Dear Monica,

Friend of the Bhaktivedanta Institute for Higher Studies.

Welcome to the revived BIHS newsletter! I am excited to reconnect with you and share updates on our programs, including a transformative conference, a new podcast, a new course, and groundbreaking work on the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium—a four-story museum concept led by our team of scientists, philosophers, and Sanskrit scholars.

You’ll find more details and highlights below.

Your support and engagement are vital as we continue exploring the intersections of science, philosophy, and spiritual traditions, including the rich insights of the Vaishnava perspective.. We are actively seeking the support of donors, academics, editors, writers, scientists, and philosophers. If you are inspired to join our efforts, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I am available at bobcohen@bihstudies.org.

Yours in service,

Bob Cohen (Brahmatirtha das)
