A sacred sanctuary of divine love, eternal wisdom and spiritual transformation in the heart of Tiruchirappalli
HKM Trichy — the Sri Sri Radha Madana Mohana Temple — stands as a luminous beacon of Vedic culture and spiritual wisdom in the ancient city of Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu. Nestled in the shadow of the majestic Rock Fort, our temple serves thousands of devotees, seekers and visitors who come to experience the transformative grace of Sri Sri Radha Madana Mohana.
As part of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) — founded by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada — we are dedicated to spreading the eternal teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam throughout the Cauvery Delta region and beyond.
From humble beginnings to a thriving spiritual centre — the story of how divine grace transformed Tiruchirappalli.
A small group of enthusiastic devotees inspired by Srila Prabhupada's books began holding home programmes and Harinam Sankirtan in the streets of Tiruchirappalli, planting the first seeds of Krishna consciousness in this ancient city.
With the blessings of HKM leadership and the tireless dedication of local devotees, the formal temple of Sri Sri Radha Madana Mohana was established in Tiruchirappalli. The beautiful Deities were installed with grand Vedic ceremonies.
Systematic Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam study programmes were launched, attracting students, professionals and families seeking spiritual wisdom. The temple became a centre of Vedic education in Tamil Nadu.
The Annadaan programme was formalized, committing to feed hundreds of devotees and the needy daily. Youth programmes, Bal Vihar for children, and FOLK for young adults were launched, expanding the temple's reach across the city.
Embracing digital technology, HKM Trichy launched online darshan, virtual Bhagavad Gita classes and social media outreach — bringing the grace of Sri Sri Radha Madana Mohana to devotees worldwide, even beyond Trichy.
Three pillars that guide every activity at HKM Trichy
To systematically propagate spiritual knowledge to society at large and to educate all peoples in the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam as a means of checking the imbalance of values in life, achieving real unity and peace in the world.
To build a global community of spiritually awakened individuals who experience the topmost love of God — devotional service to Sri Sri Radha Krishna — and share that joy with every soul they encounter, transforming families, communities and the world.
To bring every living being back to their original, blissful relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead — Sri Krishna — through the sublime process of Bhakti Yoga as taught by Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and revived by Srila Prabhupada.
Born in Calcutta in 1896, Abhay Charanaravinda Bhaktivedanta Swami — later known as Srila Prabhupada — received the instruction from his spiritual master to spread Krishna consciousness in the English-speaking world.
At the age of 69, with great personal conviction and only forty rupees, he boarded a cargo ship to New York. What followed was nothing short of a spiritual revolution — within eleven years he had circled the globe fourteen times and established 108 temples worldwide.
"If you simply present the teachings of Bhagavad Gita as they are — without any interpretation — that will do tremendous service to humanity."— Srila Prabhupada
"Simply chant Hare Krishna and your life will be sublime."

Spreading the eternal wisdom of the Vedas — especially the Bhagavad Gita — as the most precious gift that can be offered to humanity.
