Graduation Day at Bhaktivedanta College

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.
