#JayapatakaSwamiArchives 20050826 || Graduation and Awards Ceremony || Alachua, US

Ram.

Ram.

Ra.

This is my first attendance at the graduation commencement celebration ceremony here in Vaishnav Academy. I'm very honored. I had a number of students of mine that were disciples, aspiring disciples who went through these academy. And today I'm also proud to have one who's graduating.

But.

This time today, speaking on behalf of the gbc, I'd like to just say that the GBC is very much concerned, the governing body of commission very much concerned about the youth in this camp. Very much concerned about the education. I think the people who are the teachers and educators in ISKCON are the unsung heroes because they're facilitating so many youth to have a better future. To have a Krishna Pantra's future and have a wonderful foundation. I'm very grateful for her grace. Lakshmi Muni gave Vasifa and all the other staff members for her dedication. I heard that she's moving on to other services. She wanted a special heartfelt appreciation for her many years of service here in the institution. We started off the last we find about Gurukul in the Shima Bhagwat. The only Gurukul that really gives a lot of detailed mentioned above was Galax. And that's not exactly the one you want to follow how not to do a Goku. But we can see at least that it was definitely an institution. That there were very systematic education for the youth even millions of years ago and they tried to spread their culture. It's very important that in our Krishna conscious movement we had schools which had the ability to educate their children of all the things they need to see them materially and spiritually to give them also a spiritual foundation. I was also thinking how important it is to mention that one of the most that association of Aishnavas is an essential feature for spiritual dancing. And then to have a school where all the young Vaishnavis are able to associate with the senior Vaishnavis Vaishnavas as well as look at each other so that they can cultivate a more spiritual and a more spiritual environment. What's really important of course is that the girls. I know that this is a graduation ceremony but there are a lot of girls here who are going to be coming back again next year. And I hope that all of them focus on how important it is to take a good association and to be a good association Non Viceroy. It's important to give good equality association to your friends to remind them of all Krishna so that they will really be given a good association in helping others. For the graduates of the commencement of Nala that this phase in their life is. Is completed. Some of them will go forward to university and different other services. So it's a kind of a connection, but a new phase. We hope that put a little prayer in there as well. Krishna, bless all of them so that they'll be successful on their lives, that all the things they've learned here will help them in their different endeavors in their lifetime. And that they'll be able to be a very good association and be a good influence in the future. Some of them may be as a president or spiritual masters and mothers, whatever it is, they're going to be having a lot of different kinds of very important influences on others. So this foundation of having training the spiritual association, spiritual community is very dedicated and advanced teachers qualified in both academics and spiritual is something that I personally wish that I had the opportunity. I went to a military pairing, St. John's military setting, residential environment. But it was that it was missing anything spiritual. I really wish that there was a spiritual academy for everybody that runs home. And so we're very grateful that you also know you work hard to complete your studies. There must have been many interesting moments. I sometimes have to give a concluding little talk at mihe, the Nyevo Institute for Higher Education. They have their bhakti shastri course diplomas. Sometimes they do a drama about the teachers, sometimes they share it, some of their experiences. But they always say that although they went through some moments where keeping up with the homework was difficult, keeping up with the regimen was difficult. But at the end of the day they really feel that it was much. They have come out from the whole experience so much better, so much more edified spiritually materially because there is just a spiritual education about Dashastras bhakti shastra. At this point. We should also remember Srila Prabhupada how he had wanted to provide education for our young people to give them academics with a spiritual foundation. So we know that Prabhupada was very much loving for all the children. And he really wanted to see the children well taken care of and well educated. Sometimes we fail to follow Prabhupada's example and Iskandar, we're very sad for that and we're trying to of course, take all the precautions and amends. We're very glad for the very good record here of the Vaishnava Academy. We know the Prabhupada will be very pleased with Vaishnamoni and Kuti and all the other staff members for what they are doing to help bring the young Ada Vaishnavis through their giving them a nice education and association. Thank you all very much, Hare Krishna. I hope everyone will support this program more and more.

