In a gesture of gratitude and respect for the teachers of the Gaudiya Vaisnava tradition, three framed pictures were placed on the podium of the High Court Ministry, that of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder of the International Society for the Consciousness of Krishna (ISKCON), his spiritual master Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami and his father Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur, a great magistrate and scholar of Bengal, whose works can still be found in the British Museum in London.
