The idea of brotherhood is inextricably interwoven in the sacred teachings of all religions - a universal truth we wish to propagate through our celebrations. Taking forward this spirit, we celebrated Gurpurab, the Prakash Utsav of Sri Guru Nanak Dev in our school.

VISIT BY SWAMI SHANTATMANANDA, SECRETARY, SWAMI RAMAKRISHNA MISSION

One who dispels darkness is what the
Guru connotates "Gu darkness Ru dispeller". These were the
words of Swamiji the awakened one', who bestowed his
blessings upon us at India International Centre, New
Delhi. He enumerated the instances of Gurukul education
where the guiding values are renunciation and service,
ethics, morality and character building. He said "Each
soul is potentially divine". We need to explore and
discover that divinity within each child. In the hour of
fear, discord, unrest, crisis and terrorism, he served as
a harbinger of peace, concord, solace and harmony, a
binding force to connect each other positively.
