There’s something wonderfully magical about communities. One of the most powerful aspects of a well functioning community is that it can scale trust beyond individual relationships. Here are four benefits that you get from being part of a Temple community.
Seeing the world as one family – connected to that one Supreme, who is known and remembered by different names and methods across the globe. This has huge consequences: suddenly, when you’re searching for the answer to a question or need help, you’re not just looking among your family members, friends or personal network, but within a much larger group, potentially thousands of people across the whole globe.
Searching, collaborating and working within a devotional community means that the chances of finding answers to the queries we always had, the support we always needed, the true-friendships we always sought, are much bigger. There will be more people who could potentially help. The set of people who could help us will be more diverse (and therefore more valuable). A match and meaningful insights are more likely. Benefits of growing spiritually within a devotional community are always much greater than what one could ever imagine.
Join our Gita for Youth programs aimed towards nourishing the hearts of today’s youth with the sublime message of the scriptures, helping them flourish in their lives in a wholesome manner. This is achieved by a number of initiatives like campus outreach, youth festivals, retreats and personal care and guidance by a team of experienced youth mentors.
What India is going through with its youth is not something new. This is exactly what America went through in its history in the 1960’s. The youth, frustrated with the lives led by their parents, rejected and rebelled against the set standards of the society and formed rules of their own, by discarding and disowning their connections with their families and experimenting with drugs, alcohol and other dangerous addictions. This was also known as the ‘hippie’ movement.
The youth, however, never got the answers to their questions and they went deeper and deeper into a blind, dark alley. It is there that they suddenly saw light in the form of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, a distinguished scholar and a pure devotee of Lord Krishna, who had stepped on to the shores of America. Over the next decade, he went about transforming the lives of these very youngsters, who were on the precipice of sunset to a new world of joy, happiness and devotion. This he did by revealing the ancient and timeless knowledge of a highly civilized society in the Vedic times, thereby also quashing some theories that the Vedas were meant for people of a particular time, place and nationality.

His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) often expressed his thoughts:
“We are traveling all over the world, but there is no university, no institution, no school, no academy where the education of spiritual nature is imparted.”
Therefore he considered the establishment of a Vedic academy very essential. Hence, the BACE has been established for this purpose of conducting courses for a systematic study of vedic literatures, and various other courses on lifestyle management and cultural training.
