Ratha Yatra Amsterdam

Hare Krishna in Amsterdam

Hare Krishna has been a part of Amsterdam since 1971. The first temple was situated in the bijlmer and later in the middle of the Red Light District. From that place we evolved into a bigger place at the Herengracht, then to Keizersgracht and even later to the Hobbemakade. Now we have a place at the Van Hilligaertstraat 17, but that is going to change soon. Our new and bigger temple will be opened in a few months on the Wittenburgergracht.

It has been quite a history and the Hare Krishna people are a well known phenomena by now. Our yearly festival like Ratha Yatra, our appearance on Queensday and our weekly singing and dancing through the Kalverstraat have aided to this.
