How to get inspiration to build a temple

The founder and Acharya of ISKCON, Shri Prabhupada ji with his western disciples during his visit to Vrindavan said that we have got a tendency to build skyscraper. As in your country, you do. So you should not connect with a skyscraper, but you can use the trend by building a big temple like a skyscraper for Krishna. In this way, you have to purify your physical activities.

- Srila Prabhupada's lecture in Vrindavan, 29 October 1972

Inspired by this vision and statement of Srila Prabhupada, the devotees or sages of ISKCON Bangalore conceived the Vrindavan Chandrodaya Mandir project to construct a skyscraper temple for Lord Sri Krishna.

The foundation stone ceremony of Chandrodaya Mandir in Mathura district was performed on 16 March 2014 on the auspicious occasion of Holi.
