Srila Prabhupada says:
"The Personality of Godhead may not be present before one's eyes, but if one is sincere in wanting such guidance the Lord will send a bona fide person who can guide one properly back home, back to Godhead." - SB 2.7.
What do the worldwide students say:
Kavi Karnapura Das (Nigeria)
"To be frank and sincere, it has been all wonderful experiences. Although before I came to Mayapur Academy I could dress the Deity but I could not explain the principles and elements behind the decoration. Studying these with Kurma Caitanya Prabhu was an out of this world experience. Performing fire yajnas is another special experience I will never forget about Mayapur Academy. Before I came here, I did not have any theoretical or practical knowledge of how to perform simple initiation fire sacrifices although I have been seeing people doing this many times. But now, I am confident to perform this anywhere and at any time after studying this with Ananda Tirtha Prabhu in Mayapur Academy."
Saci Kumar Das (South Africa)
"Before the course began, I was expecting it to deal exclusively with the worship of the Deity and different elements directly related to Deity worship. However I was surprised to see that it's actually aimed at developing all aspects of brahminical life. Particularly inspiring was the aspect of the cultivation of community through brahminical activity which is a much needed function in our ISKCON communities worldwide. Also striking was to get a glimpse into the vastness of brahminical culture.
For me the highlight of the Mayapur Academy is the wonderful association we receive daily of Jananivas and Pankajanghri Prabhus. They have selflessly for so many years served in Sridham Mayapur and to be a recipient of their realizations and experience is very powerful."
