We are here to promote holistic living amongst the student community through cleanliness habits, nutritious diets, regular mantra meditation sessions, seminars on Bhagavad Gita, selfless service and a life centered around Lord Krishna.

Events

BVC organises a variety of events throughout the year to promote spiritual wisdom in and around the campus. Our annual Festival - Janmashtami witnesses huge footfall from the campus as well as visitors from outside. BVC also conducts Institute level lecture series on Bhagavad Gita and daily Mantra Meditation Classes. Our Melodious Kirtans, delicious prasadam and divinely intoxicating retreats are loved by all.

Spiritual Retreats

BVC organizes various adventrous retreats to places like Omkareshwar, Badrinath, Rishikesh, Vrindavan , Mayapur etc during the summer vacations and mid-end sem breaks. The retreats enthuse you spiritually and gives a much needed break from the studies. The Retreat is attended by various senior Alumnis & Professors from IIT Kanpur and Other IIT's.

BVC run Bhagavad Pathshala for kids in nearby villages of IIT Kanpur every day from 3-5 PM helping them with their school subjects along with inculcating them with spiritual values to make them a person of character and values. In the lockdown period,BVC started the initiative to provide daily prasadam meals to atleast 300 starving poor children nearby IIT Kanpur everyday

Unlike the uni-directional focus of most other clubs at IITK, BVC provides an excellent platform to help students simultaneously become experts in Musical Instruments, Drama, Singing, Event Coordination, Time Management, Cooking, Sanskrit education, Indian Philosophy, Photography and much more, to have a holistic growth and unique personality

Bhagavad Gita Lecture Series

BVC conducts a week long Bhagavad Gita Lecture Series at Insitute Level for all the students. The Bhagavad Gita is presented very scientifically contrasting it to the prevelant modern scientific theories with hot debates and discussions. Various sessions on Practical Mind Controlling Techniques such as Mantra Meditation, Cognitive behavioral therapy etc are also held.

Witness the divinity

This knowledge is the king of education, the most secret of all secrets.
It is the purest knowledge, and because it gives direct perception
of the self by realization, it is the perfection of religion. It is
everlasting, and it is joyfully performed.
[Bhagavad Gita 9.2]
