Bhakti Sashtri Classes

“Please come and sit down and hear about Krsna – sravanam. If you simply continue, if you do not do anything, I guarantee that if you simply come here and hear about Krsna, you will be liberated.” - Srila Prabhupada on Bhagavad-gita, 4.23, Bombay April 12, 1974.

Bhakti Shastri course consists of the in-depth study of four fundamental books about the philosophy of Krishna consciousness: Bhagavad-gita, Nectar of Devotion, Nectar of Instruction & Sri Isopanisad. This app has been developed as an aid to help people understand these four fundamental books of Gaudiya vaishnavism.
