    Dear Malatiji,
    Pranams,
    I must be missing the link for registration and payment for the course level 2, I’ve tried looking at the obvious options, store and courses in the menu but unable to spot it. Could you please guide me so I can complete the registration process.
    Warm regards,
    Manju

      Pranam dear Manju ji! Yes, this is not very clear. I also have to add the accommodation prices. We have no link, best is to just contact us via website or email and let us know that you want to register. Then you can send the fees either via Paypal (I will add the button again on the Frontpage) or by some other means.
      Looking forward to seeing you again in Vrindavan!
