Temple renovation project

Our community temple is located in a historical house which is side by side with Tallinn’s Old Town.
House was built in 1922 and has been previously used as a house of prayer. In 1998 it became the home for the Estonian Society of Krishna Consciousness and since then thousands of people have found relief for their troubled minds in this house.

Image Description

Everyday morning programs, regular community gatherings at every Sunday, special celebrations and festivals and simple meetings with devotees for discussions and finding inner light to find help for one’s difficulties in life – that is the place that many people need. Being inside the temple is a purification – by entering this you will  always gather happiness, optimism and wisdom with you.

It has been a place where many spiritual teachers and traveling monks have shared their teachings and association. Meetings with such personalities is always uplifting, educational and strengthens your life force.

Unfortunately everything is evanescent in this material world. The wheel of time has shown it’s effect on this valuable building. Although it may look alright from outside, the expert opinion about the building’s constructional parts is pretty rough – the whole roof needs to be replaced, heating system is old and also the walls need to be renovated, etc.

We have started a project for raising funds to renovate this holy building.

Everyone can participate in that! Your donation can be made here:                                                                         Donate

 

1)  What is this organisation?

International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) temple in  Tallinn.

The practice of Krishna Consciousness is based on bhakti yoga, which is the culmination of all forms of yoga, knowledge, meditation, and spirituality. Thanks to this practice our heart is being cleansed of all bad qualities.

2) Krishna consciousness gives us:

  • Enthusiastic, energetic, self-confident and tolerant members of society with high life values.

  • Reduction of criminal activites and an alternative method for culprits’ correction.
  • Decrease of stressful situations, reduction of depression emergence risk, mental and psychological diseases, decrease of physical illness rate.

  • An ability not to worry about problems and deficiences in people and in circumstances, but to focus on their positive sides.
  • An opportunity to use and develop one’s good qualities by helping others.
  • The more there are people who build their lives based on spiritual values, the calmer the life of every member of society is.
  • Children, brought up on the principles of spirituality are a reliable support, pride and source of happiness for each parent.
  • Ability to be successful in life and being always able to meet your needs.

  • The development of higher values in life: purity, mercifulness, truthfulness, tolerance, self-control.
  • Opportunity to get rid of all bad habits and develop positive character traits.
  • The possibility of spiritual association. We become like those with whom we associate with.
  • Scientific knowledge in all areas of material and spiritual life and their practical application in every day life (answers to all questions).
