Srila Prabhupada promises us in the Nectar of Devotion that even a neophyte can experience transcendental ecstasy and make rapid advancement by engaging in these five potent forms of devotional service: studying the Srimad Bhagavatam in Vaisnava sanga, associating with advanced devotees, living in the holy dhama, chanting the holy name of the Lord, and worshipping the Deity with love and devotion. In the Caitanya-caritamrta, Krishna dasa Kaviraja Gosvami describes that even a slight performance of this panca-anga bhakti awakens love for Krishna.

The Mayapur Institute for Higher Education and Training (MIHET) will provide an environment conducive for devotees to practice these five potent forms of devotional service to their hearts content. Participants in our courses will have easy access to serene places to study, potent places of pilgrimage, great association, gorgeous Deities to worship, an enlivening morning program, nice accommodations, and great prasadam.

There are now over 1900 ISKCON devotees throughout the world who have Bhakti-sastri degrees. This is undoubtedly very pleasing to Srila Prabhupada, who vigorously encouraged his leaders to establish the sastric degree program.

Now the Mayapur Institute for Higher Education and Training (MIHET) has developed a unique facility for Bhakti-sastri graduates to easily take the next step up the systematic sastric study ladder with the Bhaktivaibhava Course by reducing time away from their prabhu-datta-desas by 50%.
