Education

Her Grace Srimati Urmila devi dasi

Born in 1955 in New York City, Urmila devi dasi joined ISKCON (The International Society for Krishna Consciousness) in 1973 in Chicago, while a student at Bennington College. In secondary school, she was state and district champion in extemporaneous speaking, going to the quarter finals in the national tournament. Urmila devi dasi received first initiation by mail in 1973, thus becoming a disciple of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder of the Hare Krishna Movement. Her Grace first saw Srila Prabhupada in the summer of 1974 and had several opportunities, along with her family, to meet with him personally. She received second initiation in Philadelphia in 1975. Urmila devi dasi has served in ISKCON continuously since 1973. Her Grace has her Bachelor’s of Science from Excelsior College (of the University of the State of NewYork) in Religion and Education. From the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Her Grace holds a Master of School Administration, and Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership. Her primary research has been on job satisfaction of teachers in Krishna primary and secondary schools worldwide. She is certified as a Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, a counseling and teaching system. She is also a certified in the Prepare system of pre-marital counseling.

In 1973 Urmila devi dasi married Pratyatosa dasa. They had three children—Murari dasa, a disciple of Satsvarupa Maharaja (married and working as a software engineer); Campakalata devi dasi, a disciple of Bir Krishna Maharaja (married and working as a bharatanatyam dance teacher); and Keshava dasa (married and CEO of Divine Foods). They also have nine grandchildren. Pratyatosa Dasa and Urmila devi dasi have lived as vanaprasthas since early in 1996. Her Grace lives under the protection of her sons.

Schools

Urmila devi dasi’s service in ISKCON has included work as a book distributor, assistant secretary for the BBT, pujari, temple cook, actress, writer and editor. Her primary work has been in the area of education. She has spent a total of five years running and teaching in a pre-school, mostly under the guidance of Jyotirmayi devi dasi. In 1982-83 in Detroit, Michigan, she and her husband started a primary school which gradually grew to include secondary students. Her Grace became one of the academic and sadhanna teachers. She soon became the principal of the school that they ran for eight years. The family moved to North Carolina in late 1990. Her Grace then started another primary and secondary school, where she worked as the principal and main teacher. In 1984 she worked on a history textbook with Drista dasa, and soon afterwards finished writing and compiling Vaikuntha Children, a guidebook for education in ISKCON. Urmila devi dasi helped start the Grhastha Vision Team which is coordinating courses and materials to strengthen marriage and the family in ISKCON North America. She is also a member of the Sastric Advisory Council to the GBC. For 10 years she was a member of ISKCON’s international board of education, and for 7 years was vice-chairman of the North American board.
