This training is an intensive version of the three-week program offered annually at Mayapur Academy. If we can learn the process of Deity worship as given by the authorities, then it will help us immensely to do it in a way that satisfies the Lord and helps us to develop our love for Him.

Systematically study Bhagavad-gita As It Is, Nectar of Devotion, Nectar of Instruction, and Sri Isopanisad, four of the most important bhakti texts in Gaudiya Vaishnava line, with our experienced teachers who have been studying, living by, and teaching Srila Prabhupada’s books for many years.

Learn principles of effective communication, how to listen properly and stir the conversation, become an expert presenter, and how to relate to media effectively through the series of lectures, exercises, and personal guidance from our expert teacher, Anuttama das (ACBSP).

We all experience that the quality of our relationships affects the quality of our lives, especially the relationship with our spouse. To have a happy and inspiring marriage it is important to have dedication but also certain skills which can be learned and practised. This course will help you with that!

The Nectar of Devotion provides a clear explanation of the different stages a bhakti-yoga practitioner goes through in order to achieve pure devotional service. It also gives us many details about this fascinating process as well as the loving affairs between Krishna and His devotees.

Krishna consciousness movement is conducted under Srila Rupa Goswami’s supervision. One of his most important works is The Nectar of Instruction where he teaches us how to start our spiritual lives, how to practice further, and how to attain the highest goal of life – Vraja bhakti.

Sri Isopanisad is one of the 108 principal Vedic scriptures known as the Upanishads. It is a conceptual and philosophical text, rather than a description of the Lord’s pastimes. Reading and studying this book can teach us how to re-spiritualize every endeavor of our actions.

After the section about karma (action) and a section about bhakti (devotion), we come to a section about jnana (knowledge). Please prepare yourself for receiving knowledge, ‘knowing which all the sages have attained the supreme perfection’, which will help you go home, back to Godhead.

Nestled between the karma yoga and jnana yoga sections, the treasure of bhakti, hidden in the middle six chapters of the Bhagavad-gita, is revealed to us along with the details of the intimate relationship between the Lord and His pure devotees, as well as different ways to become one.

Arjuna is bewildered by the most basic questions: ‘Who am I?’ ‘What am I meant to do?’ In the karma yoga section of Bhagavad-gita, the first six chapters, Lord Krishna, in response, explains to Arjuna the process of yoga and the basic transcendental knowledge needed to act in spiritual consciousness.
