Hare Krishna Centre, Christchurch

The Christchurch Hare Krishna Centre is the home of the beautiful Temple of Sri Sri Nitai Gaurachandra – forms of Krishna who appeared 500 years ago as Lord Chaitanya and his brother Lord Nityananda.

Together they taught the easy and sublime process of bhakti-yoga through the chanting of the names of God.

Here, in the temple, devotion is expressed through meditative rituals that have been carefully preserved for centuries, handed down in a lineage of the great saints and teachers of the bhakti-yoga tradition. Spending time here can be a deeply refreshing and pleasing way to leave the day’s troubles behind and reconnect with your true spiritual nature.

We welcome everyone to spend quiet time here alone, or come for gatherings and festivals.

Anyone who is steady in his determination for the advanced stage of spiritual realization and can equally tolerate the onslaughts of distress and happiness is certainly a person eligible for liberation.
