All Year 7 pupils learned about Hinduism and the Hare Krishnas on a visit to Bhaktivedanta Manor – the temple donated to the movement by ex-Beatle George Harrison.
During a particularly ‘hands-on’ day, the boys enjoyed bull cart rides, face-painting and dressing up as Hindu warriors at the temple near Watford. The visit, part of the boys’ Religion and Society learning, gave them the opportunity to learn more about a religion with which many were unfamiliar.
Religion & Society teacher Geraldine Booth said: “What an amazing day – the boys get to see first-hand how a temple works and how it educates its visitors; the highlight of the day was the bullock cart rides!”
