FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK

Greetings of the Season!!!

India is a land of cultural diversity. We thrive and celebrate every event as a festival holding a very significant story behind each one of them. Festivals are a time to meet and greet our near and dear ones and share our joys with them. It’s a time for sharing and giving.

Through these festivals we inculcate the values of harmony, respect and develop our cultural ethos which is taking a back seat in our evolving western culture. This Diwali as we celebrate let us impart the meaning of every mantra chanted during the puja, every ritual has a significance impart that information to the child. The essence of a folded hand Namaste or Pranam, applying of the Tilak and bowing in salutation to our elders for Ashirvad must be explained to our children.

Every religion has certain rituals to follow which makes us better human beings and the same must be imparted to the children. Students must be exposed to extended families which will imbibe collaboration and acceptance in our ever shrinking nuclear families. Mingling with the elders, friends and cousins broaden the child’s perspective of a larger family and the accommodations required to adjust which is dwindling away in the so called “short and sweet family”. We are a nation whose ideology “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam -The World is my Famliy”. The phrase is taken from Maha Upnishad of chapter 6

Let us exalt in the celebrations and include the needy, poor and destitute that need our love, affection, acceptance and care.
