At Harrow School Srutdharma das was invited to have a tour and meet the Headmaster, Mr Barnaby Lenon. The Headmaster expressed interest to visit Bhaktivedanta Manor and the Krishna Avanti School, and learn more about Krishna consciousness.

In its long history Harrow School has had a number of famous students, including eight former British Prime Ministers (such as Winston Churchill) and the first Prime Minsiter of India Jawaharlal Nehru.
