MATRI PUJA - 2022

Our vidyalaya organised Matri Puja for the students of class X who will be appearing for board examination on 5th April, 2022. Two guests from Ramkrishna mission namely Sadhu Bikramananda ji and Vedasananda ji and Kunjalata didi graced the occasion by their presence. Principal Ravindranath Savdeykar sir welcomed the guests and the mothers of class X students for whom the puja was held. In his welcome address he shared that a mother is one who forgets all the pain and takes care of her child selflessly.

She is the one who devotes her whole life and time for her child and with all her love she raises her child. He urged the whole audience to think of their mother during the puja and pay respect to her.

After which the guests shared the essence of a mother. Sadhu Bikramananda shared that we have 3 mothers - the one who gave birth, matribhoomi and dharma, all need to be respected equally in order to be successful in life. Swami Vedasananda, secretary Ram Krishna mission Dibrugarh said one may have all the facilities and amenities but one cannot succeed if he/she doesn’t have the blessings of mother and elders. Even in the Bhagwad Gita Krishna tells Arjuna about the importance of elder’s blessings in our lives.

It is a ritual that every year our vidyalaya holds matri puja with a belief that in order to succeed in life one needs the blessings of elders along with hard work.

Mothers were invited to come at 9am. Upon entering children first wash the feet of their mother and seek their blessings.

The puja began at 11am which was led by Bikash Upadhyaksh sir of our vidyalaya.

On the chanting of mantras students prayed the feet of their mother with a promise that we will always be there for their mother and will always take responsibility of her. The programme ended with experience sharing by mothers and students. Kasak Mishra a student shared that her mother was thoroughly elated that today she was going to be kept in a higher place and will be worshipped. She is determined to make her mother proud one day.

Subhodeep Majumdar shared that whatever he has learnt today he owes it to the vidyalaya and his mother. Debraj Saikia’s mother wished good luck to all the students and said she is grateful towards our vidyalaya for teaching culture and moral values to the students.

Few more students shared their experience and the programme ended successfully with a short speech by Kunjalata didi. She said mothers should always be respected for their selfless and tireless service.
