Established in 1968 in West Virginia, New Vrindaban was ISKCON’s first rural community.
Over the following years, the pioneer community made a series of well-documented mistakes in its early attempts, going through some of ISKCON’s darkest and most difficult times. Resources were affected, but most of all people—many of whom left the community.
Still, a skeleton crew remained through the toughest times, working through the repercussions and doing their best to correct the errors of the past.
In more recent times, there has been renewed energy to rebuild New Vrindaban and to turn it into the exemplary self-sufficient, Krishna conscious community that Srila Prabhupada envisioned.
