In December 1999 we felt most honoured to received His Holiness The Dalai Lama who came to our school in Sarnath to bless our stuppa and our work.

''At this time all the world is discussing the coming 21st century. Everybody is talking about what will happen in the New Millennium. Those whom we are meeting today will be the real citizens of the 21st Century. We are meeting the little students who have the light of self confidence and assurance in their eyes. I am really very happy to see this. The time is quickly passing, so we must accept the challenge and prepare ourselves for this precious time. What is necessary to do? It is Education. Unless we are educated we cannot do anything."

His Holiness XVII Karmapa came to our school in Sarnath in January 2001, 2002 and 2003.
"I am very happy to visit the school. The inspiration and motivating force behind the school comes from its founder. The school is dedicated to humanity and to the practice of a spiritual path. This is of great benefit to the future of humanity. This is very unique and profound. Therefore I appreciate your wisdom and your motivation. I thank you for your work in this holy place of Varanasi and more precisely in Sarnath."

Educational psychologists and philosophers from the West often visit us. In November 2001, Jean Yves LeLoup, a doctor in Philosophy, Psychology and Theology, orthodox Priest and writer of "The Mountain in the Ocean", "Mystery and the Transpersonal", came to our school in Sarnath with a group of fellow Europeans...

In November 2001 Baba Harihar Das from Varanasi and California came to visit us. He too runs a school in Varanasi and is building an orphanage on the banks of the Ganga.

Raj Bali Tiwai, the former Uttar Pardesh State Government Minister for Education came to our school three times a week in 2001/2002 to talk to us about our culture and history: of Swami Vivekananda, Gandhi, Buddha, Ram, Jesus, Christ, Mohammed, stories from the Ramayana... His talks were always popular with the students.
