A remarkable and unique mission

The Mission of ISKCON is to not only to establish the traditional and original  Varna Ashram which is a  social  and spiritual system based on utilising the Intelligentsia , who  come in the form of brahmanas and Vipras ,  traditionally their duty was to  direct and advise the administrative political class , who in turn were the   legislators for  social  ,economic and justice policies ,  the  original system of the Vedas  were based on quality of individuals as well as social mobility .

ISKCON simultaneously ,  is  introducing a system to bypass the whole  Varna Ashram system ,  by bringing  to the attention of the public , the perfection of it , namely immediate knowledge of one’s original superior Dharma, ( occupation) ,whatever ones current status , by different yoga systems that  link everyone with direct  trancendental service and realisations  of God ,

The origins of this mission that was  carried out by A.C.BHAKTIVEDANTA swami are  with the great spiritual and cultural reformer Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur , who actually surprisingly worked for a period of time for the British government as a high court judge .

Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur son , Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja elaborated further on his father’s mission, gave it  shape and directed his disciples to distribute these one could say ,( new testament) teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Rupa Goswami as well as Ragganatha das Goswami.

If one delves into the real history and origins of ISKCON one will find a rich literary culture as well as the epistemology of ISKCON
