ISKCON’s lacto-vegetarianism avoids harm. Rooted in ahimsa, it fosters karmic balance and aligns with spiritual ethics from the Bhagavad-gita.

Pure Power

Sattvic foods—light, cooling, and energizing—are central. As per Vedic texts, they boost mental clarity, physical strength, and inner peace.

Digestive Flame

The diet fuels Vaiswanara, the divine digestive fire. Foods are chosen to nourish the liver, pancreas, and gut with spiritual precision.

Meat-Free Shield

Avoiding meat means dodging hidden threats—hormones, carcinogens, and antibiotics. ISKCON’s plant diet is a natural disease defense.

Protein Harmony

Pairing foods like rice and beans achieves 43% higher protein absorption. The ISKCON plate is scientifically balanced and complete.

Sacred Bites

Food becomes prasadam after being offered to Krishna. Devotees believe it purifies the heart and aids in spiritual awakening.

Mind Fuel

Sattvic food feeds the soul. With its gut-brain connection, this diet promotes calm, clarity, and devotion—not just nutrition.

Seasonal Sync

Eat what’s in season, grown naturally, and cooked fresh. ISKCON’s freshness rule (within 3-4 hours) maximizes vitality and flavor.
