The Abhay Tirtha, a project of ISKCON Newtown Kolkata, is dedicated to fulfilling Srila Prabhupada’s desire for a grand temple in his birthplace, Calcutta. Spread across 25 acres, it envisions not only a magnificent temple but also a vibrant spiritual township with a goshala, Bhaktivedanta hospital, educational institutions, cultural exhibitions, and residential spaces. Designed as a lasting tribute to Srila Prabhupada, Abhay Tirtha invites devotees to contribute and become members of this sacred mission, ensuring their devotion becomes an eternal part of his legacy.
Abhay Tirtha is a sacred project dedicated to creating a spiritual sanctuary where souls can connect with the Lord, experience peace, and be uplifted through devotion. By contributing to this divine cause, devotees can become valued members of ISKCON Newtown. Each contribution will be honored with your name placed within the temple, making your devotion an eternal part of this holy abode. Together, we can build not just a temple, but a timeless legacy of love and faith.
“We shall open a very gorgeous branch in Calcutta. Calcutta is my birth-place, so all of you as my disciples do something unique in Calcutta. That will be fitting service to your spiritual master”
