Just a ‘heads up’ if you’re interested in attending the next ISKCON Disciple Course. It is scheduled for the ANZAC Day long weekend (in late April), not the Easter weekend (in early April). We will post the Course dates when they have been finalised.
Please go to the ISKCON Disciple Course page to register. This is the ideal way to give us your contact information.
If you are unable to register online, you may direct your inquiries to Kasturika Mataji (in Reception). She is kindly managing the invitations.

ISKCON Disciple Course Mandatory for Initiation
Are you preparing for initiation?
Please note that ISKCON's Governing Board Commission has resolved that "the ISKCON Disciple Course [IDC]...shall be a mandatory pre-requisite for all devotees accepting first or second initiation by an ISKCON guru, effective Janmastami, 2015 [September the 6th. in Melbourne].
After that date, no guru may initiate a disciple who has not first completed the Disciple Course. This is in addition to current requirements of new initiates." (Minutes of the AGM, Sri Mayapur Dham, February 19 – March 2, 2014, Section 317: http://gbc.iskcon.org/gbc_res/GBCRES14.html)
Melbourne Yatra began applying this standard in 2014.
If you are preparing for first or second initiation, you have around seven months to complete the Disciple Course. The next Course may be held at Easter time.
You can register your interest by visiting our IDC page.

Middle Park Primary School
Report by: Navadwipa Isvari Dasi
"We were all very excited to be back at Middle Park Primary School to present our Vedic India program to the 4 groups of preps.
This time Middle Park Primary prep teacher wanted us to do workshops on Music and Dance as well as Traditional Wear.
The prep st
udents were full of energy and participated enthusiastically in all aspects of the workshops. They enthusiastically attempted to answer any questions put before them during our interactive PowerPoint presentations and also attempted to complete all the activities put before them.
Principal Mr Tim Newton thanked us for our wonderful contributions towards their prep incursion day. Everyone had a great time and our Festival of Vedic India team are really looking forward to going back again next year."
