Quote of the Day

In the spiritual moonlight ocean of perfect love and bliss is a wonderful island. In that island is the forest of Vrndavana. In that forest of Vrndavana is a wonderful fair and dark young couple. (Prabodhananda Sarasvati, Vrndavana mahimamrta, Sataka 2 text 31)

Vrindavan Institute for Higher Education (VIHE)

The Vrindavan Institute for Higher Education was established to fulfil Srila Prabhupada's desire for a higher educational institute in Vrindavan. It aims at deepening devotees' understanding, realization and appreciation of Srila Prabhupada's teachings and to preserve and disseminate Krishna consciousness. VIHE imparts to successive generations the Krishna conscious culture and values given by Srila Prabhupada.

VIHE provides an ideal facility and atmosphere for a spiritual experience that includes improving one's sadhana, developing devotional qualities, engaging in serious study, associating with senior devotees, receiving spiritual training and taking shelter of Sri Vrindavan Dhama.

VIHE provides classes in preparation for the Bhakti Sastri and Bhakti Vaibhava degrees and instruction in a variety of Vedic and related academic subjects. Tapes, CDs and MP3s from previous classes are available from VIHE.

The VIHE classrooms are situated nearby the Bhaktivedanta Swami Goshala along the Vrindavan Parikrama path.
