Sabbatical 2011

After completing the bhakta course or similar training programme, sabbatical is an introduction to the ideal practice of KC, with the focus of internal development and application.

This will be two part programme with a focus on four areas:

Sanga (Association): Devotees need to experience deep relationships that everyone is yearning for, through selfless service towards each other with Krishna in the centre.

Sastra (Scripture): All the acharyas taught us that the greatest need for today is people who can live by the pure teachings of Krishna Consciousness.

Sadacara (Character): Philosophy without good character is useless.

Skills: Practical Skills are that central to vaisnava culture and lifestyle.
