Mark Your Calendar for Sastric Study & the Mercy of Navadvipa Dhama

[Guest guest]

Dear Devotees,

 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

Please allow me to quote from a Srimad Bhagavatam class that Devamrita Swami

just gave in Mayapur in which he postively referenced the Mayapur Institute

for Higher Education (MIHE) Bhakti-sastri Course:

 

"The contemporary mentality is, you can understand whatever you want. Go to

the bookstore, get a book. Go online do some research. You'll understand

everything. All the understandings are available to everyone. You don't need

to purify yourself. You don't need to have a qualified teacher. You yourself

are enough. It's amazing how - no it's not amazing - it's typical in

Kali-yuga how this attitude can affect even our own devotees. That is why it

is so important to absorb yourself in a concentrated study of

Srimad-Bhagavatam.

 

For example, here in Mayapur, you have the Bhakti-sastri programme. I've

heard from so many devotees who have studied Bhakti-sastri here in the holy

atmosphere of the dham that their lives were transformed by three or four

months of daily full time study of Srila Prabhupada books. They said it just

turned their whole life around. Why? Your life will become transformed when

one way or another when you deeply accept the principles, these sacred

principles of sastra, Bhagavad-gita, Srimad Bhagavatam. You have to think

about these things and allow your head and your heart to be challenged. That

is how you experience spiritual growth. Srila Prabhupada was expert at doing

that on his morning walks. He would challenge your conceptions, he would

challenge your assumptions, and then he would insert the real knowledge that

Lord Krsna gives.

 

Once we tame our ferocious mundane minds, then we can taste the sweetness of

Srimad-Bhagavatam. And tasting the sweetness of Srimad-Bhagavatam means

tasting the sweetness of knowledge about Krsna - krsna-tattva, knowledge

about Krsna's pastimes; just like Sukadeva Goswami is giving you a tour of

the universe. Lord Krsna also gives His tour. Other saintly persons, beside

Sukadeva Goswami, they give their tour."

 

We are eager to facilitate any devotee that would like to enter these

courses.

 

Hope you are well.

 

Your servant,

Janmastami dasa
