About the Sanatana Dharma Association

HareKrishnaTemple.com is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita As It Is. We are headquartered in New York but our members and website visitors live all across the globe. We distribute books and vegetarian meals directly and through our partner organizations.

Questions are welcome at info@harekrishnatemple.com.

Sean and Cristina Carolan started this site in 2001 for people like themselves: devotees of Srila Prabhupada who do not live near a temple, or who simply want to practice Krishna consciousness at home. Everything here follows Srila Prabhupada's books and instructions as they are. The Bhakta Handbook is the heart of the site.

Below are some photographs of our food distribution in the USA and work with relief organizations in India.

Sanatana Dharma Association works closely with hunger relief organizations like Akshaya Patra, also known as Food for Life. Thousands of Indian school children depend on this program for a healthy vegetarian lunch every day.
