Two of these courses in 2006 will be taught by prominent teachers, Smita Krishna Swami and Kadamba Kanana Swami.
Two of the Bhakti Sastri teachers:
Smita Krishna Swami & Kadamba Kanana Swami
Feedback from students:
“Fantastic! It was deep in the sense that it helped me apply and think about Krishna consciousness and gain an overview of ISKCON and where devotees fit in the world as persons.”
“There was a holistic approach, and it was my deep pleasure to be so absorbed in Srila Prabhupada’s books.”
“The course had a personal approach to learning. It encouraged the student not only to memorize the content of Srila Prabhupada’s books but to digest the philosophy and practically apply it.”

“In this way you have to understand, by studying carefully the philosophy. We have got so many books now and I want all of my disciples to read them carefully. Soon we shall be instituting Bhakti-sastri examinations and all brahmanas will have to pass. So utilize whatever time you find to make a thorough study of my books.”
(Letter from Srila Prabhupada to Upendra, 7th July 1976)
