MIHE Schedule

BY JANMASTAMI DASA

MAYAPUR, INDIA, Feb 13 (VNN) — Dear Devotees,

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

Sri Caitanya Bhagavata declares that when a devotee studies in Navadvipa Dhama, then vidya-rasa, the taste for learning, awakens within his heart. As ISKCON grows, always hopeful of achieving the footing of a genuinely brahminical culture, MIHE offers its contribution in the very place where Nimai Pandita exhibited vidya-rasa, as Sri Dvija-mani, the jewel of the twice-born. True education is based upon brahminical culture and vidya-rasa.

To accelerate educational development within ISKCON, the MIHE has adopted a "no-service charge" policy on all of its courses for all full-time teachers in ISKCON primary, secondary, and tertiary schools, as well as for any current or former students of these primary and secondary schools (Click for details).

The Mayapur Festival Committee expects that more devotees will attend this year's Gaura Purnima Festival than in any previous Gaura Purnima Festival. In spite of the large turnout, devotees will have full facility to take shelter in serene MIHE classrooms where senior Vaisnavas and Vaisnavis will facilitate 28 courses that will help students enter into deeper understandings of Srila Prabhupada's teachings, mood, and mission.

Because of the large enrollment expected, we encourage devotees interested in taking classes to go to the MIHE website at http://www.mihe.info to register online, thus ensuring placement in preferred courses. This is important because teachers in many of our courses limit course enrollment in order to optimize learning. Anyone who registers and pays online automatically qualifies for a 10 % discount on service charges for the semester courses. Online semester registration ends January 21st.

Until January 21st, devotees may also preregister online, which guarantees availability of course materials on the first day of classes for courses with no limits and wait-lists placement in courses that do have limits. Preregistered students may remit their service charges upon arrival in Mayapur.

Atul Krishna and Madhavendra Puri Prabhus, two of ISKCON's most experienced and effective sastric teachers, will offer ISKCON's first VTE Bhaktivaibhava Course. Due to the interactive nature of this course, we will limit enrollment to 35 students, on a first-come first-serve basis. If at all possible, please register online to reserve your spot. We are also pleased to announce our 2004 - 2005 VTE Bhakti-sastri Course schedule and the line-up of facilitators.

We are looking forward to your association in Sridhama Mayapur and to serving your learning and spiritual needs. Please let us know if we may be of any assistance as you plan your pilgrimage to Mayapur by writing to us at mihe@pamho.net

Details on the "no-service charge" policy for teachers and current or former students of ISKCON primary and secondary schools:

We ask that devotees in these categories remit fees to cover the cost of course material. We will wait-list these devotees for any course with an enrollment limit until the course begins because of the large number of students expected this year. Former students of ISKCON schools must present proof of ISKCON school enrollment from either the schools or from the Youth Ministry before entering classes.
