ICC Forms 60–50 Committee to Guide ISKCON India’s 2026–27 Focus
The years 2026 and 2027 mark a significant milestone for the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON)—sixty years since its founding and fifty years since the disappearance of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda. These years offer an important opportunity not only for commemoration, but also for collective reflection, recommitment, and purposeful action.
To guide this national observance in India, the Indian Continental Committee (ICC) 60–50 Committee has been constituted with a clear objective: to deepen Prabhupāda consciousness across the movement while strengthening ISKCON’s spiritual and institutional foundations. The emphasis is on ensuring that remembrance leads to meaningful and lasting outcomes, rather than remaining limited to ceremonial observances.
The 60–50 period is envisioned as a phase of conscious alignment and purposeful engagement across ISKCON in India. Temples and centers are encouraged to systematically focus on Śrīla Prabhupāda’s teachings, instructions, and life, while strengthening Śrīmad Bhāgavatam culture, devotional standards, and Vaishnava conduct.
The intent is to translate appreciation for the Founder-Ācārya into sustained spiritual focus, disciplined practice, and responsible service.
To enable nationwide participation, the ICC is adopting an empowering and decentralized approach. Temples are requested to appoint a local 60–50 coordinator to facilitate planning, implementation, reporting, and communication with the ICC. This structure ensures coherence of vision while respecting local circumstances and initiatives.
The initiative also actively encourages movement-wide engagement, inviting devotees and well-wishers to contribute through their time, skills, professional expertise, creativity, and voluntary service. In parallel, this period is being used to strengthen institutional systems, including improved coordination, documentation, and alignment of leadership.
The aspiration is that 2026–2027 serve as a conscious turning point for ISKCON in India—where gratitude matures into responsibility, and commemoration evolves into a living, enduring legacy of service to Śrīla Prabhupāda and his mission.
