Bring Krishna Back Home to Wellington!

For decades, ISKCON Wellington has been a spiritual home for thousands - alive with kirtans, discourses, prasadam, and loving devotional association. Sadly, due to serious structural and legal issues, our temple premises were deemed unfit for service and have remained closed for darshan since June 2024. The temple fell silent, and the community was left without a sacred space to gather around Krishna.

Yet Krishna had a greater plan.

By His mercy and the tireless efforts of devotees, ISKCON Wellington has now purchased a new property, received full resource consent from the local council to operate it as a place of worship, and raised $2.5 million toward settlement scheduled for the first week of March 2026.

We now stand at the most crucial step.

To transform this building into a proper temple for Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, we urgently need $750,000 to complete essential renovations — including the altar, deity rooms, temple hall, kitchen, and facilities needed to resume darshan, kirtan, festivals, and spiritual education.

The scriptures glorify this service: “One who builds a temple for Vishnu is freed from all sinful reactions and enters Vaikuntha.” - Narasimha Purana

This is not merely a building project. It is an opportunity to help re-establish Krishna consciousness in Wellington for generations to come.

We humbly invite you to become part of this sacred effort. Your contribution, large or small, will help reopen Krishna’s doors and allow His mercy to flow once again.
