VTE Grihastha Training Course One
Created by the North American Grihastha Vision Team

Policy for Use and Dissemination
The Grihastha Vision Team represents a group of Vaisnava professionals who are certified family life educators, marriage and family therapists, certified marriage and family relationship instructors, and marriage educators, who collectively have experience in, training and commitment to the marriage and family arena.  We developed the curriculum for our course, Strengthening the Bonds That Free Us, after much prayer and many, many weeks of in-depth scriptural study, discussion and exploration of concepts, themes, paradigms, skills, individuals, historical background, and fundamental principles of Krishna conscious marriage and family life.
Therefore, we present the guidelines provided below to maintain the integrity and consistent teaching of the course, which we believe will preserve its ability to encourage, create and strengthen healthy Krishna conscious family life.  We request anyone who teaches our course to adhere to these guidelines.  
I.  Marital Status of Facilitators of the Course—In order to successfully model healthy Grhastha life, the NA Grihastha Vision Team originally designed the Grihastha Training Course to be taught by Grihastha Vision Team Facilitators consisting of husband and wife teams.  Therefore, the course is best taught by couples who can model husband and wife viewpoints.
II. Qualifications of Facilitators of the Course—The facilitators of the Course should be trained by members of the Grihasta Vision Team to keep the GVT perspective and ensure that all principles and values of healthy Grhastha life are presented.  Generally, training as a VTE Facilitators is not sufficient training for a course of this scope.   
III. Permisssion to Use Course—Use of the Course by non-Grihastha Vision Team members should first be approved by the North American Grihastha Vision Team. Please contact Krishnanandini devi dasi at  HYPERLINK "mailto:krsnanandinidevidasi@yahoo.com"
krsnanandinidevidasi@yahoo.com for more information.
IV. Royalties for Using Course—If permission is granted for the Course to be facilitated by non-Grihastha Vision Team Members, we request that such facilitators remit a royalty to the Grihastha Vision Team equal to $10 per student attending the Course. This royalty will be used to support the activities of the GVT such as producing books, courses and other services in their mission to strengthen and support marriages and families.
