The classroom
This course is a continuation of the 5-year Bhakti Tirtha course. It is a unique opportunity to study Gaudiya Vaishnava scriptures in specific and the Sad Darshanas in general, which are necessary to understand Gaudiya philosophy properly. Such an opportunity may not come again because our lives are not eternal.
Jiva Institute for Vaisnava Studies
Therefore anybody who is serious about knowing the Gaudiya siddhanta in a systematic and lucid way and who can afford to come and study at Jiva Vrindavan for six months a year for the next five years, should not miss this opportunity.
New students are welcome but are recommended to listen to the previous recordings before the new semester starts.
