Every month we will be interviewing students of TKG Academy gurukula. Some of our students started school through TKG Academy preschool or kindergarten. Others moved to Dallas with their families and started in later grades. TKG Academy has students that come from Vaisnava families and others who are just being introduced to Krsna Consciousness through the gurukula. All of these students have one thing in common: parents that were searching for an educational alternative that included a tight knit, loving environment that teaches their children above standard academics from a dedicated staff of teachers that go above and beyond the call of duty as educators.
Padayatra is an 8 year old, 3rd grade student at TKG Academy. He is originally from Hungary and is in his fourth year at the gurukula having entered in Kindergarten.
