Culture Matters, What is ISKCON? - Incompatibility with ISKCON

[Guest guest]

JOURNEY TO THE PACIFIC RIM...

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada traveled from India to

the United States in 1965 and, the following year, established the

International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). Ths movement,

dedicated to non-sectarian God consciousness, attracted legions, especially

young people, who were dissatisfied with modem western culture. One such

person was William Berke (Bali Mardan das), who took Prabhupada’s teachings

and mission to heart. On Prabhupada’s order, Bali Mardan brought the

timeless teachings to other lands—Malaysia, Fiji, Japan, Australia. Journey

to the Pacific Rim tells the exciting story of Bali Mardan’s missionary

adventure, bringing a profound philosophy and culture — still new even to

him! — around the world.
