Development of educational and sustainable agriculture

Thanks to ‘5 per mille’ contributions, it has been possible to support the development of an educational agriculture project inspired by Ayurveda, strengthening the activities of the Agriculture Department.
The initiative included the purchase of seeds, plants, and gardening materials, as well as the upgrading of equipment and the training of volunteers and collaborators.
This project combines practical experience, education, and care for the land, promoting sustainable practices and a more harmonious relationship between human beings and nature.

Improvement of spaces for reception and activities.

Thanks to the "5 per mille" contribution, it was possible to carry out renovation and adaptation work on the premises of the Department of Educational Agriculture inspired by Ayurveda, including the creation of new changing rooms and dedicated facilities.
This project has improved the quality of the spaces used for daily activities, making them more functional, welcoming, and aligned with the needs of those who participate in the association’s life.
This investment provides concrete support to individuals, fostering an environment that is more organized, respectful, and focused on well-being—fully in line with the values ​​and objectives of the Centro Studi Bhaktivedanta APS.

Towards Energy Independence: The Association’s Environmental Investment

The Association has utilized the financial support it received to make significant progress in upgrading the photovoltaic and electrical system at its premises. This included the integration of new hybrid inverters and the installation of battery storage systems, leading to a substantial improvement in energy efficiency. The initiative aims to reduce energy consumption within the Association’s facilities and promote environmental sustainability, bringing the organization closer to its goal of energy independence. This investment has not only yielded environmental benefits but has also improved the Association’s financial position, supporting it in the pursuit of its social mission.

Video and Filming

The funds received through 5‰ (five-per-thousand) tax contributions for the years 2020/2021 were used to enhance video recording and live-streaming capabilities. This involved the purchase of equipment—such as cameras, transmission systems, microphones, and monitors—all of which were essential for the continuation of the Association’s online activities. With this setup, the Association was able to produce and broadcast audio-video programs remotely, even during the period of restrictions imposed by the pandemic emergency.

Donate your 5x1000 to the Bhaktivedanta Study Center!

You will help us spread well-being, awareness, harmony, and peace.

The Bhaktivedanta Study Center—a "People’s University" for Indo-Vedic Studies—is a recognized non-profit social promotion association. Donations made to us are eligible for tax deductions or tax credits!

Founded in 1995 based on an idea by Marco Ferrini, the Center has spent nearly 30 years disseminating the philosophical, psychological, and spiritual wisdom of Yoga—recognized by UNESCO as part of humanity’s cultural heritage—through courses, live seminars, online webinars, film forums, and publications, both in Italy and abroad.

Yoga is a form of knowledge that liberates; it is a treasure accessible to everyone. It represents a way of relating—to oneself and to others—that fosters human and spiritual evolution, and that values ​​the life of every living being.

Today, pathological states of the psyche represent the most dangerous form of social pollution. Yoga serves as one of the most effective tools for "mental ecology"—a means to enhance our quality of life, improve our relationships, and rediscover our infinite inner resources.

Our efforts to share this wisdom stem from a deep desire to pass on its richness and practical value to as many people as possible, in the spirit of dialogue between East and West.


Help us spread universal values, too

A generous gesture that costs you nothing, yet enables our Association to improve its services for the benefit of more people.

The proceeds will be used by the Association for its outreach and research work—specifically for a project for which it prepares a detailed, documented account of all costs incurred.

Life is a Journey,
the Means the knowledge,
the Goal the Love
