The history of 26 Second Avenue in the late 1960s is practically synonymous with the history of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada and his beloved institution, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
From 1966 to 1968 ISKCON was headquartered here at 26 Second Avenue. As the numbers of followers grew, the storefront became too small. Then, the temple moved to larger locations, leaving the humble storefront behind -- but never forgotten.
Since that time, the Hare Krishna temple here at 26 Second Avenue has become a beacon of Krishna consciousness in New York City. Moreover, to followers of the Hare Krishna movement from around the world, it is a sacred place of pilgrimage, a tirtha, being the place from which Srila Prabhupada began the dynamic expansion of Krishna consciousness in New York, and throughout the world.
