With ISKCON since
Archana Maheshwari holds a Master's degree and is currently pursuing her PhD. She completed her Bhakti Shastri at ISKCON Noida — a demanding course of scriptural study in the Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam.
Her scriptural formation developed under the guidance of Gita Manishi Devshekhar Vishnu Das Ji — not as a line on a page, but in the sustained work of learning, questioning, and preparing to teach.
She teaches long-form scripture courses through this programme, across adult and children-focused formats. Examinations are supervised by Swati Mataji at ISKCON Ayodhya, who sets the standard behind certificates and assessment.
Under her guidance
Swati Mataji
Spiritual mentor & examination supervisor, ISKCON Ayodhya
Swati Mataji is the senior guide behind this programme's examination standards. When students sit for chapter exams and receive certificates, those papers pass through her oversight at ISKCON Ayodhya.
She serves as supervisor, invigilator, and examiner — which is why attendance, revision, and open-book exams here are not decorative: someone experienced is watching that the study is real.
Students rarely meet her in every weekly class, but her influence is in the structure — the pace, the seriousness of examination, the expectation that Bhagavad-gita and Bhagavatam are studied carefully rather than skimmed. Archana consults her when a course needs adjusting or when a student needs more than encouragement.
