The Bhaktivedanta Research Center (BRC) takes immense pleasure in announcing that Gauranga Das, GBC member, and director of ISKCON Govardhan Eco-Village (GEV), has successfully completed his Master of Arts (By Research) in Philosophy from the Bhaktivedanta Research Center, affiliated with Mumbai University.
His thesis, “Legacy of Community Building in the Bhakti Tradition: Principles of Community Development from Shri Chaitanya’s Philosophy and Life,” offers deep insights into the foundational principles of community development inspired by Lord Caitanya’s example and precepts.
Gauranga Das conducted his research under the guidance of Dr. Thanigaimalai Thirumalai (Mukund Madhav Das), research supervisor at BRC. His work explores key questions about human relationships, the vision of an ideal society, and practical steps toward achieving such a community. The thesis highlights Bhakti principles such as servitude, compassion, selflessness, and freedom from discrimination as essential elements for building thriving and fulfilling communities that foster greater satisfaction and belongingness among their members. With detailed analysis and comparative studies, it provides a roadmap for building cohesive communities grounded in mutual respect, service, and devotion.
