ISKCON Educational Services was established in January 1991, primarily to offer support to the educational world in its study and teaching of Hinduism. Those of us involved are also concerned that ISKCON's traditions, both specific and broad, are accurately represented.
Hinduism, or more precisely Sanatan Dharma, teaches about universal principles and their corresponding values. Consequently, we wish to encourage every student's moral and spiritual development, irrespective of their background or specific religious affiliation.
Despite
this inclusive approach, we also recognise the need to acknowledge the autonomy
of each discrete religious tradition. One of our aims, therefore, is to serve
the needs of the British Hindu community, by helping them preserve their heritage.
At IES, we attempt to support and exemplify an approach towards RE which embodies
the best of both spiritual and educational principles.
