Once the student fills up the registration form, he/she will be assigned under a guide, who will assist the student for assessments.

Class Style: Devotees who can match the timing and wish to join realtime class via Zoom, can join classes on Saturday, Sunday, Monday & Tuesday 9.30-10.30 AM (Indian Time). Devotees residing in Sri Mayapur Dham can physically come and join the class at our campus in Mayapur. The same class recordings will be shared in the common group with all.

Course Donation: $ 30 or 2108 Rs

Studying and teaching sastra cannot be measured by any monetary exchange and should be for free. Therefore we are asking for a nominal amount of donation for our basic maintaince of the online and onsite classroom setup, equipments, campus, staffs etc. Kindhearted and able devotees are welcome to contribute more as per capacity. Devotees eager to study Srimad Bhagavatam but having financial issues can contact us separately.

The guide does not take the responsibility to motivate or push the student to complete the assessment.
