to be built for Sri Krishna in His divine abode. In pursuance of his desire, we conceptualised the Vrindavan Heritage Tower in the early 2000s. We inaugurated our first temple in Vrindavan in 2006.
As the years passed by, due to Lord Krishna's blessings, the scale of our project has grown exponentially, bringing our idea to life. Vrindavan Heritage Tower will rise to a height of 700 ft. and is poised to become a prominent cultural heritage tourism destination in India. Its architecture is inspired by two important ancient temples - Sri Madan Mohan Ji Mandir and Sri Govind Ji Mandir and aims to reflect the spirit of Vrindavan. The life, customs, practices, languages and festivals of this holy land form a unique culture, having developed over millennia based on revelations of the great saints. Our Pride of India project will significantly contribute towards preserving, presenting and promoting this rich culture and heritage.

Vrindavan Heritage Tower will also play a larger role in shaping the future of our nation through various welfare and development initiatives. Over the last two decades, our social intervention programs have greatly benefitted people in and around Vrindavan. We will ensure that our social outreach programs continue to touch those in need who are expectantly looking forward to our care and assistance.

I am happy to inform you that the South Wing (Phase 1) of the Vrindavan Heritage Tower cultural infrastructure project is set to be inaugurated this year. I thank all our donors, well-wishers, volunteers and devotees for their constant support and encouragement. I invite you to participate in this glorious project that is destined to leave a great legacy for generations to come.

Hare Krishna!
