Mayapur Academy: The Deity Dressing Unit in Hindi has started this week. Students first learned the theories of art as well as the importance of not scratching the deities head, not even a practice head. The students were asked to first pin pieces of paper to their classmates head to stress the importance of treating the deity as a person.
Each student receives so much hands on assistance during this unit. Head facilitator Kurma Chaitanya prabhu and his assistant Krishna Kanta prabhu spend time with each devotee to make sure they understand how to demonstrate each of the principals of art they have learned earlier in the week. Mayapur Academy would also like to thank the dedicated translators and helpers Bimala Prasad prabhu and Ananda Lila mataji.
