Kutam
Bhaktivedanta Vidya Bhavan Gurukul
The aim is Srila Prabhupada's desire for Varnashrama Dharma. Spiritual education, cow protection, agriculture, and community life are the foundation of that desire.
Bhaktivedanta Vidya Bhavan Gurukul is not only a school. It is the foundation on which this larger mission is practiced.
Founder
Das Gadadhar Das
In June 2018 he started Bhaktivedanta Vidya Bhavan Gurukul, and it continues to this day in Kutam and in other places.
Das Gadadhar Das serves through Bhaktivedanta Vidya Bhavan Gurukul in Kutam, where study, worship, cow care, and farming are learned together.
It opened as a small hut and a small kitchen, with thirty students. Lord Radha Ramanji was installed, and worship and mangal arati have been offered every day since.
Spiritual education
Daily studies go on beside the worship of Lord Radha Ramanji and mangal arati.
Cow protection
With their studies, the students are trained to serve the cows.
Agriculture
They farm vegetables as part of that same training.
Community life
Festivals such as Janmashtami are held in great pomp, and the children perform drama.
The villagers of Kutam granted 5.95 acres so the Gurukul could be established on that land.
Educational activities at the Gurukul began on 25 July 2018.
The Gurukul's work is also connected with Hazaribag, Roha, Pen, Satara, and Karad.

The mission in action
From Srila Prabhupada's vision of Varnashrama Dharma, through Prabhuji's mission, the Gurukul stands as the foundation of a sustainable Vedic way of life.

Prabhuji's mission
To serve that desire he sought land for a gurukul. The villagers of Kutam granted 5.95 acres, and Mr Karma ji and Krishna Masterji of the Patanjali family guided him.

Bhaktivedanta Vidya Bhavan Gurukul is the foundation of the mission, not only a school. Worship, study, cow care, farming, and festivals are learned here as one way of living.