So that happened. But then also we formed a board, a board of directors. And that board of directors will help to establish the school in such a way that it hopefully will go on forever and ever, even though any one of us may not be one forever and ever. The members of our board are Shosha Prabul and Matmisha Prabhu, Mahavishoi Prabhu and myself. And we've been already meeting and thinking of new and exciting ways to serve Sri Lapa, so to speak, by making the school better and better. We also have many dedicated staff members here to whom I'm totally indebted. And it's actually kind of impossible for me to thank everybody that's been involved in making Viceroy's Academy what it is today. But there are certainly some people here who have been with us for a really, really long time, and they have shown extreme dedication to keeping this school going and making it a wonderful place for girls to come and get the process of Christian consciousness and process of academic education side by side. I'd like to offer them a little bit of a thank you and gift. There are a few of them. But first I want to say that there was a little bit of an accident in that some. Two of the gifts that we bought somehow remained on the bus tour in Atlanta. They won't be here until Monday. So two people will have to forgive us because the gifts that I'm going to give them are not going to be here until then. But other than that, I would like to thank personally Fitzgerald Kalakanjakabu. He began here as a volunteer. I also wanted to thank some of the other teachers that have been working here for many years. I don't even know if they're all here like they should be, but some of them are for sure. This is from Mother Madhu Matif. She's an amazing lady. She's not only our Sanskrit and math teacher, but she's a shining example of what it means to be a mother, what it means to be alive, what it means to be a devotee of Krishna. And her and her husband, Sesha Babu, the source of my sanity, whatever little bit of sanity there is. Shesha Prabhu is my guide through many things. Both of them are, and I'm totally indebted to them for many, many things also. Is Milan Almarada here? She's not here. I have a gift for Mother Anarada and I also have a gift from Mother Mitch Kishore who is our hope for the future. She also is a wonderful example for the girls and her dedication and determination to serve her spiritual master whose wonderful moment with his Holiness to malfeasance corresponding. It's very inspirational to all of us. Her sense of duty and her sense of service is something that will inspire me and has inspired me and will continue to inspire the girls, I'm sure for as long as she can tolerate us. And I'll save my other teacher last because she has a special thing coming. So those are the teachers who've been with us a long time. And we have some teachers who I would just like to thank who joined our staff recently, who our staff is always growing. We even have some alumni coming out. Professor Zama will be teaching for us next year. So we're doing physical education as well as communication. And we have Balaram Pabou over here. And then we have a little certificate of appreciation. We have Badahara Kabu. He's one of the people whose gift is in Italian is very special because Vadahara has been with us for as long as I can remember. He teaches music, harmonium and medunda. But mostly he teaches devotion to vaiava sound. And it's a pleasure because we hear this vaiava sound often when the girls are practicing and we hardly hear vaiava sound other times. So we're very appreciative to spider hearts is really for inspiring the girls to chant, to do Buddha, to lose care time. And actually that's something about heart to build up. How many graduations have you been? 6, 7, 10. He's been with us a long time. And so then we have Balaram who just joined our staff. We have Kushuzamo who's coming on board. We have Mother Donovo who's joined as an English teacher and doing a fantastic job. And we really appreciate that she's going to be staying with us hopefully a long, long time. And then there's the graduates and these five young ladies, very special girls. They're. We have. Well first of all we have two Vishakas. So for us because it gets complicated coming Vishaka and Vishaka. So we call one Shri Vishaka and the other Vishaka Ji. So Ishaka ji has been in Oxford for the last semester and she was doing a work study program down with Shanakalisha Kabu working for the Oxford project. And she excelled there in her own maturation as well as in her service there. Shonika Rishi's chanting her glories like anything. He really appreciated her service. We missed her. She was great here at Tuam. Very well mannered and articulate young woman who will make anyone in the world inspired to wonder what is it that made such a girl so nice, so well mannered, so poised. And of course she has to thank her parents for that also. And hopefully we had a little something to do with it. And she'll be going to Radha Desh to the Vatigransa College in September. And we wish her all of them, the best. We have Georget Krishna, who also spent a little bit of time away from us. The last six months she's been working, trying to raise some funds so she can go to college and be a teacher. But before that for a semester, she was actually teaching in the new Raman Reichi School. And Mother Nanuka is nodding her head, but she'll testify she was really good. The kids really loved her and when she left, they really cried or sad to see you both. And so she has everything it takes to be a great teacher, including that she's a good cook and so she can make really nice things and inspire children and adults alike. And we're very happy that she's come here to have this nice summer star, this gated graduation. And then there's Sri Vishaka who's been with us for three years and really is an amazing student. You'll find later there'll be some other appreciation of Sri Vishaka's wonderful ability to maintain a very, very strong standard of Sadhana Bhakti and also to inspire others by jumping up and down higher than anybody else on Harnan and in Kirtan. People always ask me, when they go to Kirtan, they say, who? It jumps up and down so high. And Vishaka is very powerful. She chants really nicely. Japa sixteen rounds every day, very enthusiastically. And she's always very enthusiastic for all the processes of devotional service. So we're really going to miss Vishaka. We're hoping that she'll come back for the Christmas marathon. And she's a really amazing book distributor printer. She's always enlightening the Give ka consciousness to others. And we're really grateful that she spent three years with us. She's leaving now to get married to Balarampabu.

