Hinduism in Hungary

[1] The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) runs the Bhaktivedanta Theological College in Hungary.

Krishna devotees first appeared in Hungary at the end of the 1970s, but only in the second wave of the mission, in the mid 1980s, did a viable community develop.

The 100 kilo bell residing in the temple tower resounds daily in accordance with Hungarian custom.

[3] At the moment, Krishna-valley has 150 inhabitants, and there are an additional 30,000 people yearly who visit there or participate at religious festivals.

[4] Since 1989 the Community of the Hungarian Krishna conscious devotees (from now on ISKCON) is a registered religion in Hungary.

[7][8] In 2012, this law was amended and the list was expanded with the number of officially recognized churches being increased from 14 to a total of 32,[9] which included the Hungarian Society for Krishna Consciousness as a fully recognized church in Hungary.
