I am happy to announce that Karuna Manna will be joining Bhaktivedanta Academy as a Teacher's Assistant in Bhakti Bhavan.
Karuna is an initiated disciple of His Holliness Bhakti Swarup Damodara Maharaja, certified yoga instructor, and ballet teacher who has been working with young children for many years. While getting to know her and speaking with those who have known and worked with her, it became clear that Karuna is exactly the type of person we were looking for - a spiritually committed, caring, and kind person who loves working with young children.
Karuna will be moving to Alachua from Hillsborough, North Carolina with her husband and two children over the summer and will begin serving in the class next school year. Thank you to Nilamadhava for postponing her maternity leave until mid-May in order to facilitate a smoother transition in the Bhakti Bhavan class.
Please join me in welcoming Karuna and her family to the New Raman Reti community and to Bhaktivedanta Academy!