Where's Balarampabu?

Right behind me. Oh, there's Balaam Prabhu. So they're going to Be getting married in November. We wish them ecstatic long happy life in Krishna consciousness. You better take good care of her. Otherwise you have to contend with you. And so we wish them the best, right? To him, Tulsi. Tulsi is a powerful leader. Someday, you know, when Thakmaraj was speaking and he said there would be temple presidents, a little glint went into Tulsi's eyes. She has very much inspired to lead in Krishna consciousness and she needs to hone those skills a little bit. But she's ready. She's a strong preacher, a strong devotee. One hour Krishna's marathon book distribution two years in a row. Powerful, powerful girl. Especially when she teaches in Spanish. She's really strong. And she'll be going to Oxford next and we're hoping that that experience in Oxford will enliven and inspire her just like it did with Shop at G. And then after that she wants to go to Mayapor for some time and then take initiation from Chasmars. We wish her best season. Good girl. Will miss her a lot.

Hari Krishna.

And last but not least, Braja. And I tell you, Bridget, she comes from exceptional parentage. I already talk about them a little bit. Shesha and Mamati for exemplary everywhere. Braja is like marajudasphere. You know, she has all the qualities that will make her family proud. She's extremely amazing in every way. She has a wonderful character, lots of integrity, she works really hard. She has a fantastic service attitude. She's only a young girl, just 15, and yet she's finished all her high school requirements with honors. She's got an A in honors physics. And now she's going to be going on to college. And we are sorry we only had her for a brief period of time, but we know that wherever she goes, our name will be glorified by her association. So we're very, very grateful that she decided to stay with us. Now, the last thing, and I'm really sorry to do this all to you, but there's a song I want to sing and it's a song that's Debbie dedicated to Akuti. And I hope you can all go through it because we didn't get to practice very much and I'm kind of tone deaf. Like I said once before, I'm the only one who failed by the Harvard music class. But we're going to try Lila, who is an expert pianist and Kamari who actually has some ability to sing on tune. So Kamari is going to sing with Gabriel. We're going to play this song was Partially written by, I guess, Naveen and Krishna Priya and Krishna Priya's father. And then we kind of tweaked it and Kalakantha was like, all he has to do is hear the name of the song and he immediately can fit the words into the tune. It's amazing. And he just kind of said, well, this doesn't quite fit. And he took a pen and two seconds flat and made it all perfect. So now we're going to try. We're ready. Just pull out something and watch something. This is to the tune of Lady Madonna by the Beatles than any other resemblance of. Totally by accident I have to sit by the music because otherwise I can't carry it. Mother Cookie setting such a pace without.

You we have no we maintain this place Mother could see Chanting Christmas name Working hard and putting all the men to shame we will miss your sour cream star drink and the way you.

Always get things done.

