Cultural Center
The primary purpose as to why Srila Prabhupada, the Founder-Acharya of ISKCON, started this movement is Education. He formulated the vision statement as follows, To systematically propagate spiritual knowledge to society at large and to educate all people in the techniques of spiritual life in order to check the imbalance of values in life and to achieve real unity and peace in the world.
The Educational Center of KCEC is geared towards fulfilling this vision of Srila Prabhupada.
Education has its roots in the word ‘Educare’, which means ‘to bring out’ and/or also ‘to mould’. Understanding the true purpose of education, KCEC Educational Center’s approach is unique and out of the box. From teaching through exhibits and museum to one-one training, it offers all flavours of education in its true sense of term
