ISKCON Philadelphia’s Radha Krishna Temple has been part of the Mount Airy neighborhood since 1974, following ISKCON’s founding by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in 1966. Open to the public year-round, the temple holds daily evening worship, a Sunday morning program, and a well-attended Sunday “Love Feast” that combines arati, meditation, a discourse, and a free vegetarian feast. It also organizes the annual Philadelphia Ratha Yatra and observes the wider Gaudiya Vaishnava festival calendar, including Janmashtami, Dussehra, and Govardhana Puja.
