Pine Manor Junior College

For the first two years of his stay at Harvard, during 1963-1964, Priya Nath was not earning anything but was on a scholarship that barely covered his expenses. Even then he managed to save a few dollars and sent them to Shri Nathji at London whenever he could. It soon became obvious to him that if he was to serve Shri Nathji in a better way he would have to get a job outside. Quite suddenly a miraculous offer of a teaching job came to Priya Nath from the prestigious Pine Manor Junior College in Massachusetts. When Priya Nath went to look at the college, its aesthetic surroundings made him feel as if it had been especially made for him. It was Shri Nathji's miracle. Once again Shri Nathji’s dictum: “Every intense desire must find fulfilment,” had come true.
Priya Nath took up the teaching job in 1965 It was a college in which the wealthy debutantes, daughters of the rich, studied for a polishing-up two year course in the Arts and Sciences for the Bachelor’s degree. The daughters of McGraw, Firestone and other millionaires were in the college. The teaching hours were so minimal that Priya Nath got time to concentrate on his Ph.D studies at Harvard as well. The place seemed to have been especially made for him by Shri Nathji. Very soon Priya Nath had become the most popular teacher on campus. This was not only due to his incredible teaching ability but also due to his sense of humour, and his reputation as a musician and philosopher. His popular lectures on Einstein’s Theory of Relativity won him thunderous applause, as well as wide acclaim. The President of the College, Mr. Ferry, would take Priya Nath out on lecture tours.
 Pine Manor College is a private, liberal arts women's college located in Chestnut Hill, a suburb of Boston, Massachusetts. It was founded in 1911 and currently serves almost 500 students, 75% of whom live on the 60-acre campus. It has a very beautiful campus with large open spaces.
