Guest guest Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 Gauranga Dharma University Of Vedic Studies offering FREE online courses of Vaishnava Studies. Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krsna! All glories to Srila Prabhupada, Srila Gaurangapada and all Vaisnavas. Please accept my humble obeisances and blessings. I pray that this meets you well and in the service of both Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga. Tulsi Nityananda dasi Mataji with 18 yr of service on KC and I (Nitaipada Maharaja)24 yr of service on KC would like to welcome you to the Gauranga Dharma University of Vedic Studies. Our beloved Spiritual Master, His Holiness Tridandi Bhikshu Srila Bhaktiratna Sadhu Swami Gaurangapada Maharaja, has given this monumentous task to us to establish an online place of learning for the science of Shri Gauranga (Chaitanya) Mahaprabhu realization. Shrila Gaurangapada has taught us that without a complete in depth understanding of Shri Shri Nitai-Gauranga, we will never come to a complete understanding of Shri Shri Radha-Krsna. This is the purpose of this University. Gauranga Dharma University of Vedic Studies is completely non- sectarian. It is not our purpose to proselyte members for Gauranga Dharma, but to teach, inspire, and assist in the advancement of spiritual knowledge. We do not discriminate about which Gaudiya Vaisnava Math or Guru one associates with or has taken shelter of, it may be any of the many branches of the tree of Shri Gauranga Mahaprabhu. We respect, adore and worship all the bonafide branches of Gaudiya Vaishnavism. What we are concerned about is the spreading of the Holy Names and Maha Mantra coming to a complete understanding of Vaishnava philosophy as it pertains to the revealed scriptures by our Acaryas. If you feel the same, you can please join us. Tulsi Mataji and I have decided to completely monitor this group for this reason. We come together to learn, study and advance our own sadhana, not to promote our particular Math or Gurudev or to minimize any other group in any way. We respect the devotion of all the bonafide Gaudiya Vaishnavas and thus proper Vaisnava etiquette will be observed at all times. Vaisnava aparadha will not be tolerated, we are here to learn, not offend anyone within the Vaisnava community. Vaisnava aparadha will bring about an immediate banning from the group. If offense has occurred, re-admittance will be allowed after a period of time and after all parties concerned have settled their differences. Our purpose is to come to a complete understanding of Shri Shri Gaura-Nitai and ultimately that of Sri Sri Radha-Krsna. There are four levels in the Gauranga Dharma University of Vedic Studies. Each will have its own degree course and special award for excellence that will be issued by the GDUVS and signed by Shrila Gaurangapada upon completion of each level. Also, there may be books that one may be required to purchase, but these are your books and they will further advance your sadhana. Also we will try to provide the ebooks for free. Below is a list of the four levels, and the books that are required for each level. All books are easily obtainable. Chances are you already have most of them, if not all. Online classes begin in June 14,2004. These courses are set up so that there is no failure. You may take the exams, as many times as you feel is necessary to become proficient with the knowledge. Our email addresses will be available to you at all times so that you can contact us with any questions concerning Shri Shri Gaura-Nitai, materials or general topics. There will be two classes weekly. Each class will have four or five questions that you need to cover the reading. At the end of four classes, a questionnaire will be given to see if there are any problems that need to be addressed. Plus there will GDU Audio Chat Rooms on Paltalk or frequently which you will be informed about. And there will be Discussion Category for GDUVS on the Gauranga Dharma Forums where you can give your suggestions and comments on how to improve the GDU. Also we are planning for a Webpage or at least a Blog for the GDU soon. Admissions for the GDUVS online are now open.
