In this Age of Kali, without strict and sincere spiritual practices, nothing can be achieved including the task of establishing Daiva Varnasrama dharma. The very purpose of the varnasrama mission is to introduce a regulated way to life that in turn will facilitate one’s spiritual advancement.
Naturally, during the entire two-week period of the Varnasrama College, the morning program was mandatory for all the students. In almost all the days there was a 95% attendance in the morning program.
Students has to rise early to attend Mangala Aratika at 4:30 AM, followed by Tulasi Puja, then Japa Mediation, Srimad-Bhagavatam class ending with by Guru Puja to Srila Prabhupada’s photo that was recently placed on a new Vyasasana in the temple hall.
Everyone was chanting sixteen rounds since more than half the students present were either initiated devotees or aspiring for initiation. One devotee maintained the Attendance Register and till the very last day, the students had to write in their attendance.
