Srila Prabhupada incorporated his worldwide mission with deep concern for the suffering humanity. He outlined seven purposes, which capsulized the essence of his mission. In these seven purposes Srila Prabhupada has immensely stressed on education.

Srila Prabhupada wanted to provide opportunity for all people to gain a systematic understanding of the profound Vedic scriptures.

Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakura mentioned in a letter to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura in 1910:

“Saraswati! I had a special desire to preach the significance of such books as Srimad Bhagavatam, Satsandarbha and Vedantadarshan. You have to accept that responsibility. Sridham Mayapur will prosper if you establish an educational institution there”

Also, Srila Prabhupada wrote in a letter to Atreya Rishi Prabhu in August 20th 1971:

“Throughout the whole world there is no institution to impart knowledge in the matter of spiritual understanding. So we are going to open a big centre in Mayapur where this education will be internationally imparted. Students from all parts of the world will go there to take education in this important subject.”

All the previous Gaudiya Vaishnava acharyas – Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur, Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakura and Srila Prabhupada desired to establish educational institute at Sridham Mayapur for the benefit of devotees worldwide.

To fulfill this vision of the previous acharyas, Mayapur Institute (MI) was established in the year 2000. Since the launch of the Institute in 2000, over 3500 students of various race, ethnicity, gender, and economic status coming from various places like USA, UK, Russia, China, Australia, Africa, Europe, etc. have been benefited immensely from different courses at MI.

Due to significant growth in student enrollment every year, the current Mayapur Institute classrooms and offices are inadequate. Hence, MI had embarked on setting up an exclusive campus at Mayapur.

Now, Phase-1 of the Campus Project is almost ready and the time has come to offer this to the previous acharyas for their pleasure.

3^rd July is going to be a historical event as the vision of the acharyas will start to unfold, creating facility for hundreds of students to come to Mayapur to study the scripture.

Mayapur Institute invites everyone to witness this wonderful historic event.
