This morning I read a posting by Vijaya Dasa, ISKCON’s Minister of Book Distribution, in which he relates an interesting encounter he had heard described after one of his classes:

nana-desa haite loka navadvipe yaya
navadvipe padile se ‘vidya-rasa’ paya

“Many people came from various provinces to study in Navadvipa because by studying there one achieved a taste for education.”

laksa, koti adhyapaka, nahika niscaya

“Therefore no one could count the innumerable students and millions of teachers gathered there.”
