Krishna has huge appreciation for the UK education system‘s inclusion of world religions as a subject for study in schools, and its emphasis on getting youngsters to start meeting people of other religions and cultures from an early age. "It’s a very smart way of contributing to world peace," she says. "The UK has great influence in the world, so every bit of peace building we do here has a ripple effect and really makes a difference." She extends her thanks to every school that invites us to share the Hindu culture with its students, contributing to the hundreds of thousands of young lives that are touched in this positive way every year. Krishna is a Hindu of British descent, and a member of ISKCON since 1973. She is married to Indriyesha.
