It is not too late to enroll in the MIHE

February 12, 2000

Dear Devotees,

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

We just finished the first week of the first Mayapur Institute of Higher

Education semester. More than 240 students are enrolled in twelve courses

offered by eight teachers.

About 110 students are taking English medium courses. Forty of these

students are from outside India. The rest are local western devotees and

devotees from other parts of India. We anticipate quite a few more

international students enrolling as devotees begin to arrive in Mayapur for

the GBC meetings and Mayapur Festival.

We have about 130 Bengali medium students enrolled in Bengali medium

courses.

I heard many comments from the teachers and students, and without fail

everyone involved feels there is a positive, uplifting mood and that the

courses are producing exciting and stimulating discussions. Bhakti Caru

Swami said, "I wanted this to happen in Mayapur for many years, and now it

is finally happening in a wonderful way. This will help many devotees."

Radhasyamasundara Prabhu, the Mayapur Festival manager, is predicting that

the Festival will draw fifty percent fewer devotees than usual, but we are

expecting fifty to a hundred more devotees to enroll in MIHE for the third,

fourth and fifth weeks.

In Mayapur you'll have easy access to serene places of study, potent places

of pilgrimage, a complete reference library, great association, gorgeous

Deities, enlivening morning and evening programs, nice accommodations, and

great prasadam.

We have an application deadline of February 16th for the 3rd and 4th weeks

and February 25 for the 5th week.

You can see our course schedule and descriptions at our website:

And then you can apply on line.

If you don't have internet access, please read the next letter in your

In-Basket.

We look forward to your association in Sridhama Mayapur.

Your servant,

Janmastami dasa
