For those of you who would like to view some glimpses of Mayapur life you will really appreciate this site.

I have imbedded a sample clip here. This clip is a short presentation of the school where I serve-Sri Mayapur International School (SMIS).



I guess while I am it I can say a few words about the school. It serves grades preschool through 12th Grade. Some of the students live in the ashram and others simply take the day school option. The campus is sattvic and always infused with educational and spiritual energy. One of the first things that I noticed when I started working here is how the older kids spontaneously have bhajan together during their breaks
I teach in the high school section of the school along with 5 or 6 other full time teachers. Additionally we have many local residents that come to share some of their knowledge and talents.
We use the prestigious Cambridge curriculum for the higher grades so that when they graduate they at least have an option to further their education at either a western university or the Bhaktivedanta College. The curriculum gives a lot of freedom for the teacher to deliver the content in a variety of fashions. We , of course, heavily stress the spiritual (vedic) view while delivering our lessons. We are also working with the Cambridge system to make our Bhakti Sastri curriculum officially part of the Cambridge system. While we do transmit basic facts and knowledge typical of high school curriculum, we primarily encourage kids to develop thinking skills, social skills and the ability to make mature informed decisions. It is our conviction that if the students are able to experience positive impressions early in their spiritual lives then they will be able to make mature choices about their spiritual and occupational lives in the future.

Personally this without a doubt the most satisfying service I have ever performed. The fact that we are able to daily serve these bright students gives us a sense of being a part of our spiritual preceptors' mission. By the way now that I have your attention, if you have ever had a desire to come and teach in this enchanting land of Mayapur and to serve the Vaisnava youth we are always looking for new teachers and facilitators to come on board.
