The programme was hosted by Mrs. Archana. Puranik- LKG teacher, who explained the importance and purpose of Vidhyarambha followed by the school prayer by Grade 9 students.
Swamini Amma then conducted Maa Saraswathi Pooja, chanted Om mantra and Guru Stotra. The heart touching moment was when Sw. Amma spoke about her childhood memories spent with her father and narrated a short story told by him and dropped us a beautiful message – “God is present everywhere, but it’s only the word ‘TRUST’ which will make us feel his presence in and around us. If we surrender blindly to him and move on, one certain day we will surely find him unknowingly in our journey of life.”
Sw. Amma then guided all the parents with the rituals of Vidhyarambha / Aksharabhyasa, by chanting Gayathri Mantra and asked the parents to hold their child’s index finger and write “Om Shree Hari Ganapathaye Namaha”. Later, Parents as well as children seeked blessings and Prasad from Sw. Amma.
There was a Photo Session after this, followed by an Orientation Programme which was led by Mrs. Kusuma. She briefly read the Do’s and Don’ts. The programme was concluded by a thanksgiving note to all present there without whom the ceremony wouldn’t be a grand success and truly a blessed moment for each and every one present there.
