    About the School

    In the line of Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī.

    A structured learning initiative rooted in the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava tradition — training devotees to live, practise and share Kṛṣṇa consciousness with depth, clarity and authenticity, as envisioned by Śrīla Prabhupāda.

    — Our Inspiration
    "This is my mission — to establish a centre where devotees can be trained thoroughly in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This is very much needed."
    Śrīla A.C. Bhaktivedānta Swāmī Prabhupāda Founder-Ācārya, ISKCON
    His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedānta Swāmī Prabhupāda
    Our Purpose

    Vision, Mission & Mood

    Rooted in śāstra, driven by compassion, dedicated to transformation.

    Spiritually grounded, philosophically strong

    To develop devotees capable of serving and expanding ISKCON's preaching mission — well-versed in śāstra, yet living embodiments of Vaiṣṇava qualities.

    Structured training, real transformation

    • Equip devotees with practical preaching and teaching skills.
    • Philosophical depth meets real-life application.
    • Methodology refined by deśa, kāla and pātra — never compromising principle.
    • Knowledge that leads to realisation.

    Service, humility, paramparā

    Rooted in sevā and paramparā, we believe bhakti education transforms the heart, not merely informs the intellect — guiding every sincere soul from practice to realisation.

    "Knowledge becomes wisdom only when lived."

    Ṣaḍ-Gosvāmī Tradition · Stavāvalī · Raghunātha Dāsa Gosvāmī

    "One who circumambulates Braj is freed from the wandering of countless births."

    The 84 Kos (252 km) reflect the 84 lakh species of life — to walk it with devotion is to walk beyond them.

    Why Walk

    The spiritual significance.

    Liberation from saṃsāra

    The 84 kos mirror the 84 lakh species of life. To complete the parikrama with faith is said to free the soul from the long wandering through birth and death.

    Walking in His footsteps

    Every village, kuṇḍa and forest holds a pastime from the Bhāgavata. You don't read these līlās — you stand within them, on the very ground where they took place.

    The mercy of the dhāma

    Braj is non-different from the spiritual world. Simply living in its dust, hearing its kathā and chanting the holy name in saṅga awakens dormant love for Kṛṣṇa.

    Complete Schedule
