ISKCON Gurukulas
For a number of years, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness established gurukulas for children, providing academic as well as Gaudiya Vaishnava spiritual instruction in a boarding-school environment. The movement for the building and supporting of gurukulas was started by the organization's founder and leader of the Hare Krishna movement, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. A number of these gurukulas, in India and other parts of the world, still exist today.
The Bhaktivedanta Gurukula and International School, founded in 1977, is a gurukul in Vrindavan, India. The school cultivates a cultural and vedic lifestyle while providing a high school degree from the ICSE board. In Mayapur (West Bengal, India) an ISKCON gurukul project, which has been in operation since the 1970s, is rejuvenating the ancient gurukul system and providing students with a system of traditional education and values.
