The Principal Teacher and Spirituality
Spirituality is an important aspect of our lives. It is the process to connect the external with the internal, connect the body with the soul. Conserve the nature, sustain the age-old value system that nurture our society and life on planet Earth.
Spirituality is also a process to connect with the nature where we consider nature as our mother. There are numerous festivals, fairs, customs and rituals where we worship mother nature. We worship the rivers, forests, The Sun, The Moon and the list goes on. Indians have a habit of connecting their rituals with the nature, conserving and serving it. Chhath Pooja, KarwaChauth are few of the examples of it. Spirituality in India is way beyond others imagination.
The majority of the issues in today’s life are due to the disconnect between the external and the internal, the body and the soul. It is imperative to create a balance between these two factors-the body and the soul. The body is the end product of our food. The quality and quantity of food intake shapes the body, it’s immunity and other vital factors like blood pressure, heart rate and other physiological factors. Soul descends from beyond.
The body is considered as known, i.e., material whereas the soul as unknown, i.e., divine. The existence of a being is the balance between the known and the unknown or the body and the soul. To have a complete balance in life, spiritual understanding and the materialistic knowledge is a must.
Today the world is facing issues like people becoming self-centric and egoistic, once they complete their elementary and higher education and attain something of their choice, which people term as success. To overcome such issues, we need to make our students understand the value of spirituality and one such school in Vrindavan is doing the same.
Samvid Gurukulam — the prominent school, known as a combination of Modern Educational Skill building hub and Indian value system provider, is giving the exceptional blend of education and spirituality. The Principal Mrs Aastha Ji Bhardwaj is taking care of the system and she makes it sure to deliver the proper content with the clear and easy message to the students and her colleagues.
Havan Ceremony at the Start of the session:- Under the leadership of Mrs Aastha Ji Bhardwaj, Samvid Gurukulam celebrates various Indian festivals and before the start of academic session, Samvid Gurukulam makes the beginning auspicious with a Havan. The participants are the students and the school staff with the presence of ParamPujya Didi Maa Ritambhara Ji. This way, the initial introduction of the students with our inherent value system is done.
Sanskaram Classes: This school is a centre of academic excellence with moral studies. Sanskaram classes are meant for developing the core indian value system so that the new generation learn the process to stay happy from within, in adverse situation. These classes are helpful in building a proper thought process to develop an understanding of civilizational values. Thus, it is an attempt to make the entire generation skillful, balanced and civilized to form this place a better world to live, co-exist and share the success stories. These classes also help to open the newer dimensions and avenues to capitalise their full potential and excel in the professional, personal and social life.
Cultural Academy:- The school is gifted with a talented pool of trainers and teachers who are making students learn the art of dance and various forms of it. The skilled daughters learn the basics of traditional dance and most often these dance performances are the based on Lord Krishna Leelas or Lord Shiva’s. By learning these dance forms, the daughters understand the religious and spiritual connect, they feel connected wiith the stories of these things.
This is imperative for us all to stay balanced, focused and composed. Institutions like Samvid Gurukulam and Principal Teachers like Mrs Aastha Ji Bhardwaj are helping the society to build on the better aspects of life. They help to know the true sense of civilization and balance of inner and outer world, i.e. the body and the soul.
