information on Bhaktivedanta course in VIHE

[Guest guest]

Dear Devotees,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

 

On November 28, 2006, VIHE begins the Bhaktivedanta course, study of

Srimad-Bhagavatam Cantos 7,8 & 9.

 

Srila Prabhupada envisioned four levels of study of his books:

Bhakti-sastri, Bhakti-vaibhava, Bhakti-vedanta and Bhakti-sarvabhauma. VIHE

is endeavoring to establish these degrees and thus provide an opportunity

for higher studies in Krsna conscious philosophy to interested devotees. For

the past four years devotees have been coming each summer to study Cantos

One to Six of Srimad Bhagavatam under the guidance of His Grace Bhurijana

Dasa and Her Grace Narayani Dasi. Having completed the Bhakti-vaibhava part

of the study, we are now moving into the study of the later cantos of Srimad

Bhagavatam according to the following schedule:

- Cantos 7,8 & 9: Semester 2006-07

- Canto 10 (Vrindavana-lila): Semester 2008

- Canto 10 (Mathura-Dvaraka-lila): Semester 2009

- Cantos 11 & 12: Semester 2010

 

It is advised to begin one's study from the very beginning of Srimad

Bhagavatam in order to derive complete benefit. However, such course is

rarely held. Therefore all devotees wishing to join are invited to submit

their application to the VIHE office before November 5.

 

Classes will be held from Tuesday to Friday, twice a day, throughout the

course.

The opening ceremony will be held on November 28, 2006.

 

Requirements: Good sadhana, brahminical tendencies, good knowledge of Srimad

Bhagavatam, proficiency in English and voluntary service. You must also have

a recommendation from a senior devotee in good standing who knows you well.
