His Holiness Radhanath Swami, ISKCON Spiritual Guru said, “This is truly an achievement and a step ahead to impart the essence of Hinduism globally. It’s imperative for children to connect to this vast ancient knowledge that has been into existence ever since the existence of human being. In today’s competitive era which is full of stress resulting many youngsters getting into depression, if our children are enlightened with the real knowledge of life they will know how to combat stress easily. With this, they will better understand the real purpose of this human life and how they should conduct themselves. This will take them long way in life as Hinduism is just not religion but beyond that. It’s the way of living , purposeful living. Cambridge is one of the strongest pillars of modern education system and for them to include ISKCON in their syllabus is a huge recognition of our spiritual practices.”
