Why become an academic scholar when you can be a natural scholar in the eternal Vaisnava tradition?

Why not consider joining the BBT’s new, dynamic school, the Srimad-Bhagavata Vidyapitham in Krishna’s favorite place, Sri Govardhana?

Currently the Srimad-Bhagavata Vidyapitham is offering a three-year Bhagavata-sastri course, the students of which learn the Sanskrit grammar and six Sandarbhas of Sri Jiva Gosvami, acquire the skills to read and speak Sanskrit fluently, and become immersed in the study of the major Bhagavatam commentaries of our line. Graduates of this course will be able to pursue further individualized study and will have the opportunity to become translators and editors for the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, or find other engagement in ISKCON as teachers and researchers.

Let me speak to others that way.” A truly educated person, therefore, will try not to hurt anyone, even by his words.
