HYDERABAD, Aug. 9. 

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness wants to build a 'Radha Krishna' temple in Moscow. 

Steps in the direction may be initiated by the Society's founder, Bhakti Vedanta Swami Prabhupada, when he visits the Soviet capital shortly for delivering discourses at the university. 

A spokesman for the Society said here today that they were trying to contact many world leaders and make them take to Krishna consciousness which could lead to world peace. 

Five members of the 'Hare Krishna' movement are here on a three-week visit. They are Subal Das Swami, Yadavacharya Das Brahmachari and Tamal Krishna Goswami (all of the U.S.). Meenakatan Das Adhikari of Toronto, Canada, and Subal Das Swami, a Chinese who joined the Krishna Consciousness Society as a student in Hong Kong. They met the State Governor, Mr. Khandubhai Desal yesterday. 

The Society, whose headquarters is Los Angeles, has built 'Radha Krishna' temples in some 105 countries, it was stated. -FOC.
