Spiritual Education

ISKCON was primarily established to spiritualise society and reach out Vedic knowledge to all sections of society. To achieve this goal, ISKCON has programs that reach out to people of all ages.

  • Bhakta Prahlad Siksa Samaj 

    Children are said to be equal to God. They are innocent and dependent. At the present time stress and pressure is sliding down upon them from different spheres and bad association is dragging them down the path of rude speech, violent responses, unstable values and reckless atheism. Children are moving away far from God.

    With a view to show children the joy that can be found in Godliness, the BPSS conducts programs all over Chennai. The program includes Prayer, Bhajans, Hare Krishna mantra meditation, Story session, indoor fun games, English rhymes and songs, activities and craft and delicious free prasadam. There are conducted at 60 residences of our devotee volunteers in various parts of the city. To know the locations of these BPSS centers, look at our

  • Corporate/ College Seminars

    Intellectual education influences the mind and value-based education influences the heart. If education does not train the heart, it could lead to dangerous consequences.  If we want to build one’s character in our offices, homes and society at large, we must have the wisdom to live a principle-centered life based on honesty, compassion, gratitude, courage, responsibility etc.

    To train students and young professionals in such value based mindset, seminars on topics such as Anger, Stress and Time Management have been presented by our devotees at colleges and corporates. To organise such tailor-made seminars, contact Mrs. Sukirti at 9790710432.
