Summary of the GCSE Hinduism exam results

[Guest guest]

The GCSE Hinduism results summary for the year 2002:

 

A total of 137 candidates sat for the GCSE Hinduism Exams

through our Centre. A total of 63 candidates obtained the

top grades of A* star and A.

 

The result summary is as follows:-

 

27 obtained A* star grade 19.70 % (national average is 6.6%)

36 obtained A grade 26.27 % (national average is 11.1%)

 

A* and A obtained by 45.97% (national average is 17.7%)

 

Our results come out very well compared to the national average.

(even considering the fact that we do not operate any filter system).

 

Female/Male ratio on A* grade is 70/30

Female/Male ration on A grade is 59/41

 

Some of the very young success stories:-

 

Two 9 year olds obtained pass grades

Two 10 year olds obtained C grade passes

Two 11 year old obtained A grades

One 12 year old obtained A* star grade

 

Photos of some of our 2002 year classes are at

We will be holding an award ceremony at Brent Town Hall

later on this year when all candidates will receive their certificates.

 

Individual results will be emailed to the teachers later on this morning.

Dear All Devotees of Sri Ramakrishna,

 

Namaskar to you all.

 

Quite some time back, I got some information in the Net about a rare book on

Swamiji, namely-- " Swami Vivekananda: A Forgotten Chapter of His Life " by

Beni Shankar Sharma. Unfortunately, I have not noted down the URL of that

site at that point of time. Later, I could not relocate that site in spite

of my best effort through all possible Search Engines.

 

I shall be thankful if someone can help me out in tracing that Website.

 

By the way, this book, a rare one indeed, provides valuable information

about Swamiji's relationship with Ajit Singh, the then King of Khetri. But,

I think the book is out-of-print now. Can anybody help me out in getting a

copy of it (even the photocopy will do).

 

Thanks & regards,

 

TP Bagchi

Namaste,

 

The book review appeared in Ramana Ashrama Newsletter in 1964!

SWAMI VIVEKANANDA: A Forgotten Chapter of His Life. By Beni Shanker

Sharma. (Oxford Book Co., Park St., Calcutta-16. Rs. 10).

 

Even before setting forth for America and fame, Swami Vivekananda was

already a dominating figure. He travelled, often on foot, the length

and breadth of India, impressing high and low alike with his

eloquence and magnetism. One of his first friends and staunchest

disciples was the Raja of Khetri. Mr. Sharma has discovered and

edited a considerable correspondence between them in the archives of

the former princely state. This will be a welcome addition to the

libraries of all students of the Swami.

 

The book store still exists in Kolkata. You may have luck writing to

them.
