ISKCON, The International Society for Krishna Consciousness, was founded by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabupada. Srila Prabhupada's aim was to create a global association of Krishna devotees based on the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam. ISKCON has since grown into a worldwide organization of Individuals, communities, temples, farm projects, schools, and restaurants, each centered on the deep devotional service of the supreme Lord Sri Krishna. The desire of a pure devotee: His Holines Srila Jayapataka Swamy, the dearest disciple of Srila Prabhupad, ISKCON Guru, and GBC, used to travel South India with his safari devotees (ISKCON Western country devotees) every year. He visits all the holy places like Tirumala, Tirumala Pathi, Srirangam, Ahobilam, etc. and explains the Lord's pastimes, especially Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's tour of South India. He has asked all the temple managers in South India to establish the footprints of Lord Chaitanya as a mark of his visit. About 20 years ago, H.H. Jayapataka Swamy visited Sri Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple Ahobilam, established Sri Chaitanya Maha Prabhu Footprints, and asked local devotees to take care of and help visiting ISKCON devotees to Ahobilam. Later on, a few devotees stayed there and could not establish a center in Ahobilam. The desire of Srila Gurudeva manifested through a young, dynamic devotee, H.G. Balaji Gouranga Das. He visited Ahobilam, saw the apulence and beauty of Ahobilam, and wanted to have a well-established center for ISKCON to spread Sanatana Dharma to the local people. He met with local farmers to purchase Land for ISKCON and gave an advance payment. Later on, he went to the US to raise funds for the Ahobilam but could not succeed. He gave the responsibility to H.G. Chandrakesava Das, manager, IFRF, Nellore. H.G. Chandrakesava das Prabhu and his wife Lokeswari Radha Devi Dasi discussed with H.H Sukadeva swami Maharaj about the Ahobilam Project. He formally agreed to establish a center in Ahobilam.
H.G. Chandrakesava Das Prabhu and Lokeswari Mathaji sincerely Prayed for the blessings of Guru and Krishna to establish a preaching center in Ahobilam. They met the farmers, and the farmers decided to give land for the ISKCON Preaching Center. H.G. Chandrakesava das met local leaders and explain about the ISKCON activities like Cow Protection, organic farming, and spreading Sanatana dharma for the Village communities. He has succeeded in purchasing the land from the local farmers. Later on, he established the Goshala, Organic farming, and Hari Nama Sankirtana. He has faced a lot of challenges to give shape to the above projects. H.G. Chandrakesava das prabhu also developed a good relationship with Ahobilam Temple Authorities. ISKCON Ahobilam started Srila Prabhupada book distribution and Prasadam distribution. ISKCON Ahobilam has set up a small temple, a deity kitchen, a devotee prasadam hall, and a guest house for visiting devotees. For the past three years, ISKCON Ahobilam hosting Parveta Utsavam of Sri Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy in coordination with Ahobilam Temple Management. This is a two day festival where around three thousand local villagers will participate in the program, and as part of it, a big pandal program is conducted. Later on, the ISKCON Authority's S.I.D.C. Committee accepted 5 acres of land and approved to Start Preaching center in Ahobilam, under the guidance of H.H. Sukadeva Swami, President, ISKCON, Nellore.
