Literally meaning Devotional wisdom, the Bhakti Shastri course is one of the flagship courses at the School of Bhakti. Requiring dedication and commitment. It is one of the most in-depth courses on the Gaudiya Vaishnava Philosophy and is taught with a very experiential approach in mind. The course is clearly aimed at students actively practicing and desiring to really live the Bhakti tradition.

In line with living the Bhakti tradition, the course also looks at how to practically apply the Bhakti teachings in a dynamic way in everyday life.

The founder of the Hare Krishna movement, Srila Prabhupada wanted devotees and enthusiasts of the Bhakti tradition to systematically study the Gaudiya Vaishnava scriptures so they achieve a clear understanding and application of the science of devotional service. Thus, the inspiration for this visionary course came about.
