ABOUT THE

Cultural Education Centre Project

The Vrindavan Heritage Tower Cultural Education Centre is dedicated to advancing knowledge on the intersections of human development and culture in India and regions across the globe. Our focus includes all age groups and social categories and is grounded in the perspective that culture and values systematically shape relationships between individuals and larger institutions and society. Moreover, ideas related to culture and values are infused in all contexts, including family, school, neighbourhood, community and social contexts, in ways that shape learning and development across moral, social, psychological, spiritual and emotional domains.

The role of the Cultural Education Centre in today’s perspective is to create a space to celebrate the culture and values of the country through various activities like festivals, exhibitions, music, dance, seminars, conferences and other such events. It encourages people to participate in different creative fields and learn deeply about India’s rich heritage, vibrant culture and strong values.

Srila Prabhupada, was a true visionary. He always envisioned spreading ancient Indian culture all over the world. Subsequently, he established 108 Radha Krishna temples worldwide in a short span of 10 years, serving as spiritual sanctuaries and cultural education centres for stressed and distressed modern minds. In pursuance of Srila Prabhupada's vision, we have conceived this Cultural Education Centre to spread his ideals of universal love and brotherhood.

The Cultural Education Centre is located in the sacred land of Vrindavan, the heart of Braj. Vrindavan has an incredibly rich cultural heritage, mainly due to its sanctity and spiritual practices. It is considered to be one of the most important holy sites attracting pilgrims from every corner of the world. People worship and celebrate the beautiful culture, tradition and wisdom of devotional yoga (bhakti) practised in Vrindavan. We have chosen this sacred hub of values and principles for our Cultural Education Centre. The Centre offers unique educational experiences imbibed with India's glorious history and heritage.
