Be Part of an Educational Awakening

[Guest guest]

Dear Devotees,

 

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

 

Vaisnava Training and Education (VTE) is now in it sixth year of operation,

providing devotees with training in "aims-driven" and "principle-based"

education. Devotees who have taken VTE courses typically experience

tremendous increases in their capacity to preach, conduct seminars, and

communicate effectively.

 

Comments from devotees who have taken VTE courses:

 

"It was a real eye-opener. I use what I learned in every seminar I conduct.

It is a very useful course."

HH Jayapataka Swami

 

"I'm always thinking how I can improve my teaching by using the inspiring

methods I learned, and when I use them both my students and I are enlivened.

The course was a milestone in my teaching career."

Sri Kari dd

 

"If you want some inspiration to get involved in education then somehow or

other take one of the VTE courses."

Atitaguna dd

 

So what is education all about?

 

On May 11, 1976, in a lecture, Srila Prabhupada said, "If we are

not changing our character, then what is the use of advancement of

knowledge, education?"

 

ISKCON is in a period of rapid change. To go in a positive direction,

devotees must have strong character. Education helps define and bring out

good character in devotees, so any positive change in ISKCON must be based

on education.

 

Education should equip devotees to deal with the hard questions they must

face in management, preaching, and their personal and social life.

 

VTE and MIHE invite you to help create an educational revolution that will

renew and strengthen Srila Prabhupada's movement.
