1 年Hari Bol ?? This is truly fantastic ?? Now a days, several reporting of students from even top tier colleges opting for suicide can be seen in almost every month. Lot of these students are indulging with immoral activities, wasting their time, finding it difficult to grow as a responsible citizen, etc. Additionally, Unfortunately, parents are not able to understand how to handle kids now a days. Bhakti Yoga is a must have practice into every educational institution. I hope other universities will also follow the foot steps of #universityofwashington.
