Diploma in Jaiva Dharma
This self-study course, titled "Jaiva-dharma: Attaining Kṛṣṇa-Prema," is meticulously crafted for individuals aged 15 and above who are eager to embark on a spiritual journey towards the highest realms of kṛṣṇa-prema (love for Lord Kṛṣṇa). The course centers around the profound teachings of Śrīla Bhaktivinode Ṭhākura as revealed in his seminal work, Jaiva-dharma. It elucidates the unblemished pristine love for the Supreme Absolute Whole, known as jaiva-dharma, which is experienced by the infinitesimal spiritual entity, the jīva. Furthermore, the course explores how this love, described as transcendental and unblemished, is integral to the mission of the Golden Avatāra, Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu, who sought to bestow it upon the fallen souls of the material creation.
