Transformational Experience

At Mayapur Institute, we employ Vaishnava Training and Education method of teaching. Unique feature of this method is that it stresses on the application of sastric theories

Upon successfully completing these sastric programs, the students walk away as different person with a different vision of the world based on the sacred texts.

Together, professors and students create a supportive, close-knit scholarly community energized by lectures, group works, role-plays, dramas and parikramas

The Mayapur Experience - Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura explains in his Sri Navadvipa-Dhama-Mahatmya, that while most holy places reduce in potency during the Kali Yuga, only Sri Mayapur actually continues to increase in its potency. Srila Prabhupada also stated that any service done in Mayapur is worth one thousand times the same service done elsewhere. From this perspective, one can see how valuable the experience to study in Sri Mayapur Dhama is.

This is a place with incessant flow of unlimited mercy, where you experience deep spiritual realizations and get a unique experience of learning scriptures.

Sri Mayapur Dham is filled with boundless bliss with so many festivals lined up every month, gorgeous darshan of the deities, wonderful morning programs, enlivening Srimad Bhagavatam class by many senior vaishnavas, bathing experience in Ganga, Parikrama to nearby holy places – and the list is endless.

As many students expressed, it is an incredible and unforgettable experience at Mayapur.

Mayapur is Spiritual World

“Mayapur is spiritual world... And...you become more determined to become Krsna Conscious when you read Srila Prabhupada’s books here”-H.H. Gopala Krishna Goswami

“Outside in the world- unimaginable things are going on, the way people treat each other. There is no heart and consciousness in this world! Is there no response required to the godlessness and cruelty? What hope is there in this world? ...that hope is being reflected here by Mayapur Institute. This is the place where the compassion of the Lord is born, exhibited and taught..”

– H.G. Sesa Das, ISKCON GBC and Minister of Education
