In a groundbreaking move to spread the teachings of Srimad Bhagavatam and advance Vedic education, the renowned ISKCON Bhagavata Mahavidyalaya has launched a new educational program in collaboration with the Simhachalam community. With a vision to serve Europe and Africa, this initiative aims to provide a systematic and accessible platform for studying sacred scriptures.
Under the leadership of Govinda Dev Das, currently serving as the Temple President and facilitating the establishment of ISKCON Bhagavata Mahavidyalaya at ISKCON Sinhachalam, the program has already garnered immense interest. Govinda Dev shared with ISKCON News the inspiring story behind the expansion: “Brajsundar Prabhu started this school in Vrindavan, India, and it has now shifted to Govardhan. During the Corona lockdown period, it expanded dramatically online, attracting around 30,000 to 40,000 students.”
To meet the growing demand and expand the reach of this enlightening program, branches have now been established in Florida – USA, and Simhachalam – Europe. The Simhachalam branch serves devotees in Europe and Africa, utilizing the favorable timezone to benefit participants. The entire learning platform, including the website and applications, has been skillfully developed by a professional team from India, ensuring a seamless experience for students.
The newly launched mobile app and website, ibmveu.org, offer a user-friendly interface that allows individuals to easily create an account and access a range of courses. Excitingly, some courses are entirely free, encouraging participants to delve into the teachings of the Bhagavatam. Additional courses, which require a nominal fee for maintenance purposes, offer more specialized study topics.
