About Bhaktivedanta Rajavidyalaya

Bhaktivedanta Rajavidyalaya, is a project of ISKCON NVCC Pune.

It’s vision and activities are inspired by the teachings of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder-acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Our programs are based on systematic and scrutinizing study of Srila Prabhupada books.

Bhaktivedanta Rajavidyalaya also offers teacher training courses to train students to become effective teachers. The students are thus taught to apply Gaudiya Vaishnava teachings, educate others and become empowered emblems of the glorious heritage of our Acharyas. Graduated students are equipped with leadership skills required to perpetuate our mission and thus reform the misguided and suffering society in which we now live.

People today are hankering for spiritual guidance. Modern society deserves spiritual leaders who are well trained and educated. Bhaktivedanta Rajavidyalaya humbly invites you to realize your full potential and become a beacon of enlightenment for the world. Welcome to Bhaktivedanta Rajavidyalaya!

ABOUT OUR VALUES:

We strongly believe that the institute has been growing and will continue to grow in future by the mercy and blessings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and his successor Acaryas in parampara. Our principal core value is faithfulness to Srila Prabhupada books and teachings. Keeping in mind that the service of imparting sastric education is brahminical in nature, the institute does not charge any fees to students but recovers only service charges to barely cover all administrative office expenses such as photocopying, student handbooks, classroom rent and electricity, telephone bills, staff maintenance etc. Also, many of our faculty members do not take any maintenance. Bhaktivedanta Rajavidyalaya believes in and functions with full transparency in all its dealings with students, faculty, staff, donors and the management.
