The Nectar of Instruction
The Bhakti Shastri course encourages students not only to memorize some of the contents of Srila Prabhupada’s books but also to digest the philosophy and practically apply it. Professionally designed by the Vaishnava Training and Education team, the course draws together principles of Krishna consciousness and progressive education. It focuses on behavior and character, and nurtures students in appropriate Vaishnava values. In this way, the course is true to ISKCON’s heritage and simultaneously relevant to contemporary society.

"The seriously inquisitive student or sage, well equipped with knowledge and detachment, realizes the Absolute Truth by rendering devotional service in terms of what he has heard from the Vedanta-sruti." (Bhag. 1.2.12.)
". . . you have to understand by studying carefully the philosophy. We have got so many books now, and I want all of my disciples to read them carefully. Soon we shall be instituting Bhakti-sastri examinations and all brahmanas will have to pass. So utilize whatever time you find to make a thorough study of my books." (Letter from Srila Prabhupada, 7 July 1976)
