ISKCON New Vrindaban recently hosted a 10-day Deity Worship Course facilitated by Nṛsiṁha Kavaca Dāsa of the ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry (IDWM). He was joined by a skilled teaching team consisting of Murali Manohar from England, Vraj Mohan Das, Rasa Devī Dāsī, and Nāmaruci Das. This year’s participation exceeded expectations, with 37 students registering—nearly double the ministry’s preferred class size. The IDWM typically aims for 26–30 participants, with a minimum of 20, to allow for personal attention and to meet basic financial needs for teachers and administrative support. Students are charged a flat fee to help sustain the ministry, while all other costs are handled separately.
With a desire to support the ministry and enhance Deity worship across North America, ISKCON New Vrindaban offered free accommodation and prasadam to all attendees. Students only covered their transportation and the standard course fee designated for the IDWM. Due to an unusual and unexpected registration glitch, the class size swelled to 37 participants. Rather than causing difficulty, the larger group generated heightened enthusiasm and energy throughout the training.
