Why This Place Matters

A prominent spiritual institution of the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition, dedicated to the teachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and his philosophy of devotional service (Bhakti). This math (monastery) represents the living tradition of Krishna consciousness in the land where Krishna spoke the Gita.

Mahabharata Connection

Sage Vyasa, who composed the Mahabharata, is honored here. The Gaudiya tradition believes that pure devotion to Krishna (as taught in Bhagavad Gita) is the highest path. This math continues the tradition of studying, teaching, and living the Gita wisdom that originated on this very land.
