What is the School of Bhakti?
School of Bhakti delivers a universal spirituality rooted in the Bhakti tradition of the East. Bhakti, the culmination of all yoga practice, is the devotional awakening that allows for the perfect expression of love. This inspired consciousness infuses one with deep purpose, courageous spirit, and most importantly, a connection with the divine that unleashes joy and fulfilment within every individual.

Our teacher was very patient and knowledgeable!
l have met beautiful souls through the Gita Life course. Our teacher was very patient and knowledgeable & answered every questions we asked. He read and explained every verses and translation. We still come together chant & learn.
I enjoy how intimate, interactive, and detailed the classes are!
I am from Florida, USA. I am a registered nurse and holistic health nurse and coach. The Gita has helped me connect science with spirituality in extraordinary ways. I am so grateful to have found the School of Bhakti through Instagram that led me to this amazing Gita course with Sutapa Prabhu. For many years I have been reading the Gita and been looking for a spiritual mentor/teacher as a guide. Sutapa Prabhu does an excellent job explaining the Gita in modern ways for us to understand. I enjoy how intimate, interactive, and detailed the classes are. I hope to join more classes with the School of Bhakti.
Extremely energised and enthused by the teachings!
I have been extremely energised and enthused by the teachings of the monks at the School of Bhakti. I’m super grateful for their selfless service and sincerely thankful for a truly wonderful opportunity to learn from such an incredible personality.
I am new to the Hare Krishna movement and I enjoyed it!
I have now attended two online programmes for the Bhaktivriksha (North West London) and have found them extremely interesting and very worthwhile to attend. I am new to the Hare Krishna movement, and the speakers at these programmes are very knowledgeable and I enjoyed the subject matter.

The courses gave me an opportunity to build relationships!
SB courses & retreats are now the most important part of my life, infect I can't see my life without the courses offered by SB. Courses like Explore, Gita Life, Overcoming Negativity have helped me understand how this human form of life is a precious gift given to us by God. We have such dedicated scholarly teachers at SB community who through various courses takes us on a journey of ancient Vedic Wisdom. Attending Courses also gave me an opportunity to build relationships with like-minded people and discuss any challenges we go through. During the courses we also have change to ask questions and get clarities of our doubts. The Most heartfelt experience has been through the courses is that coming closer to Krishna and Krishna's devotees. They brought the guiding torch in my life at the stage where i was lost & saw no light at the end of the tunnel.
I would love to do more courses, I gained so much!
I did Gita life and a few others, all the courses are available now online which is great. Both courses I did with JD & he was great, he got us debating, laughing, mixing & meeting new people in the group. I enjoyed them so much & would love to do more courses because I gained so much!
Can't wait for the next session!
I am doing the Gita Life course. The coursework material is useful whilst listening to the instructor. Sutapa prabhu came across very energetic (which rubs onto you) and how he explains each acronym relating to the Gita with examples of how we can apply the Gita in our daily life struggles we go through. He also kept us engaged with the chat sessions which was very useful listening to questions other members had and answered it in a way we could understand which we would never have thought of. The SB kept us up date with the slides and recording of the session to listen in case we missed anything. Can't wait for the next session!
Start your journey, take up a course today!
Inspired by Gita Life course & the journey of other devotees, we too try to incorporate the 4 Regulatory Principles- Austerity, Truthfulness, Compassion & Cleanliness - in our day to day life. Of course, it is still ‘work in progress’ and much needs to improve but as they say, all journeys start with a small step forward. Once you are on this amazing journey, you can find your own unique way to serve Sri Krishna - distribute books, get involved in services at the temple, join & host a local sanga, introduce friends & families, contribute regularly to wonderful charities. You could also volunteer for Pandav Sena, KCSoc and Food For Life. So start your journey too... take up a course at ‘School of Bhakti’ today.
Courses are Amazing!
