The ISKCON Sandton Vaishnava Institute of Education and Training (VIEC) is dedicated to propagating the principles enunciated by His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam. The primary function of the institution is to create an all-inclusive, holistic environment of performing arts and educational training in Vedic theology and its application in a modern day setting. VIEC aims to accomplish this purpose through ‘youth development’, ‘university preaching’, ‘food for life’, ‘education and training’, ‘cooking lessons’, and ‘kids development’.
