Gauri conducted a discussion activity or dharma-tula in the tradition of Hindus in Indonesia along with Hindu students who are members of the Hindu clergy organization in Way Jepara, Lampung. The activity took place during a session of teaching and learning activities of Hindu religion which is routinely carried out every Friday at their school. At that time, Gauri, represented by Yadava Hari Prabhu, was asked by the Hindu teacher of State Senior High School 1 Way Jepara to replace him because he was going out of town for a while. Incidentally, Yadava Hari Prabhu who is a student in Yogyakarta is on vacation in his hometown, Way Jepara, Lampung and is able to fulfil the request. He coordinated with Hindu religious leaders in the school. They agreed to hold a dharma-tula in collaboration with Gauri.

A meeting immediately held in the hall of the Hindu State High School 1 Way Jepara. Around 20 students attended to follow it. At the beginning of the meeting, Yadava Hari Prabhu presided over the Tri Sandhya prayer which is usually done by Hindus in Indonesia. After that, he opened the meeting by greeting all students and delivering the agenda for the day. The agenda after the prayer is to read the Bhagavad-Gita together. All students were eager to read the Bhagavad-Gita As It Is verses, written by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Then switch to the question and answer session or dharma-tula which begins with a little explanation about the majesty of cows.

Hindu religion, which is a minority religion, is often confused when dialogue with other non-Hindu colleagues. Especially when asked about the basis and reasons for not allowing to kill or eat cows, and why must protect cows. Yadava Hari prabhu gives an explanation of the majesty of cows based on literary descriptions that are packaged in casual language. Students can easily understand. Facing a fairly complex Indonesian cultural tradition, they often have difficulty understanding literary descriptions that they rarely read or hear. Through this dharma-tula, they gain knowledge of the majesty of cows and how important the protection of cows is. As a young Hindu generation, they are committed reading Bhagavad -Gita every day and participating in protecting cows.
