Batteries Need a Charge?

Come churn the nectar with us in Mayapur for the 2002 Mayapur Institute of Higher Education (MIHE) Courses.

The MIHE has arranged its schedule so that the devotees can enter the MIHE at the beginning of any week of the semester since new courses start each week. The schedule also allows MIHE students to fully participate in the Gaura Purnima Festival.

Incidentally, this will be the thirtieth annual Gaura Purnima Festival and so far more than fifteen GBC's will commit themselves to staying on after the GBC meetings to participate in either the MIHE or Festival seminars. This will be a great opportunity to really get to know our leaders better.

The MIHE asks no tuition fees from present or former gurukula students, and from active primary, secondary, or tertiary school teachers from ISKCON or ISKCON affiliated schools.

Please check the MIHE website at http://www.mayapur.org/mihe/ for information on MIHE's no tuition policy for the Bhakti-sastri course, for other details, and to apply for enrollment in MIHE courses.

The MIHE administration and teachers are looking forward to serving you in Sri Dhama Mayapur. Please let the MIHE administration know if it can be of any assistance in charging your transcendental batteries.
