Hare Krsns Dear Devotees,
Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
The Bhakti-Sastri degree, originally conceived by ISKCON's founder Srila Prabhupada, is a course where students systematically study key literature in the Gaudiya Vasihnava tradition.
This January, we successfully concluded the first Bhakti Shastri course offered by ISKCON of Silicon Valley under the leadership and guidance of H.H. Hanumat Preshak Swami Maharaja, H.G. Vaisesika Prabhu and H.G. Srivasa Pandita Prabhu.
The goals the course were:
- To be steadily and firmly fixed in chanting Hare Krishna and devotional service by understanding the siddhanta, the correct philosophical conclusions of the scriptures
- To improve our preaching and book distribution skills
- To obtain a Bhakti Shastri certificate and title as per Srila Prabhupada's instruction,
and thus please Srila Prabhupada, who spent so much time and energy to write, print and publish the Bhagavad-gita, Nectar of Devotion, Nectar of Instruction, and Sri Isopanisad.
Assessment included homework and closed book exams. The additional requirements were: good sadhana, brahminical tendencies, voluntary service, and book distribution.
Please join us at ISKCON of Silicon Valley, 951 South Bascom Avenue, San Jose, CA - 95128, at 5 pm PST, on Sunday April 8, 2012 to honor and congratulate the devotees who toiled hard for the past two years under the shelter of their preceptor H.G. Srivasa Pandita Prabhu. These noble souls will receive their degree certificate from the lotus hands of H.G. Vaisesika Prabhu!
Don't miss this transcendental moment!
Hari Bol.
Your servant
Shraddha-devi Dasi
