On the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnimah, celebrated since time
immemorial to bring the awakening of totality of life, a grand
celebration attended by the community and press was organised at
Maharishi Vidya Mandir, Ratanpur, one of 150 locations of Maharishi
Vidya Mandir Schools throughout India where similar events were in
progress.
The programme began with offering gratitude to the Vedic Tradition,
the most ancient tradition of Total Knowledge on earth, which has
guided and will continue to guide countless generations to the light
of pure knowledge within the Self of everyone.
Thereafter, students performed inspiring skits and presented melodious
songs, including the words: Jab se hui hai bhagya se humko Sadguru
ki pahchan. The boys of class VIII presented Guru Naman, followed
by a speech by Anshu Pathak of class V, which began with a beautiful
quotation - Mati mein ho samta, hridaya mein vishalta, guru
par ho prasannata, jeewanrahe mahakta. A group song presented by
the students of the primary wing—Guru Purnima hai aaj, Guru
ko naman Karen—mesmerized one and all.
Senior teacher V K Singh defined the word ‘Guru.’ In
his address, Principal Dr S N Rai presented his ideas on Guru Mahima. Thereafter,
Deepti Mayeejal and Akshay Yadav presented a song. Abhimanyu Guhe
played the Hansdhwani Raag on violin, which was appreciated by everyone.
Each school day at Maharishi Vidya Mandir begins and ends with group
practice of Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation Programme. The
students gain a natural inner peace; they become more receptive to
knowledge; they exhibit greater alertness; and they radiate bliss
and friendliness to their classmates and their teachers.
On the occasion of Guru Purnima, tens of thousands of students of Maharishi's schools across India wrote letters to Maharishi, in gratitude for the profound education they have received under his guidance.
