Association is so important in bhakti. Practicing alone can be difficult. Our minds wander, our enthusiasm rises and falls. That is why we need each other. You are not alone on this journey.
Let’s come together to chant together, grow together, and inspire one another to go deeper in our love for Krishna.
🌙 Evening Online Sangas

Testimonials & Transformations
It all began in 2020 during the Covid lockdown, when devotees around the world were isolated at home. At that time, HH Jayapataka Swami Maharaja encouraged everyone to observe Purusottama Month together.
That was when the idea of the Purusottama Challenge was born — our very first Bhakti Kids Challenge. The first Purusottama Challenge in ISKCON.
We expected maybe 50… perhaps 100 participants. But within days, more than 3,500 devotees from around the world had joined — children, youth, adults, and newcomers.
What happened next was extraordinary.
- • Lives were transformed
- • Many began chanting for the very first time
- • Many children were deeply inspired to take their bhakti seriously.
- • Many joined our ISKCON family.
This is the power of Purusottama Month.

💬 What Participants Are Saying
“Unfortunately this Purusottama month is going to end. I'm going to burn out of separation for 3 years and then I could attend all of these Purusottama challenge sangas again.”
Chiranjeevi - 11 years old
“We did a lot of chanting. Actually we doubled the chanting we used to do earlier and I wore kanthi mala and I started applying vashnav tilak and I am so much happy by growing in Krishna consciousness and all of my friends and family members who are engaged in this challenge are so happy. Please bring more and more challenges like this so that we can grow in Krishna consciousness!”
Kashish Aswani - 15 years old
“The best part of my Purusottama challenge was all of it! It was so fun to do everything and explore! There was so much fun things to do such as waving a fan to Krishna and offering lamps. It was all so fun just to do everything and experience Krishna’s life. So the Purusottama challenge was great to me! ”
Maruti Dhvaya - 5 years old
“Hi, I am Vikyath Ande from Bloomington, USA. I am so glad I got to know about the Purusottama challenge because it has impacted my entire life. It has changed my plans for the future. It really did spark my love for Krishna. I am also chanting japa now. I just wanted to say thank you for sparking this lasting love of Krishna!””
Vikyath Ande - 12 years old
“Since childhood, I have never indulged in intoxication, gambling or illicit relationships but I was unable to give up eating non-vegetarian food. This Baishak Month Challenge is a golden opportunity for me to give up non-vegetarian food.”
Koushik
“I actually joined Krishna consciousness recently only. I am just 1 year old into it. Honestly this has changed my life. I could understand many, many things that I was not aware of for the past 40 years of my life. Thank you everyone for giving me an opportunity to participate in Bhisma Panchaka. This really transformed me and made me more approachable to Krishna consciousness. These 5 days have intensified my inner hunger to reach to Krishna which has converted my desire to spend more and more time in bhakti. That is the difference it has brought into my life. ”

We are extremely grateful for any contribution you wish to give, even if you can only give ₹1. Every offering supports this service and helps us continue reaching more hearts.
