This course will analyze how spiritual science has its own system thinking and how we can better understand and value it if we analyze and compare its system with modern reductionist systems.
We will also thoroughly analyze and discuss the 7 purposes of ISKCON (the foundational document of ISKCON) and how to achieve them.
A system is a method to achieve results. Each training implies a system and continuous improvement which offers critical paths to minimize failures and mistakes on the way. SYSTEM THINKING is part of learning or training organization, which ISKCON is. System thinking allows the ordinary devotee to perform extraordinary results. The person being oriented will seek to correct any failure with the person. The system being oriented will seek to correct any failure in the system.
Student reviews:
1. The course gives one the basis to rethink Srila Prabhupada's instructions from the perspective of Varnasrama Dharma.
2. The topics opens a devotee's minds to creatively thinking of new possibilities (without going outside the realms of Guru, Sadhu and Sastra).
3. This course gave me extensive knowledge and new dimension of thinking about how things are carried out in Iskcon by holistic system and how our 7 purposes of iskcon are connected with Varnashrama.
