Twenty-one students successfully completed another academic year at Bhaktivedanta College, and a graduation ceremony took place on June sixteenth. The room became crowded. The tired but satisfied undergraduates and staff were joined by cheering temple devotees, friends and supporting members, and a few proud parents.
The evening celebration began with a bhajan led by the students. This
year's honored guests were His Holiness Lokanath Swami and a former
student, Lilasuka Dasa. Jaya Krishna Dasa, the Administrator Officer,
coordinated the agenda and spoke about the successful seventh academic
year. Yadunandana Swami, the Principal, reminded students of their
accomplishments and described the skills gained in the devotional,
vocational and academic modules. Our supporting members were reminded
of the college's exceptional aim: training leaders and scholars to
contribute to ISKCON. Lokanath Swami offered his utmost support to the
college and enlightened the audience about Srila Prabhupada's own
experience in the field of education and his instructions on spiritual
education.

"Welcome, everyone, to the opening ceremony of our library at Bhaktivedanta College," said Jaya Krishna Dasa, the Administrative Director of the college, on Sunday, May 17th. "We are very happy that after one and a half years, we can now use this part of our building and give our students a nice place to concentrate on their studies."
The ceremony marked a big step in the college's history, which was reflected on the happy faces at the inauguration. Recently, the college staff began using its new offices, which are on the floor below the library. The library, with 6000 books, provides an orderly environment for study, and the offices provide space for nine staff members.
