About Us
The Mayapur Institute, a project of the Sridham Mayapur Development Foundation, is unparalleled in the knowledge and understanding of Gaudiya Vaishnava culture and philosophy that it imparts to students. The Institute’s vision and activities are inspired by the teachings of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder-acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
Notwithstanding the academic education obtained in the outside world, students who come to the Mayapur Institute acquire training and skills in practice of devotional services as taught by Srila Prabhupada. Our programs are based on systematic and scrutinizing study of Srila Prabhupada books.
The Mayapur Institute also offers teacher training courses to train students to become effective teachers. The students are thus taught to apply Gaudiya Vaishnava teachings, educate others and become empowered emblems of the glorious heritage of our acharyas. Graduated students are equipped with leadership skills required to perpetuate our mission and thus reform the misguided and suffering society in which we now live.
Situated in the holiest of holy places, Sri Mayapur Dham, the idyllic and spiritually powerful ambience provides students the opportunity to connect deeply with Lord Caitanya, His associates, His devotees, and His exceptional mercy.
The Mayapur Institute also provides a unique development field for piloting and refining new educational initiatives at its exclusive campus with the goal of propagating Lord Chaitanya’s teachings during His Golden Age which began five hundred years ago.
People today are hankering for spiritual guidance. Modern society deserves spiritual leaders who are well trained and educated. The Mayapur Institute humbly invites you to realize your full potential and become a beacon of enlightenment for the world. Welcome to the Mayapur Institute.
