Online Kitchen Survey

The Melbourne Hare Krishna Temple has recently engaged O’Keefe & Partners to undertake a fundraising Feasibility Study on our behalf.

The Study is being conducted in order to:

  • Investigate our potential to raise $1.7 million to build a commercial kitchen and to generate funds for future expansion

  • Enhance our overall fundraising capability


O’Keefe & Partners are seeking feedback and advice from you, our supporters and friends, on a range of topics in relation to Hare Krishna Melbourne. The purpose of this survey is to investigate opportunities to fulfil our fundraising vision.

Thank you. I do hope that you will take the opportunity to contribute to our investigation process.

Yours faithfully,

ISKCON Disciple Course Mandatory for Initiation

Are you preparing for initiation?

Please note that ISKCON's Governing Board Commission has resolved that "the ISKCON Disciple Course [IDC]...shall be a mandatory pre-requisite for all devotees accepting first or second initiation by an ISKCON guru, effective Janmastami, 2015 [September the 6th. in Melbourne].

After that date, no guru may initiate a disciple who has not first completed the Disciple Course. This is in addition to current requirements of new initiates." (Minutes of the AGM, Sri Mayapur Dham, February 19 – March 2, 2014, Section 317: http://gbc.iskcon.org/gbc_res/GBCRES14.html)

Melbourne Yatra began applying this standard in 2014.

If you are preparing for first or second initiation, you have around seven months to complete the Disciple Course. The next Course may be held at Easter time.

You can register your interest by visiting our IDC page.
