Bridging Ancient Wisdom with Modern Insight

What is LCVS?

London College of Vedic studies is a distinctive educational center and a thriving community established at ISKCON London. LCVS operates not only in London but also across various locations in the UK and internationally, providing both in-person and online learning opportunities.

The college is deeply rooted in the teachings of ISKCON, which emphasizes devotion to Lord Krishna and the practice of sanatana-dharma. It attracts students from diverse backgrounds, including those new to Vedic philosophy and seasoned practitioners.

Our Vision

London College of Vedic studies offers a universal approach to spirituality grounded in the Krishna conscious tradition of Bhakti-yoga, drawing from the teachings of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Bhakti, the pinnacle of all yoga practices, is the path of devotional awakening that enables the purest expression of love. This elevated state of consciousness brings profound purpose, fearless determination, and, above all, a divine connection that unlocks joy and fulfillment within each individual.

Our Mission

At the London College of Vedic studies, approachable and grounded tutors share transformative wisdom and effective spiritual practices tailored to the modern seeker. Through teachings on practical philosophy, lifestyle, culture, and spiritual activities, the college guides students on a journey of inspiration and holistic transformation. Recognising this as a pressing need of our time, the college also extends its reach to the wider world, offering spiritual solutions that foster a more positive and harmonious planet.

Our Promise

The London College of Vedic studies offers courses, cultural events, retreats, and informal gatherings designed to help students apply their learning and navigate life’s challenges with greater happiness, health, and wisdom. More than just a center for spiritual growth, it is a welcoming and dynamic community of diverse, curious, and creative individuals. Here, you’ll build meaningful spiritual friendships that will enrich and illuminate your life’s journey.
