ISKCON Bhagavata Mahavidyalaya Europe

ISKCON Bhagavata Mahavidyalaya Europe aims to develop a sustainable Krishna conscious community, teaching a simpler, more natural way of life under the guidance of Śrī Śrī Prahlad Lakshmi Narasimhadeva. Inspired by Śrīla Prabhupāda’s vision, we provide opportunities for devotees in Europe, Africa, and the UK to study and practice the teachings of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and the writings of the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava Ācāryas. This initiative aims to foster a deep appreciation for Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books and equip devotees with the knowledge to fulfill the mission of human life.


Our mission is to enlighten society with the wisdom of the Bhāgavata Purana, promote Krishna-bhakti and rasa, and establish Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam as a guiding ideology for peace, friendship, and prosperity. We envision nurturing dynamic teachers to spread the teachings of the Bhagavad-gītā, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, and Śrī Caitanya-Caritāmṛta, thereby reinstating fundamental spiritual values and culture.


As Śrīla Prabhupāda said, "It is a cultural presentation for the re-spiritualisation of the entire human society." To achieve this, we offer both online and on-site education and philosophical training through traditional Vedic and innovative educational methods.

Course Overview

Course Description:

“So you should understand by carefully studying the philosophy. We have so many books now, and I want all my students to read them carefully. Soon we will introduce examinations in Bhakti Sastri, and all the brahmanas will have to take them. So utilize whatever time you can to study my books carefully.”

(Srila Prabhupada’s letter to Upendra, July 7, 1976)

We have designed the Bhakti Sastri course for those devotees who have sincerely practiced Krishna consciousness and want to systematically study Srila Prabhupada’s Bhagavad-gita, Sri Isopanisad, Nectar of Devotion, and Nectar of Instruction. This course will not only enhance your knowledge and understanding of the sastras and thus make you more determined to practice Krishna consciousness, but will also enable you to distribute the principles of Gaudiya Vaisnava in society.
