Those parents who attended our Open Day celebration at the end of last term may remember the encouraging speech given by His Grace Sesa Prabhu, the ISKCON Minister for Education.
Yesterday we attended the Gaura Purnima program here in Mayapur, and it just confirms to me more and more the incredible opportunity we have to perform devotional service here in Mayapur.
Just yesterday I visited one of our teachers at 6 o'clock in the evening to discuss some school matters, and found that one of her students and his mother were at the teacher's house doing practice writing for English letters.
As educational institutions, schools need to focus student's attention on the essential aspects of learning, what it means to be a student, and what is the goal of the insitution.
As followers of Srila Prabhupada and the holy Vedic scriptures, we have clear guidance on what is the essential aspects of our learning. In Bhagavad-gita, the essence of Vedic knowledge, Sri Krishna speaks in verse 4.34 of what is the essential qualification of a student of Vedic knowledge.
Dear Parents,
Please accept my respectful obeisances.