When you call out Go and get your laundry See.

How we work Mother, you need a dad, little dad.

Setting such a pace how are we gonna maintain this? Mother Cookie Carving up a storm Putting ornate altars in every home Always taking icy freezing showers Even when the temperature.

Is low.

Where you get your mystic yoga power we'll never Mother Kuti preaching to the poor Showing them the way to get to Krishna's door Mother Cootie Setting such a pace how are we gonna maintain this?

Before I hand the microphone over to Mother Cookie, I just want to read one thing. It's from Ridhaya Namaj. Unfortunately, Ridhayananda Maharaj could not come. He was supposed to, but you know how things are. So he sent a little letter that I would just like to read. Just a paragraph, he says. Letter to Mother Akuti. It is with genuine pleasure that I take this opportunity to say a few words about my dear God. Sister Shrimati Akuti Devi Darsi. Getting to the point, she is an outstanding Vaishnavi and in fact, always has been. I first met her in 1971 in her Houston temple. And from my first acquaintance with her, it was clear that she was a dedicated devotee, disciplined Vaishnavi of great sincerity. Wherever she has gone, she has made significant contributions and in general, she has been a wonderful example for us all. I know it will be a great loss to the Vaishnava Academy for Girls when she leaves. However, I am sure that wherever she goes, she will continue to render invaluable devotional service to Srila Prabhupada. With best wishes, Ridhayana Vasco Swami.

Hare Krishna. So we have. She pretty much summed up all the girls, but I can think of a few more things. I won't say the bad things. Tilted Davies, a fireball indeed on the soccer field. She's a tough one to get around her foot and fancy work is amazing. Had a lot of fun with her. She's powerful, but she's sweet as sugar. Loves having her and Braja. I don't know anything about their scholastic, but all I know is that she's. She's also, like she said, very. Her integrity is very strong and very eager to serve the Vaishnavas, which is an example, which enthusiastic to Harinam, enthusiastic for book distribution. And I hope she's enthusiastic to be a nice mother and a nice teacher. I hope she teaches some kids, because I think that'd be really nice. Nice wife. So we'll miss you a lot. Anyway, as far as the ashram, I have a lot of people to thank. Everybody, actually, I have to thank Jayap Takasami, because in 1970, he doesn't know this. I'm going to embarrass him. I hope he doesn't mind. He showed me how to put a sari on, but we picked him up in Denver and brought him to Boulder. He was on his way to India, and I was only in the movement a few days and there wasn't any other women in the temple. And he put a sari on himself trying to show me how to put one.

Anyway.

But. So anyway, I have a lot of people dying, of course. As far as Lakshmoni, well, the only reason why I've been doing this service is because of her. Because, I mean, she's just a shiny example. I used to be a water skier when I was younger. And it's, you know, you're in the back and you just kind of get pulled along in the wake and you have the really good driver and you can do anything. And so she's been the driver and I'm just, you know, I'm just hanging on the tow line and she's been pulling me around. You know, I get a little bit of glory for doing almost nothing. And she's also like the wizard of Oz because she's behind the whole thing, you know, completely pulling all the strings, arranging for everything, you know, the fundraising, everything. Getting students, getting teachers. That's her position. I'm just getting pulled along for the ride. But I kept to it because her dedication is unparalleled and unbelievable. Actually, all the teachers, all. Everyone in education, you don't understand how dedicated they are. It's just amazing. Totally amazing. And I attempted to start a gurukula in Bogota, not knowing hardly the language and in a little horrible town in Colombia where all they did was kill cows and I didn't realize a job I didn't know anything about. Started in ashram. And so then I got a phone call saying Miami needed someone to help start an ashram. So I went there. Didn't know what we were doing there either. Did a horrible job. And so then I went up to Lake Huntington, whole ashram, the whole school went to Lake Huntington. Because I realized that we needed some guidance. And so then I had my own auchram there and I realized that I couldn't handle that either.

So then.

Then luckily Lakshmoni took me in and been with her for 25 years. And.

Very good families.

I won't ever forget it.

