Online Hindi IDC Course to Highlight Śrīla Prabhupāda’s Role and Guru-Tattva
A new offering of the ISKCON Disciples Course (IDC) will be conducted in Hindi this fall, from September 29 to October 3, 2025, providing devotees with a structured opportunity to deepen their understanding of the guru-disciple relationship within the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
The course, delivered primarily in Hindi with a small portion in English, will be held online via Zoom from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM IST daily. Designed in alignment with the teachings of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, the IDC is a foundational course for those seeking to take spiritual initiation in ISKCON, as well as for those who simply wish to strengthen their relationship with Śrīla Prabhupāda and the paramparā.
Throughout the five-day course, participants will explore the different types of guru and their distinct roles in the life of a disciple, including a focused study of Śrīla Prabhupāda as the pre-eminent śikṣā guru in ISKCON. Key topics will include the principles of guru-pada-āśraya (taking shelter of the spiritual master), the responsibilities of a disciple, the etiquette and service owed to the guru, and an overview of the initiation process within the ISKCON tradition.
The IDC has been taught in many parts of the world and serves not only as a preparatory step for formal initiation but also as a means of cultivating a deeper spiritual identity. With this Hindi-language edition, the course aims to reach a wider audience in the Indian subcontinent and Hindi-speaking communities worldwide.
Registration for the course is currently open. Interested participants can register online through the official form here.
