About the Contest
Sreshta Contest is a value-based educational initiative by ISKCON Abids, Hyderabad, inspired by the life and teachings of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada — the founder-acharya of ISKCON.
At the age of 69, with almost no money and no institutional support, Srila Prabhupada journeyed alone from India to America. What happened next became one of the most remarkable success stories of modern times.
"Whatever action a great person performs, common people follow."— Bhagavad-gita 3.21
Through determination, wisdom, compassion, and unwavering faith, he inspired millions of people and established a global movement dedicated to spiritual wisdom, character building, and service to humanity.
Support the mission · 50 Years of ISKCON Hyderabad
As we mark 50 glorious years of ISKCON Hyderabad, we are organising a state-level contest on the life story of Srila Prabhupada — a humble endeavour to bring his timeless message to thousands of hearts across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

Every donation, however small, is an offering in service of Srila Prabhupada's mission. Your support becomes a part of this golden jubilee celebration — and a seed of Krishna consciousness in many lives.
"When one donates something to a worthy cause, the Supreme Lord is pleased."— Bhagavad-gita 17.20
