About Gopa Kuteeram
What is Gopa Kuteeram?
‘Gopa Kuteeram’ is a worldwide youth program, conducted by Global Organization for Divinity, that aims to enrich and strengthen young minds.
It is based on the devotional path of Bhagavata Dharma, which has as its basis, chanting of the Divine Name (kIrtanam), listening to divine stories (shravaNam), and thus remembering Bhagavan (smaraNam).
The program is inspired by the teachings and philosophy of His Holiness Maharanyam Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji and has been structured under his divine guidance.
A Note to Parents from our Master
To impart knowledge, 'vidya dAnam‘, is considered the greatest of all dAnam (charitable giving). The quest to learn is one common driving force for all life forms. The process of learning is not merely confined to the walls of a classroom. Every move we make, every situation we encounter, every place we go to, everyone we interact with in the journey of our life, is learning too! In that sense, life itself is the greatest teacher of all.
The ultimate purpose of learning is not just knowledge-gain. The consummation of learning lies in development into a complete individual. This constitutes the very objective of Gopa Kuteeram, which aims at providing holistic growth to children across the world, complementing their regular school curriculum.
‘Gopa Kuteeram’ means the blissful association of Bhagavan Sri Krishna's companions. The motto is 'Learn Krishna; Learn Yourself'. Sri Krishna epitomizes bliss, purity, selflessness, perfection, totality, compassion, wisdom, fine values, beauty, finesse, inspiring leadership and fine culture. In short, He represents the best of everything.
At Gopa Kuteeram, we aim at multidimensional growth that focuses on our time-honoured traditions, value system, art, laced with devotion in a fun-filled environment.
It is our prayer to Madhuri Sakhi sameta Sri Premika Varadan that every child that completes Gopa Kuteeram evolves into fine, complete individual, who is productive to the family, society, nation, and the world at large.
Radhe Radhe!
- Maharanyam Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji
