On the blessed day of June 4th, 2015, Amrita Vidyalayam, Kuthuparamba began the new academic year 2015-16. Our guest of honour for the day was Swami Amritakripananda Puri and Br. Rajeshji.
It was a wonderful sight to see all the students back in the school once again. Their beaming faces full of laughter and smiles filled the whole school with an incomparable energy. It was interesting to watch the anxious looks in the eyes of the new students disappear when they were persuaded by the teachers to relax. The most beautiful sight was that of the first standard students taking their first step at the threshold of their formal education.
We began the re-opening day with the auspicious ‘Ganapati Homam’ performed by Br. Rajeshji. It was accompanied by chanting of prayers by Swamiji. The whole ceremony was organized in the prayer hall of the school. The students also chanted the slokas along with Swamiji, and they enjoyed the stories imparting moral values that he narrated. The ceremony ended with the distribution of ‘prasadam’ to all the students and to everyone present at the school.
