ISKCON Ministry of Education

“Just like in the material world, there is education for medical man, there is education for engineer, there is education for so many other departments. Similarly, there is education how to make one man spiritual. So we are going to give education how to become spiritually advanced. That is our purpose.”

– Srila Prabhupada, Interview, 14 July 1976

Education in the History, Mission, and Mood of Srila Prabhupada.

This course introduces students to the life, character, teachings, and divine mission of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda, Founder-Ācārya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), whose compassion carried Kṛṣṇa consciousness across the world. The course is based on the BBT publication Śrīla Prabhupāda: The Messenger of the Supreme Lord. Through an integrated approach combining historical study, class discussions, role plays, and structured reflection, participants cultivate a personal connection with Śrīla Prabhupāda and develop a deeper appreciation of their role in serving his mission within ISKCON.

“If children are given practical guidance on the transcendental platform, above the bodily and mental conception of life, then they will develop into perfect citizens – moral, honest, hard-working, law-abiding, clean, faithful to home and country, like that. That is the unmatched success of our Krishna consciousness schooling system.”

(Srila Prabhupada, letter to Satsvarupa, December 17, 1977)
