Sreekrishna is assuredly the most enchanting figure in human history. He reflects and represents every aspect and aspiration of humanity in its onward march. Immeasurable in nature and inconceivable in might, He remains an ever vibrant motivator in Indian ethos.

A centre devoted to informal and formal education on Sreekrishna’s life, teachings and actions would resurrect our value systems. It is in this perspective that Balagokulam has initiated steps to establish International Sreekrishna Kendram (ISK). This project is to be set up as a unit of Balasamskara Kendram Trust (Regd.).

Our Vision, Aims and objectives:

- We aim to establish an institution designed to portray Sreekrishna’s life, teachings and actions, in simple and lucid manner for any visitor (children, youth and adults – both from India abroad) to understand and assimilate the value systems propounded by Him and His all pervading nature.

- To act as a forum for people of all religions and nationalities to meet and understand the ideals of Sreekrishna.

- To function as a centre for education to children on Indian heritage, culture and spirituality.

- To showcase our cultural, customary and traditional values and practices as well as the various arts, crafts, fine arts, folk art dance forms etc. and much more.

- To cooperate and establish links with other like minded institutions in India and abroad with a view to bring together all working on the same goals.

- To create an eco-friendly atmosphere for visitors to ease out their mental tension and relax with a unique experience that they miss so dearly in their urban life.

- Overall village infrastructure development

Location of the project and the main features therein:

The ISK is a model Vrindavanam village coming up in central Kerala on the slopes of the Western Ghats, about 5 kms. off the Kochi-Thrissur Highway. The project comprises of about twenty-five main features as listed separately under “Project”.

The project schedule:

The project is scheduled to be completed in four phases. The first phase of land purchase, filling and fencing are in progress.

WE SEEK YOUR PATRONAGE through membership, donations and sponsorship. A project of this magnitude is possible only with the generous support of Sreekrishna devotees who greatly value His teachings and feel the necessity to spread the same and preserve our rich culture and heritage.

An executive committee elected by the ISK general body and Balasamskara kendra, will be in charge of the apex administration. Besides the chairman, general secretary and treasurer, the apex body will have three vice presidents with experience in administration and speciality subjects to co-ordinate the administrative requirements. The committee will also have expert members from various fields. There will also be an advisory body of eminent personalities in society to advise the executive committee on policy matters. The present executive committee functioning in the administrative office at Ernakulam will hold charge of the apex administrative functions until the elected executive committee as mentioned above assume office.
