Śrīla Prabhupāda envisioned a systematic education of his books within ISKCON, and he personally designated various courses such as Bhakti Śāstrī, Bhakti Vaiḥbhava, Bhakti Vedānta, and Bhakti Sarvabhauma. In line with this vision, ISKCON Melbourne initiated its śāstric courses in 2003. These courses serve to cultivate a community founded on the spiritual principles presented in Śrīla Prabhupāda’s teachings. Our commitment lies in providing high-quality spiritual education at the local level, fostering a deeper understanding, practice and sharing of bhakti yoga.
