I feel that all full-time preachers and administrators should get the opportunity to take the Bhakti-sastri and Bhaktivaibhava Courses at some time during their devotional careers.

Prabhupada has given everything in his Bhaktivedanta purports to the first six Cantos of Srimad-Bhagavatam. We should take advantage of the legacy Prabhupada has left us through the medium of the Bhaktivaibhava Course. All serious aspiring madhyama-bhaktas should study Srila Prabhupada books at least to the level of bhaktivaibhava.

Why Shouldn’t We Just Study Srila Prabhupada’s Books On Our Own? Why Do We Need To Come To Mayapur To Take A Course?

It is a rare soul who can all alone maintain a systematic thorough study of the first six Cantos of Srimad-Bhagavatam. Most devotees find the course curriculum, the support of the facilitators, the association of fellow students and the mercy of Sri Dhama Mayapur essential components contributing to success in their studies. Srila Prabhupada specifically mentioned in various letters that he wanted his books to be studied in a systematic way and degrees awarded.

What Could I Expect If I Participated In The Mayapur Institute Bhaktivaibhava Course?

As with our Bhakti-sastri Course, we have designed our Bhaktivaibhava Course with clear aims and objectives, and we facilitate the course in a very interactive manner. The weekly schedule involves trained VTE facilitators conducting Structured Learning Classes and senior leaders and preachers facilitating Thematic Discussions. Facilitators will assign various types of project work during the course concluding with individual student presentations before final graduation.
