Daily Schedule

 A day in the lives of the nuns is just as long if not longer than that of an investment banker. The day starts at 4.30 am, with morning puja, during which breakfast is offered. The pujas performed are usually requested by students and benefactors all over the world. Sometimes the puja is very long.

The day is filled with classes, studies, lectures, and some work chores.five young nuns crop 2
