"Those early days in Gita-Nagari were difficult for both me, as teacher, and my students. I was untrained and inexperienced, and I lacked teaching skills. Among my many vows of that period was to help train teachers so they would not need to learn as I was learning-the hard way, through trial and error. One result, therefore, of those early days of teaching is this book, The Art of Teaching." The Art of Teaching weaves together contemporary teaching strategies and the traditional Vedic system. The book includes more than 500 references from Srila Prabhupada's books, conversations, and letters, resulting in a volume of theoretical and practical information in harmony with Krsna consciousness. The Art of Teaching will assist all who teach Krsna consciousness to others: academic and asrama teachers, parents, administrators, and preachers in general. "If the children are given a Krsna conscious education from early childhood, then there is great hope for the future of the world."
