Mayapur InstituteOne very effective and blissful way of taking shelter of Sri Navadvipa-dhama is to come to Sri Mayapur Dhama and immerse oneself in the study of Srila Prabhupada's books in the association of pure Vaisnavas. The Mayapur Institute (MI) is providing an easily accessible opportunity for you to take shelter of Sri Navadvipa-dhama in our upcoming Bhakti-sastri &
Bhaktivaibhava courses. Please make arrangements for a powerful transformation in your spiritual life by coming to Sri Mayapur Dhama and completely engaging yourself in the five most potent angas of bhakti:
sadhu-sanga, nama-kirtana, bhagavata-sravana
mathura-vasa, sri-murtira sraddhaya sevana
mathura-vasa, sri-murtira sraddhaya sevana
-Associate with advanced Vaisnavas
-Perform abundant nama-sankirtana
-Study Prabhupada's Srimad-Bhagavatam and the Bhaktisastras
-Reside in Sri Navadvipa-dhama....
-Worship Sri Sri Radha-Madhava, Panca-tattva and Sri Narasimhadeva
sakala-sadhana-srestha ei panca anga
krsna-prema janmaya ei pancera alpa sanga
krsna-prema janmaya ei pancera alpa sanga
These five limbs of devotional service are the best of all. Even a slight performance of these five awakens love for Krsna.
-Sri Caitanya-caritamrta Madhya-lila 22.128-129
Due to the unprecedented stature of our teachers this year and the fact that we are piloting new Bhakti-sastri and Bhaktivaibhava curriculums, the MI expects a large number of devotees will enroll in these courses and thus encourages devotees to register online as soon as possible to secure their seats. We still have a few seats left and we can help you secure accommodations if you write to us at Mayapur.Institute@pamho.net.
These courses will end before the Mayapur Festival when the MI will offer the Gaura Purnima Courses, which include the VTE Teacher Training Courses, the VTE Communication Skills for Preachers Course, and many other courses that provide opportunities for devotees to increase their devotional and life skills.
We look forward to serving you in Sri Dhama Mayapur, and hope this meets you
in enlivened Krsna consciousness.
Your humble servant,
Atul Krishna Dasa on behalf of the MI team
