VIHE is heartily inviting all the serious students to our transformational Bhakti-sastri course. Bhakti-sastri course is a systematic study of Srila Prabhupada's books. Srila Prabhupada wanted all of us to deeply study his books, so that we could be better preachers, teachers and, very importantly,
achieve a clear understanding and application of the beautiful science of devotional service. Sri Vrindavan Dham mercifully provides a unique environment to enhance one's taste and appreciation of the treasures of direct bhakti.

The Queen and Prince Philip enjoyed an eclectic mix of music and dance during their Diamond Jubilee tour of Krishna Avanti School on Thursday 29th March. Crowds lined up along Camrose Avenue, Harrow, to catch a glimpse and as the Queen arrived the children could barely contain their excitement. Once inside she was escorted throughout by Nitesh Gor, one of the Directors of the Avanti Schools Trust, through spectacular song and dance displays by local children and adults. Children representing every school in the borough were invited to take part in the day’s events.

This program is flexible and can be used in other ways. For example, it is entirely possible to take one item of devotional service and concentrate on it for more than one day, or even an entire week. And, some people might want to only spend one day on a festival. For children in non-devotee schools as a supplementary program in the morning or evening.

A lot is already there: resources, experience, talent, knowledge...
In October 2011, Navina Krsna Dasa (Director of the UK's I-Foundation) met Yadunandana Swami and other representatives of the Bhaktivedanta College in Belgium. At the Krishna-Avanti School, Harrow, UK, they discussed mutually beneficial collaboration between the College and the burgeoning number of I-Foundation Schools. The prospects look promising. After fulfilling postgraduate requirements, graduates of Bhaktivedanta College have excellent opportunity to teach in Krishna Avanti Schools. This will help the I-Foundation meet the unprecedented demand for qualified teachers, underscored by the government's recent first-stage approval of a fourth (Primary and Secondary) school (to open as early as September 2012).
Yasoda Suta Das: Hare Krishna,
As you may already know in 2003 the i-Foundation, spotted a glaring need for faith schools which give a universal approach to spirituality as propagated by Lord Chaitanya. The first Krishna Avanti primary school opened in Harrow and has since become an overwhelming success.
Much of the success of the Krishna Avanti family of schools comes from the fact that, there is a big demand for good education that provides a wholesome, spiritual backdrop to the typical material credentials.
