MIHE at a glance/the 3rd, 4th & 5th weeks

[Guest guest]

Mayapur Institute of Higher Education

 

"...throughout the whole world there is no institution to impart education

in the matter of spiritual understanding. So we are going to open a big

center in Mayapur where this education will be internationally imparted.

Students from all parts of the world will go there to take education in this

important subject." Srila Prabhupada - 1971 letter

4) develop practical skills in preaching, worshiping, and living;
