ISKCON Bhagavat Mahavidyalaya of North America, is committed to use the traditional methods of studying and teaching the Vedic literature and writings of the Gaudiya Vaishnava Acharyas.

As a service to the vaishnava society we wish to offer the glories of Srimad Bhagavatam as presented by our previous acharyas. This is our humble attempt to encourage devotees to read, hear and speak about Srimad Bhagavatam regularly.
