More Photos from the Road
October 14, 2015Above are more photos from Acharya Arumuganathaswami's and Sadhaka Jayanatha's recent trip to the Mainland. As was mentioned before, the two traveled to Florida for the Uberoi conference and a variety of other events taking place in Tampa, Orlando, Ocala and Gainesville. They next flew to Sacramento, CA for the Instructional Quality Commission meeting, for which they gave testimony and suggested edits to the current draft narrative of 6th grade social studies in an attempt to improve the teaching of Hinduism in public schools. They've since returned to Kauai Aadheenam and are readying for their attendance of the next IQC meeting.