Anyway.

And Nitra Kachore, like we said, she's our shining hope for the future. Very chaste, wonderful example, brilliant lady. And hope it's continues on and it's always wonderful getting to see all the girls growing up with their own kids and becoming great baishantees for the iskcon.

So this is a graduation ceremony for the Vaishnava Academy girls. So while the speech was going, different speeches were going on. We invite Agnidev, a particular personality of Agnidev that is called Tejas. This is especially for this graduation ceremony. So now we're gonna continue. I already installed the fire and welcomed him and did the first part of the fire sacrifice. So now we're gonna start impart that the teachers, the two main teachers, we're gonna do some oblations, some offerings into. O Devayaswa Ojayaswa.

Om.

Vishnu, Lord of Bratas. I have undertaken this prata. I announce to you that I have accomplished the power and have satisfied me. Overcoming illusion, I have arrived at truth. So now we need to. You should call the girls in order, one by one. They should come and sit here in the corner. So they call you. Start calling.

It.

This Kumba. This pot has a mixture of different.

Grains.

Herbs and all this is for purification.

It's in this water. Narayana, Ananta and others have entered. I reject the inauspicious fires which cover, which conceal, which contaminate, which cause pain and bring destruction to the mind, body and s. I abandoned what is terrible, cruel and violent in this world. I sprinkle myself with this water. This is for fame, for energy, for knowledge, for strength, for the senses, for courage, for Sustenance for wealth and prosperity, for brilliance and distress. B. With those things which attain fame for serving you, consecrate your bed. Shoes and umbrellas. Fans take his bed.

So now the student she facing the deities, she is going to say a few a few prayers for purification.

Narayana. Shining with all pervading light, the king of all forces of nature sent with the month his followers. You are the best store of 10 gifts. Make me the giver of 10 gifts. I go towards you. Please come towards me. My island. Shining with all pervading light. The king of all forces of nature stands with the month his followers. In daytime. You are the bestower of hundred gifts. Make me the giver of hundred gifts. I go towards you. Please come towards me. Narayana. The supreme Lord singing with all povails life sense with the forces of nature, with monks his associates in the evening, you are to restore all thousand gifts. Make such a bestow on me. I am the attempting to approach you. Please come towards me. You are the supreme Lord in the heart of all the living entities. You are the author, rating, guide of all souls, the controller of all activities, the lord of all living entities. You are the witness, the destroyer, the complete whole, transcendent of a material nature. Only the wise men who had surrendered unto the eternal of all eternals, the conscious of all consciousness, the Lord who fulfilled the desires of all living entities, who is situated in his own abode, attain eternal bliss. I pay obeisances. Again. Again.

So now Lakshmi money in a case of abramachetti. This is was a ceremony designed for Brahmacharis. But now the way we have it is the Brahmachari used to take their kusha belt off and the acharya of the Guru will come, take it off and put it into the fire.

What's the meaning? Sleep, the noose of Barun, the impediment in life. From the upper part of my body, from the lower part of my body and from the middle. Then let us free from sin be fixed in performing service to you for the welfare of God. It.

So now we're gonna give the diplomas to the students. So Jaipatagar Maharaj, he's gonna hand the diploma.

Sa. I reject the inauspicious fires which cover, which conceal, which contaminate, which cause pain and bring disruption to the mind, body and senses. Now you support another cover the gaps of autumn and gum put in your hand to shock and void in the ghost be present. I abandon what is terrible, cruel and violent in the world. Now you should sprinkle some water on yourself. Be present here.

Varaha.

I sprinkle myself with this water. This is for fame, for energy, for knowledge, for strength, for the senses, for courage, for sustenance, for wealth and prosperity, for brilliance and respect. Again bathe me with those things which attain fame by serving you. Songs of praise. Your bed, seat, shoes, umbrella, fan, sacred thread and clothes. Stand up and face east. Slip the noose of Varun, the impediments in life. From the upper part of my body, from the lower part of my body and from the middle. Then let us free from sin be fixed in performing service to you. For the welfare of all saith.

