The Temple
New Mayapur was established in 1975 by Sri Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder of ISKCON. It is home to the first Krishna-Balarama deities ever installed in the Western world.
Ahimsa Farm
Visit our cruelty-free farm! Our cows and goats are cared for with love all throughout their lives, until their natural death. Ahimsa, or non-violence, is an essential part of Vedic culture.
Our Events
Although we are open all week, our Open House Sundays are especially designed to give you a first taste of what New Mayapur has to offer! For a deeper experience, stay over for a Discovery Week-End or a Monk Week.
Volunteer
What better way to travel, learn about different cultures, meet exciting new people and forge friendships than volunteering?
How to Come
New Mayapur is situated in a haven of peace, amongst the forests and fields of Indre, in the center of France. As such, it can be sometimes a little hard to reach, especially when coming from abroad. Find out how to come right here.
