Community Education

A key aim of the Manor is to offer education in the community. This means working with schools and colleges of further education, advising the public sector such as in education, health and social services, organising workshops for the Manor’s own congregation, and training teachers to assist instructing and ministering to the needs of the congregation and the wider community.

Study Groups

Weekend classes and extended courses teach indepth krishna consciousness. In some cases they lead to qualifications such as Bhakti shastri, valuable for those wishing to take up further responsibilities in the service of community and in their own lives.

Anyone can sign up for seminars to learn aspects of devotional practice, including yoga, ayurvedic health, vegetarian cookery, relationship skills, or philosophy.


The Manor regularly hosts student conferences of krishnasoc, a network of over 25 krishna Consciousness societies in uk universities and colleges, including ten in and around London. These societies make spirituality fun, bring students together and deepen their personal journey of life. the students learn about vedic principles, and how they can be applied in modern times. Krishnasoc is open to everyone. Some come for the delicious veggie food and the soulful kirtan.
