Kanpur Devotees Visit NKD Community: A Joyful Exchange of Devotion and Inspiration


A group of around 60 enthusiastic devotees from Kanpur recently visited the NKD (Nitya Krishna Das) community in a spirit of spiritual camaraderie and learning. The group was led by HG Prem Harinaam Prabhuji, the President of ISKCON Kanpur, along with senior congregation leaders, making the visit deeply enriching for both the visitors and the hosts.


A special highlight of the group was the Chetana group, comprising young girls practicing Krishna consciousness in Kanpur under the able guidance of Padmakshi Haripriya Mataji. Their presence added a vibrant, youthful energy to the day’s events.


The visitors were warmly welcomed and taken on a guided tour of the NKD community, which included visits to the Gurukul, Nature’s Store, the newly constructed Gurukul building, and finally, the beautiful Krishna Kutir where they had darshan of Sri Sri Radha Govind Dev. The serene atmosphere and the well-maintained facilities left a lasting impression on the guests.


HG Prem Harinaam Prabhuji personally addressed the children of the Gurukul, sharing words of encouragement and blessings. Later, HG Rukmini Jeevan Prabhuji addressed the visiting devotees and shared valuable insights on congregation development, a key aspect of expanding and nurturing spiritual communities.


The visit concluded with a sumptuous serving of prasadam, which was relished by all. The devotees expressed deep appreciation for the mood of surrender and commitment displayed by the NKD community towards the teachings and mission of Srila Prabhupada.


This visit served not only as a meaningful exchange between two spiritually aligned communities but also strengthened the bonds of devotional service, learning, and unity in Krishna consciousness.
