The event was organized by St. Xavier&#8217;s School, Gurugram.<br \/>\nIt was held on 15th of February. The annual event features students and teachers from Russian schools visiting India for a week and getting to its culture and heritage.<br \/>\nIt is a matter of great pride for ISKCON that the organizers decided to start the program with a visit to the ISKCON temple here.<br \/>\nThe event included a talk on the basic spiritual principles from Bhagavad GIta by Rambhadra Das, President ISKCON Gurugram. The talk was studded with humor making it easy for the audience to appreciate its relevance. This was followed by kirtan, in which everyone participated by dancing and chanting with enthusiasm. Rambhadra Das also gifted a Krishna book to each of the students and teachers.<br \/>\nBefore leaving everyone had prasadam. It was a new experience for guests to eat from leaf plates while seated on the ground, as is traditionally done in India.<br \/>\nEveryone relished the experience. The teachers expressed their keen desire to make this visit to ISKCON a permanent part of the program.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<br \/>\nPadasevan Bhakta Das<br \/>\nCommunications Desk<br \/>\nISKCON Gurugram<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/slkBGUY.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/slkBGUY.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img src= \"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/jGpWGYa.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It was a great honor for ISKCON Gurugram to be the first host for an International Cultural Exchange trip of about 50 Russian students and six teachers.
