SRILA PRABHUPADA INTERNATIONAL GURUKUL
(Free Boarding School cum Orphanage)
HKFFL Trust runs a school at Udhampur by the name SRILA PRABHUPADA INTERNATIONAL GURUKUL (Free Boarding School cum orphanage).
Our Motto:
“Nishkam Bhakti”. It is said that Knowledge should neither be sold nor should it be bought. Otherwise it becomes business. A dedicated student should submissively approach his teacher and render him service. In return the teacher will give him knowledge, without the desire of gaining anything in return. That is the ideal student-teacher relationship. Here at SPIG we are trying to revive this ancient tradition. Our volunteers render selfless service. Students study here and they do not have to pay any fees. SPIG is a free boarding school. Besides this, all the other needs of the students are also fulfilled by the Trust – books, stationary, uniform and meals are provided, besides day and night lodging.
Why SPIG:
“They will develop into perfect citizens – moral, honest, hard working, law abiding, clean and faithful to home and Country, like that. That is the unmatched success of our Krishna consciousness schooling system.” – Srila Prabhupada.
The Need of SPIG:
Today’s modern education system focuses exclusively on developing a child’s capability in his ability to earn his livelihood more and more competitively. The importance of moral values is not emphasized. The tutors themselves lack the moral values in their lives. Consequently, they fail to inculcate social and Spiritual values in their students. Lack of human values is resulting in immoral activities, violence and corruption. The professionals today are leading a highly stressful life. They have no time to think of the higher principles of living. On the other hand, those who have a Spiritual inclination seek a simpler life, based on the principle of “Simple living and high thinking.”
