Srila Prabhupada’s Vision for Education
When Srila Prabhupada founded ISKCON, he placed a profound emphasis on education, embedding it deeply within our glorious movement’s mission. Remarkably, four out of the seven core purposes of ISKCON are dedicated to education, underscoring its importance. Srila Prabhupada’s visionary approach led to the creation of foundational courses like Bhakti-Sastri, aimed at nurturing a proper understanding of the scriptures among devotees. His Divine Grace foresaw the need for even more advanced educational programs through other courses such as Bhakti-Vaibhava, Bhakti-Vedanta, and Bhakti-Sarvabhauma.
Through such a committed study of Srila Prabhupada’s books, which are saturated with the teachings of the previous acharyas, it is natural that a few devotees may develop the desire to learn further the works of the previous torchbearers of our sampradaya.
Launch of BhaktiGranthaSeva.com
Srila Prabhupada conveyed this desire many times through his Bhaktivedanta purports, classes, and conversations. In homage to His Divine Grace, and on the auspicious occasion of his 128th Vyas Puja, the BhaktiGranthaSeva.com portal is being launched. It is a humble attempt to contribute in a small but meaningful way to the educational vision of our beloved Founder-Acharya.
This new platform is dedicated to offering courses based on the revered books of our great acharyas in the Gaudiya-sampradaya, including Srila Prabhupada, Sri Bhaktivinoda Thakura, Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura, Srila Jiva Gosvami, Sri Rupa Gosvami, and contemporary teachers like Sivarama Swami, to name just a few.