So now the last part on this part of the center ceremony. The pictures are gonna wash. The students.

Wanted to sit on a chair. They.

Nice.

Come on Josie.

Speak here.

Go start your speech because you're first in.

L.

I've been here for three years, since March, you said and it has.

Been a great way.

I just come here from America or Fiji. I work with my parents and I found a lot of love and care.

For mother and such a wonderful association.

With girls and especially being a Lachu.

I.

Mother quickly is leaving and we're doing.

A kind of speech thing tonight.

So I'd like to say a few words to her.

I had first seen her when I came in the ashram and first day.

So I was so overwhelmed. I wasn't with people who spoke English really. And then. And she, you know, immediately she made me welcome, said, is everything okay? There's prasadam out there for you. And I felt like, okay, it's what we find here. And then after that she took me to Harinams and that's where I got most enthusiasm from, from her because she took me to Harinams and after that I was in love with Harinams. And now I feel like I owe her a lot for whatever enthusiasm that divorce myster I have.

Because she's like that and she's very much my role model and I'm kind of.

I miss her a lot. And Mataji, she's always been a friend for me, always helping me. If I have anything wrong, if I was ever upset about something, she'd always contact me, give me a motherly hug and I felt fine with her.

And I think that's what kept me here for so long. Thank you so much.

Being here and you're like a friend to us. We always saw you like a friend.

Thank you so much.

And all the teachers I had A lot of fun. I was crazy with some of them being naughty. But thank you. And I'm very sorry if I ever participate with you. And I hope you will always be there to guide me.

Sam.

I haven't been here as long as I was only here for a year and a half. But I can honestly say that I came here as one person. And well, today I will leave here as someone completely different. And that is because of Mother Akshay.

Mother Akiti and Willingness Kishore.

They have helped me so much in my life. Spiritually and materially and just in every way possible. Mother Nichore, she wasn't just a teacher for me. She was a really good friend. A shoulder to lean on, someone to go talk to whenever I needed someone to talk to. Mother Kuti, she is always, always, always doing something. And her enthusiasm just to serve really, really inspired me just to get up and do things myself.

And.

I don't always like to go to Guru Kuja on Fridays because you chose Friday's jam. And I just thought there were so many hope one day I can dress.

Deedee's as lovely as she does.

And Mother Lakshmana, she has been like a mother here. And she gave me this wonderful opportunity to go to Oxford. And that's something I will never ever, ever forget. Just hope she knows how much I appreciate that because it helped me so much. And just all the other teachers, everything that Yaval done for me. And lastly, I guess I have to thank my parents for sending me here. It's a desire I had for a long time and they finally allowed me. And I guess ultimately it was Krishna and time to come.

So.

Hi Krishna everyone. Thank you for coming to our graduation.

I knew I found out that we had to give a speech last year at the other girls graduation. But I didn't really prepare. Even though I knew I thought about it a little last night. I guess the most important thing to talk about is how grateful I am to everyone in the community and all.

The teachers and all the girls for.

Helping me grow into the young woman.

That I am today. I'd like to thank Mother Lakshmani. You really encouraged me.

With a lot of different things. Like with the newsletter. I was reading all the newsletters. I used to write a girl's newsletter.

For the ashram about all the things.

That happened that week. And Mother Lashimoti always said, keep doing it, keep doing it because it was hard. I would do surveys and I'd go around to all the girls, ask them the favorite breakfast and they didn't want to answer for some reason. So I had to like push them. And I would do that every Thursday. And Mother Racha Moni always pushed me to do that. And with teaching, I started teaching at the new Ramariti Elementary School. And after two weeks I was like, I can't do this. I don't want to be a teacher. It's something I wanted to do my whole life. And she helped me with different methods to control the children. And that really helped me. And I like to thank Mother Kuti. I took cooking class from her and she helped me with all different recipes. I don't think that I'm a very good cook. Mother Coogee is a very good cook. Mother Richard is a very good cook. I just hope that I can cook like them someday. And she risked her life and she taught me how to drive. My own mother was there to do that. I always remember things she taught me while I'm driving down the road. And one in Shorei. When you first came, we were all testing you because you were a newbie and you turned out to be such a mother to us all. And you helped me through the ashram a lot.

