A Report on School Re-Opening Day Celebration of 2023-2024

                                                                                                                      Date: 01 June 2023


‘Divine Presence is in Everything’. Believing in this, performing poojas and homas with sacred, sincere and pure mind and heart on the reopening day of the school is our custom. It is our culture to begin every academic year by worshipping the Divine to have a tremendous year ahead in achieving excellence in the all-round development of every child.  

This academic year our school reopened on Thursday, 1 June 2023. On this special occasion, the school was decorated with balloons, flowers and mango leaves to welcome students. In the morning about 7:15 a.m. priests started chanting veda mantras and slokas for Ganesha pooja and offered prayers to the Sarvantharyami. The Chief of our school Mr. K. Anil Babu along with his family members performed Ganesha pooja, Ganapathi homa, Saraswathi homa, Gho (Cow) pooja and Navagraha Shanti pooja with utmost devotion and diligence in our school to seek the blessings of the Divine that determine the success of everyone. Students of classes 9 and 10 were also part of it from 9:15 a.m.

At the same time students of classes 1 to 8 were part of a special Ganesha and Saraswati pooja for their all-round development.  Sacred books, textbooks, musical instruments, sports equipment and art materials were placed infront of the Ganesha, the vighnanivaraka, and the Saraswati idols and were worshipped with the chantings of the Ashtothra Naamavali and Stotra. Later the teachers conveyed the meaning of all the chantings made by the students.  

Students from classes 1 to 10 came back with hopes and aspiration to revive again after the rejuvenating summer break. Later, all the teachers and students of classes 1 to 10 made Pradakshinas around the Ghomaatas (cows). These rituals filled the school environment with peace and positivity spreading holy feelings in the young hearts. The students of classes 8, 9 and 10 chanted Vishnu Sahasranama Stotra, Govinda Naamavali and Hanumaan Chaalisa in the form of prayers to the Divine.

Teachers greeted the students of all classes and directed them to their new classrooms. In the classrooms, there was a good interaction between teachers and students regarding the summer vacation enjoyment and how they strengthened their skills in various activities. Teachers motivated the students for their plan of action to set new goals for their academic achievements.   

The rituals ended at about 12:45 p.m. At the end of the spiritual programme, all the students and staff were blessed with prasadam by the priests, followed by a delicious lunch.

All the students enjoyed themselves and carried the sweet memories of the first day of the school with a smile.
