Yesterday, the whole Gurukula spent the day at Bhaktivedanta New Gokul Farm: Bhaktivedanta Manor's Cow Sanctuary and the organic farm. Here are some comments from our parents:
V could not stop telling me how much he enjoyed his day today thank you 🙏🏽 (parent of Year 3 pupil)

Thank you so much Mother Guna and your wonderful team. Lalita came home full of excitement after her day with you all. Im sure it wasnt easy for you as teachers to be off-site. A heartfelt thank you for going above and beyond. (parent of Year 4 pupil)

Looks like an amazing day! Narottam was telling me how much he loved cuddling the cows and brushing them. Thank you so much for organising these wonderful hands on experiences for the children! (parent of year 6 pupil)

The children enjoyed a visit from Bhakti Sundar Goswami Maharaja yesterday.
He told us two stories: one about an eagle who thought he was a chicken and another about a parrot who was trapped in a cage.
The moral of the stories are that our guru will show us our true identity as a spirit soul and how to get out of material suffering.

After our auspicious Rādhā Abhishek Mahotsava, Vrindavan Class children were inspired by a visit to their classroom from Sri Sri Radha Vinod Bihari to draw and paint images of Srimati Radharani using watercolours.

🌸 Hare Krishna! 🌸

A very warm welcome back to Gurukula! We’re excited for a new year filled with discovery, laughter and happy memories. 💛

We began the term with a beautiful Vidyarambha ceremony and yajna, praying for the blessings of Lord Krishna and the Vaishnavas for our new Reception children as they begin their Gurukula journey.

May their first year be filled with joy, wonderful experiences and many blessings! 🙏🌺

Hare Krishna!

Our Year 6 students were invited to the House of Lords by Lord Raval of Hertsmere OBE. They had a wonderful time and found the visit really interesting. Here is a letter I received from Lord Raval.

"The Gurukula children who visited me in Parliament, and their parents, should know they were a credit to their families, their school and their faith. They asked searching questions, and when I invited them to chant in committee, they answered readily, the Mahamantra rising in call and response - my team and I were enchanted.

Some of us have waited until our late forties to be heard in Parliament. Gurukula’s Year 6, at just 11, made history: the first children of that age, in a thousand years of parliamentary tradition, to chant the Mahamantra in an official committee room.

When I asked how many wanted to be Prime Minister one day, several hands shot up. Every one of them is a leader already - I watch their unlimited futures with immense anticipation."
