Bring Krishna Back Home to Wellington!
Help ISKCON Wellington renovate its new temple and restore darshan, kirtan, and spiritual life for the community.
Wellington
For the first time in decades, Krishna has no temple in Wellington.
No darshan.
No kirtan.
No spiritual home.
Since the closure of our previous temple in 2024, devotees have been without a sacred place to gather, worship, and serve.
The absence has been deeply felt.
But by Krishna’s mercy, a new home has been secured.
A property has been purchased and approved as a place of worship.
$2.5 million has already been contributed by devotees worldwide.
Now, $750,000 is needed to complete renovations and reopen the temple.
🛕 Your contribution will help create:
* A sacred altar for darshan
* A temple hall for kirtan and festivals
* A kitchen for prasadam
* A space for youth, education, and community
This is more than a building.
This is Krishna’s home.
And wherever we are in the world…
this responsibility belongs to all of us.
⚡ Please act now
🙏 Donate today and help reopen Krishna’s doors.
Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer.
We are now trying to raise the next $100,000 in the coming weeks to keep the project moving forward.
