Last month, Bhaktivedanta National School (BVNS) in Swarupganj marked its first anniversary with an inspiring celebration. The event was held at the Natmandir, a newly constructed monument dedicated to Radhapriti Devi Dasi and Sankarsan Das, both disciples of Srila Prabhupada.
This Annual Day Celebration of the new branch of BVNS reflected the school’s commitment to academic excellence infused with spiritual values. BVNS stands as an example of holistic education, blending the CBSE curriculum with the timeless wisdom of Sanatana Dharma, ensuring an affordable, value-based learning experience for Swarupganj and its neighboring communities.
The anniversary celebrations commenced with kirtan, as students, faculty, and devotees joined in the welcoming of Srila Prabhupada, which was followed by a series of student performances at noon. A total of thirty-one students participated, beginning with a sacred invocation and recitation of Bhagavad-gita verses, which was followed by rhymes from the youngest children, Krishna’s enchanting childhood pastimes, and enthralling renditions of Putana Vadh, Makhanchor Lila, Bakasur Vadh, and Kaliya Nag Daman.
Special guests and dignitaries who honored the event with their presence included Subheksana Das, Co-Director of ISKCON Mayapur; Harilila Das, Divisional Head of Mayapur Hospital and Member of ISKCON Mayapur Development Services; and Anuttama Gopi Devi Dasi, Principal of BVNS Mayapur, along with other distinguished members of the ISKCON community.
Ramanipati Das, Vice Chairman of BVNS and Management Representative of the International School, who highlighted the school’s noble mission, said, “Bhaktivedanta National School extends its wings in Godruma Dvipa, the island of kirtan. With the heartfelt aim of supporting the Godruma dhamvasis, BVNS offers free education, books, and prasadam to all children studying here.”
