Paoho... Many devotees have asked us about doing systematic study of Srimad Bhagavatam etc. Of course, the basis is association. Find teachers, study-partners and students.

You can do focused seminars. Eg. One week on Rupa-siksa, CC 2.19.

You can do Srila Prabhupada's four diplomas, Bhakti Sastri etc.

If we look at our Nila-madhava Dhama, (ISKCON Hugh's Town) several of them have finished their Bhakti Vaibahva diploma and want to do Bhakti Vedanta. In response we would suggest the individual Brahmanas have a little coordination with the administration to promote a Bhakti Vedanta Study Group (BVSG), and even broadcast this to their broader audience outside of Houston eg. College Station etc.

Then, individually, those devotees can formally register with an online program like Gauranga Darshana Das Vidya pitha (Govardhana Ecovillage) or the Bhagavata Maha-vidyalaya near Govardhana.

These institutions can take care of the bureaucracy and infrastructure while the Nila-madhava devotees can have informal physical association eg. sit together and watch and discuss recorded classes, submit examinations at the same time.

Later if the Nila-madhava yatra has more demand they can develop the classes themselves.

Please give your ideas on this program.
