Gathering information and registration

Cultura del Bhakti is an online Vaiṣṇava educational platform dedicated to the systematic, in-depth, and practical study of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s teachings.

Our programs include ISKCON’s main pathways of śāstric study—Bhakti-śāstrī, Bhakti-vaibhava, Bhaktivedānta, and Bhakti-sārvabhauma—offered through a flexible, dynamic, and supportive learning experience.

Our programs also include Introduction to Bhakti Practices; the Śrīla Prabhupāda Introduction Course (SPIC), which explores the life and teachings of Śrīla Prabhupāda; the ISKCON Disciple Course; and the three levels of the Teacher Training Course—TTC1, TTC2, and TTC3—designed to train and accredit Vaiṣṇava educators within ISKCON.

Students have access to multimedia libraries, explanations in different formats, interactive activities, practical exercises, live online meetings, and opportunities to learn together with teachers and fellow students.

The heart of our approach is to ensure that the wisdom of the Bhagavad-gītā, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, and Caitanya-caritāmṛta does not remain confined to books or intellectual memory, but illuminates our personal practice, relationships, service, and community life.

Through the Śāstric Mission, each student transforms what they have learned into a meaningful contribution created for a real audience. These contributions may take the form of videos, podcasts, workshops, educational resources, artistic productions, community projects, and many other creative ways of sharing Vaiṣṇava wisdom.

At Cultura del Bhakti, studying śāstra means understanding deeply, applying its teachings with discernment, and sharing them with creativity and a genuine spirit of service.
