Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 To anyone who has heard of this college, I've come across this website, www.floridavediccollege.edu, and realized that there is a college teaching Vedic Science in Florida. I browsed their website and found that its teachings are based on the same teachings of Swami Prabhupada. Has anyone heard of, or attended this college? I believe it was established about 10 years ago. I was just wondering how the campus and programs are, that's all.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Too bad they don't have someone active as the main professor now. I'd really like to see more colleges like this here in America. Do you know of any other universities that teach Vedic Science here in America? (you don't have to mention MUM, in Fairfield, Iowa. I know of that one already) sincerely seekingliberation gjlist, Das Goravani <das@g...> wrote: > > Florida Vedic College is run by a person who is a disciple of Srila > Prabhupada.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 There is Hindu Hniversity also down in Florida. Also you may contact Gary Gomes about what's going on at the Univ Of Massachusetts. They were trying to get a Vedic & Indian studies program off the ground. I have one of his e-mails if you need it. David Frawley does that correspondence course out of Sante Fe, and it's AVCA approved. But it isn't at a University. The one at the Maharishi's University in Fairlfield, Iowa has already been mentioned.. I think I have seen a list of schols teaching vedic studies through some site I found through Hinduism Today's website once. UT at Austin, TX has South Asian studies, but it doesn't have an astrology course. I was just looking at Das's certificate from the Bharat Vidiya Jyotish(sp? name?) in New Dehli. It's on his web site.Very pretty how it's put onto paper that looks like a (beetel?) leaf. Also it proclaims one who studies astrology will never go to hell. Very interesting. It's K N Rao's school.
