Reviews of the course by past participants:

 

"This is the best thing to happen to my devotional

life since I took

initiation. If everyone in the movement took this

course, it would be a different movement." --Gopala

dasa, Mayapur.

 

"I wish to again THANK YOU for your Mayapur seminar

entitled Vaishnava Minister Counseling Course.

Attending it was a highlight of my India pilgrimage;

Vishakha and I found ourselves repeatedly discussing

its merits." --Yamuna dasi

 

More than a dozen sannyasis and GBCs participated in

this course when it was taught in Mayapur earlier this

year. The course was also taught to the staff of the

Vaisnava Training and Education Institute in England

and they found great value in it.
