The Bhaktivedanta Institute for Higher Studies (BIHS) is a center for the research and dissemination of a non-mechanistic scientific view of reality. The main purpose of the Institute is to explore the implications of Bhagavat Vedanta philosophy as it bears upon human culture, and to present its findings in courses, lectures, conferences, monographs, digital media, and books. Our work contributes a non-mechanistic view of matter and consciousness to scientific discourse with a goal of exploring consciousness as an irreducible aspect of reality.

The Bhaktivedanta Institute (BI) was formed in 1976 to build intellectual bridges and create joint research paths between the empirical knowledge of modern scholasticism and the metaphysical, cosmological, and cultural descriptions of India’s Bhagavata Vedanta tradition. Over the last four decades, our work has produced numerous significant publications, research partnerships, and conference proceedings. Past conferences sponsored by the Bhaktivedanta Institute have brought together scientists and philosophers, including a number of Nobel Laureates, to explore areas of mutual interest.

We disseminate research outcomes through articles, monographs, and books and hold open discussion and presentation forums through an ongoing series of courses, lectures, and conferences. We welcome networking with researchers from all disciplines and philosophical persuasions.

The Bhaktivedanta Research Centre is a premium research institute headquartered in Kolkata with branches across various cities in India such as Mumbai, Pune, Jagannath Puri, and Vrindavan. It’s noble aim is to be a leading research center and an academic institution dedicated to preserving, researching, and disseminating the rich history, philosophy, and cultural heritage of India in general and Bengal in particular as well as to create awareness and foster cooperation on these studies internationally.

Our mission is to facilitate an inclusive academic environment for national and international scholars irrespective of their socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. We want to offer them accredited academic programs including Ph.D., MA, Diploma, and Certificate courses, and excel in qualitative research in the diverse fields of aesthetics, culture, history, comparative religion, philosophy, and sociology of Indic studies.

The Academy of Research for Cultivation of Indian Sciences (ARCIS) is a vibrant institute, under ARCIS knowledge foundation Kolkata, dedicated to intensive study & research on the Indian Sciences, Indian wisdom & Indian heritage. The centre will primarily focus on the interfacing of the ancient Indian wisdom with natural sciences and mathematical sciences. The centre will also play a pivotal role in translation and communication of scientific literature. The scientific literature found in the Sanskrit texts and manuscripts and the scientific works in the Indian vernaculars will be translated into English for wider outreach. Additionally, the center will develop a platform to showcase the life and works of the Indian scientists and mathematicians who have made a significant contribution in their respective fields.

ARCIS will emerge as a center of excellence that will, on one hand, nurture the scientific heritage of India and, on the other hand, will cultivate the Ancient Indian wisdom in its pristine form.
