This site is being developed in phases following a planning and
consultation period of over a year. During this time we defined
a vision for the website. The present site is the culmination of
Phase One and is designed to cover some basic material and design
ideas. New material is being prepared all the time and will be added
to the site as it is produced. At the same time discussion and planning
for Phase Two of the site is continuing.
Website goals
www.iskcon.com is being developed under the direction of Mukunda
Maharaja, Anuttama Dasa, and Saunaka Rsi Dasa. We are also working
in co-operation with BBT and BTG (www.krsna.com)

on the internet.
The primary goals of iskcon.com are to:
- Be the official website for ISKCON
- Present a comprehensive coverage of all aspects of ISKCON
- Present major establishments, projects, people and activities
- Provide reference material for government, education, academia
and the media
- Provide authoritative information to interested parties, devotees
and friends