Thank you so much.

And all the ashram girls. Prita came to the ashram with me and I wouldn't have survived two months without her in the beginning. And Prema, I feel like my sister now. Vishaka, I love you all so much.

Much.

Thank you for one year. But I have really had lots of experiences that I will remember for my whole life. Although there are so many girls, I never felt that much of an neglected me or anyone else either. And I always felt that she kept my interest in mind when she was diving. And it's by her arrangement that I'm sitting here today. I would also like to thank all my other teachers for taking their time to help me do the best I could. And I have a little poem that I wrote in appreciation for them. Always on the lookout thinking of our welfare A determined hard worker is our teacher Mataji One who eats many sweets but never gets cavities she is called Mother Akrampi learns steadiness without which no happiness Soft and silent Mother Lupitishore tries very hard to meet our demands Most encouraging Kalacanta Purgatory pushes us in English while crafting many jokes Mother to us all Madre Amarada made Spanish fun with cakes and cookies Bringing a new light into literature Mother Genova is ever patient with us all. Expert at computer Computers follow on for good as us learn what we will Always treasure one that teaches us more than math and Sanskrit. Mother. Mother Mati is always there for us. Thank you all my teachers for helping and encouraging me to move ahead. And last but not least, I'd like to thank all my friends, my dearest friends. Without you, the ashram would not be fun. There would not have been anyone to see was behind the teacher's back who would have helped me with homework, given me advice or heard me complain. If it weren't for all of you, I don't know if I would have lasted till this day. Thank you my classmates, for always being. Hi Krishna. First I would like to thank my mother. Gracias. And without their help, they're like pillars in this ashram. She's always been a great source of inspiration for me. Just seeing her running around, why am I not doing anything? She's just like. She has spiritual energy. And when I wouldn't take advice from anyone else, I could last in heart because I just admire her so much. And like my mother away from home, giving me advice and helping me through hard times.

I really don't know what I would have done without.

Even in this auction though we did have some hard times. Just because we are fighting here and there. I'll always remember the nice things. I'm sorry I've been so mean to you. Like your first semester. It was my first semester too. But after that in India, I always remember you. You're like more in that quiet and you actually open yourself. And I always remember you always giving me going to sleep, another mother waking along. He's my favorite teacher. I always laugh so much in his class. He says he's going to give me thank you so much for what inspired me to keep writing and tell me to go to college and get knowledge. I'll always remember you when I write. And what a hard. I'm sorry I couldn't practice sometimes. But you're also a great source of inspiration. Just your devotion towards music makes me want to. I'll sing myself. You know how I'm hard. I have a hard time singing. But when I hear you, Hare Krishna, you know, modern Tekashary night, we have this favorite song from you, Hare Krishna, going on with teeth. She's done so much for us. Like in our math class, sometimes she would like give us time to just talk.

Talk about all the things that are in us. She's like, okay, I'll listen to you.

For now, just for a couple minutes. Then you have to do your math and like and just.

Just let it all out.

She's so patient and she's like really strong and sweet. So sweet. And last but not least, I like to thank all my sisters. Thank you.

So now we're gonna close the last part of the jagya. Whoever has brains, you use these three fingers. These three fingers and you throw it like this. Okay? So every time I say Soha, everyone repeats waha.

Just inspired to say how in Mayapur we want to build the Mayapur Vedic University. And with all these wonderful students graduating and more inspired to see that in the future many of them come to the Mayapur University and develop that already affiliating with the one in Belgium for a college.

Everyone repeats when I say Krishna Hare. Now we're gonna do the last offering.

Purnahuti.

Everyone stand up. Any grains that you have, you put it onto the fire when I say sweet. Okay? So now.

Oh.

Push, push.

So now we got. We need to do a pageant and we're going to go around the fire for seven times. But mother L is requesting to please don't go away because there is a something else happening before that.
