ONLINE ACCREDITTED UNIVERSITY !!
Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON ; SPIRITNET would like to invite devotees to participate in the creation of a fully accreditted university level series of courses leading to Bhakti Sastri etc. We already have some eight or so graduates from our five year courses, and recently a full university professor with PhD. in philosophy and ethics and religious studies has taken diksha and is teaching a Gita class. We hope to implement a more rigorous and world-standard set of courses online for devotees seeking excellence.
Devotees are surprised that we offer such degrees and have been doing so for several years now. WE ARE THE REAL FOLLOWERS OF SRILA PRABHUPADA. JOIN US, HELP US, LET US FIGHT MAYA TOGETHER.
Please join, take up a class, teach a class, bring new students, lets us cooperatively push on the Hare Krsna Movement. We could use so many volunteers, we could use a lot of money donated, kindly consider to what extent and degree you may wish to be invovled in a very important project for all ritvik devotees and all devotees, period.

Janardan Das ; Who performs the ritvik initiations up there?
Srila Prabhupada's Iskcon Spiritnet ; There are two elected presidents, we handle such requests. So far, roughly eight or ten have been arranged ; Abhaya Carana Seva dasa, Parvati dd, Shri Nrsngha Prabhu, Trinikrta trnavarta dasa, Dr. Ananta Sesa dasa, Vasudeva dasa; all solid and ongoing devotees. Brahminicals also provided via Srila Prabhupada's gayatri recordings. Suvarna Manjari took this brahminical only, no first diksha. Naveena Krsna dasi and Radha Rani dasa both split to other venues, Rasa Manjari blooped. One other devotee has been lost, presumed dead, as he was gravely ill. We do not charge anything for these services, having given our lives to Iskcon when young.
Janardan Das ;So is there a physical temple also or is this all done in someone's house or something?
Srila Prabhupada's Iskcon Spiritnet ;Each person's home is their own temple. We are too spread out as of yet and do not have enough money to build any ashramas etc. everyone gives money to the GBCIA, , but Srila Prabhupada's disciples get nothing .
Srila Prabhupada's Iskcon Spiritnet ;We bypass money and mundane authority totally, one can say, in a more positive note!
Srila Prabhupada's Iskcon Spiritnet ;We require almost zero money. Bangalore makes devotees at a quesstimated cost of 10,000.$ each, SPI does so at a guesstimated cost of $48.75. per devotee....
Srila Prabhupada's Iskcon Spiritnet; ... not counting the years of life given to the cause of course...
Janardan Das ;So the prospect disciple would have to travel to Canada to the temple presidents place of residence to become initiated? These devotees you names whom were initiated on behalf of srila prabhupada are all canooks?
Srila Prabhupada's Iskcon Spiritnet ; One Italian, one Cheesehead, One Hungarian, One Croatian, One New Zealander, 4 active Yanks. We seem to attract midwesterners to upper south America-wise?
Srila Prabhupada's Iskcon Spiritnet ; The devotees do fire sacrifices with local brahmanas or at home. they take oaths and sign, distribute books, chant 4 regs, beads etc. as usual, without the head shaving, and demonstrate their consciousness by being members at spi site, steadily over the course of one or two years. One can also ask for diksha after completing at least the Associate in Bhakti Sastri degree, takes about two years. Its much more rigorous than the old days simply moving into the temple, in some ways... in others, more dependent upon personal integrity and honesty. The magick is there fully, ask any member.
Srila Prabhupada's Iskcon Spiritnet ;
Srila Prabhupada's Iskcon Spiritnet this fire looks to me like Krsna with one arm up and wearing a crown, but call me nuts
Srila Prabhupada's Iskcon Spiritnet ;So far as I understand, ANY elected Temple President who is Srila Prabhupada's disciple can act as ritvik recommender, as was the system Srila Prabhupada always used.
Srila Prabhupada's Iskcon Spiritnet ; And, those thus initiated, when mature, can also act as TP's if they wish, and thus the apples spread out from the tree...but they must carry weight or a body of Vaisnavas will not elect or accept them as temple Presidents, of course.
Srila Prabhupada's Iskcon Spiritnet ; Thanks for the inquiries, Janardana Prabhu! Join the site, teach a class or two?
Janardan Das ; Thanks for the answers prabhu. With devotees so spread out far and wide and the mess in iskcon your online program seems like the natural course to bring like minded prabhupada devotees together for association. ...
Srila Prabhupada's Iskcon Spiritnet ; Janardan Prabhu, thanks for the inquiries and positive spin. Yes, my blessings upon all the disenfranchised devotees; may you soon be richer than Nalakuvera! Thats almost all of us, Prabhu, it was a sacrifice we all made, including your good self.
Srila Prabhupada's Iskcon Spiritnet ; Mr. Vijayakumara Prabhu; What do you think, sir?
