The KOCHI chapter of ISKCON is unique as it has an intimate and unique connection to Srila Prabhupada(vide Srila Prabhupada’s Kochi connection). It has a unique memorial(vide Srila Prabhupada memorial, Kochi) in commemoration of Srila Prabhupada’s setting his lotus feet on the shores of Kochi for a unique purpose. The above ‘connection’ makes the Kochi chapter of ISKCON an important one in the mission of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Kerala, with its reputation as God’s own country gets all the more glorious with Lord Sri Krishna’s pure devotee having graced the land with his lotus feet.
