Service to mankind is service to God -Akshaya

Akshaya means -that which never diminshes or never decreases.This term itself shows what service they want to take up here.
The Akshaya Patra in Mysore was established on 16th of August, 2004, which would feed over 300 children in a school. With the passing of days, it has grown bigger and better and at present it serves food to 3000 children everyday.
Initially established in New York, the Iskcon Temple was founded by Swami Prabhupada There are over 40 Iskcon Temples across the country. These temples are often adorably called, the Hare Rama Hare Krishna Temples. The sanyasis that reside in the temple in Mysore are seen dressed in orange colored robes. They are dedicated souls who have devoted themselves to the noble cause of Krishna Consciousness.
THe food served in schools has been highly appreiciated and there are many life patrons in this upcoming branch at Mysore.
