A chance to make a big difference to our children: nature study at Pa

[Guest guest]

How do butterflies find their way when they migrate? Why do plants turn toward

the sun? How satisfying it is to assist these children to explore Krishna's

greatness through nature! And now you have the opportunity to be a part of this

thrill of discovery. Two kind donors have already given us almost $1000 of the

$5000 needed to purchase the equipment, kits, and videos to complete our nature

study program for grades 1-8 (ages 5-13, our school goes up to age 18). With

some help from each of you reading this, we will soon have a first-class

facility to educate these devotees!

 

 

 

Students study nature through hands-on discovery rather than merely ramming

names and facts through their brains with textbooks. Their study of nature

simultaneously allows these second and third generation devotees to deepen

their love for Krishna, prepare them as preachers, and give them the knowledge

and skills expected of modern students in the sciences. Srila Prabhupada said,

"From nature we can study so many things, very instructive. Krishna has made

the nature in such a way that any intelligent man, if he studies simply the

nature. he becomes a very learned man, if he has got the capacity to study

nature." (Lecture: Srimad-Bhagavatam 6.1.10 -- Los Angeles, June 23, 1975)

 

 

 

How can you help? You can go to our website, http://www.radharani.com, and

donate through paypal. Let us know that you want to give to the nature study

program. You can send a check directly to Padma Academy, 915 Dimmocks Mill Rd.,

Hillsborough NC, 27278. Or, if you want to order materials directly from the

company, Delta, you can e-mail our teacher, Campakalata devi dasi

(campakadd (AT) earthlink (DOT) net) to get the list of what we need and then decide what

specific kits, videos, and materials you'd like to purchase for us. Of course,

general donations for the school are also always welcome!

 

 

 

"It is the most important preaching work, to train our children in Krishna

Consciousness education of life." (Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Mohanananda -

11 December 1972)

 

 

 

Thank you very much.
