Yasoda Suta Das: Hare Krishna,
As you may already know in 2003 the i-Foundation, spotted a glaring need for faith schools which give a universal approach to spirituality as propagated by Lord Chaitanya. The first Krishna Avanti primary school opened in Harrow and has since become an overwhelming success.
Much of the success of the Krishna Avanti family of schools comes from the fact that, there is a big demand for good education that provides a wholesome, spiritual backdrop to the typical material credentials.

Sri Isopanisad means "knowledge which brings one closer to the Supreme." This book of 19 mantras describes the Complete Whole, the position of the living entities as parts and parcels of that Complete Whole, and their relationship with the Supreme.
Our five week eCourse creates a foundation of knowledge and understanding based on spiritual teachings that help loosen the tight knot of material attachments. Sri Isopanisad explains how we can live and work in this material world without binding ourselves to a network of anxiety and frustrations created through laws of karma.
Worldwide, friends of Krishna are studying Vedic writings, and although most are eager to study systematically, they're not always able to spend a few months to relocate and take the courses in a classroom setting.

Struggling? Kali-yuga is heavy! We’ve, therefore, meditated on years of student feedback and consulted empowered preachers to better understand our students’ needs and thereby strengthen our course offerings. We’ve made adjustments that we’re sure will give you more access to Krsna’s mercy, resulting in more Krsna consciousness and less influence of Kali in your life.
In June of 1975 Srila Prabhupada pleaded with his disciples in L.A., “I am writing these books for you. You have to know these books.” Over the years Srila Prabhupada made it clear to his followers that his books were his greatest offering of assistance to them because he knew that, if devotees carefully and sincerely study his books, their rapid advancement in spiritual life will be guaranteed.
Helping devotees carefully study Srila Prabhupada’s books is the essence of the Mayapur Institute’s mission. With our mission in mind and after continuous reflection and discussions, we have given our very best to improve and increase our course offerings:

Those of you involved in education the first thing you have to decide is what are your principles. To determine this I went through a series of lectures Srila Prabhupada gave in Mumbai in 1976. He lectured on the verses from the Bhagavatam seventh canto, chapter twelve, texts one to six.

We would like to become an Approved Examination Center for the administration of Bhakti Sastri Examinations.

Bhakti School is a school for children from 6 to 15 years old aproved by the brazilian government. It is a day school (from 7:30am - 6:00pm) not only for devotees children but for all who have interest in a higher education. Our curriculum is based on the vedic curriculum that is discribed on the scriptures (based on Mayapur Academy's Gurukul curriculum). The design of the curriculum is based on projects not subject classes, there is no specific grades or classes, the whole group of students are divided in three multi-grade groups:
Kaumara - 6 - 8
Pauganda - 9 - 12
Kaishora - 13 - 15
Some projetcs are for the group and some for all students. Also each of the groups have 2 or 3 guardians beside the teachers. Is a very dinamic andorganic school
After completing the bhakta course or similar training programme, sabbatical is an introduction to the ideal practice of KC, with the focus of internal development and application. This will be two part programme with a focus on four areas:
Sanga (Association): Devotees need to experience deep relationships that everyone is yearning for, through selfless service towards each other with Krishna in the centre.
Sastra (Scripture): All the acharyas taught us that the greatest need for today is people who can live by the pure teachings of Krishna Consciousness.
Sadacara (Character): Philosophy without good character is useless.
Skills: Practical Skills are that central to vaisnava culture and lifestyle.

ISKCON Ministry of Educational Development official website (iskconeducation.org) is offering a new facility - an online database of devotee educators. The data base can be searched by educational category, country and keyword. To increase the quality and quantity of information provided by the database we need to have as many entries as possible. Therefore we are requesting anyone who has professional experience and/or certification in areas pertinent to education, to send their contact information (name, address, city, country, phone, email, website) and a short description of their professional training and teaching engagements.
