gift a smile

Dear One

Jai Gurudev

Sougata and Anusree, two of our 'Gift A Smile' interns sat with students of our Ved Vignan Maha Vidya Peeth school, Rural Bangalore on a lovely afternoon to gather their thoughts on their school experience. To read what they had to say 

 

Voice of innocent hearts


On a warm November afternoon, students of Ved Vignan Maha Vidya Peeth were asked to write a small article on the topic “My school” within a time frame of 15 minutes allotted to them. We kept it a surprise because we wanted them to write whatever came naturally to them rather than a prepared speech flowered with adjectives to make their English teacher proud:-) . After a sumptuous lunch, we thought they will be ready to snooze. But the children were not at all deterred by it; contrarily they were so enthusiastic. Every child had a fresh perspective. and each spoke from the heart.We picked out three to share with you.
(Please Note:The unedited articles of the students are below. The author has only typed them out)

I am Niveditha studying in 9th standard in an honourable school. I am very happy studying here. Guruji has provided all our needs like food, transportation, education, uniform etc. We have good teachers, good environment and playground. Our teachers are kind and affectionate. In our Ashram, Guruji teach us how to keep our body and mind healthy with meditation and yoga.


Sateesh.M

With blessing for Sri Sri, we don’t have tension, depression or any kind of strain. Daily before the class we are doing Kriya and Meditation. I am very happy about this school, teachers and Guruji.
I am studying in 10th standard. In Guruji’s school we have good education and good culture. We are happy learning all the subjects they are offering. Guruji has provided us transportation, good teachers, food, uniforms, books etc.
Our teachers teaches us with so much affection and in such a friendly way. In our school there are around 1800 students having free education from 59 villages. In our school there are so many programs like cultural programs and sports. Talents are recognised and encouraged in this school. In our school Guruji provide us physical and mental health by teaching us art of living courses. We are doing “sudarshan kriya” daily. Guruji comes to visit us quite often and offer us knowledge. Guruji says education must attend to all facets of human life. The key is to harness the ancient and be innovative with the modern. Thus we are becoming good citizens by the blessing of Guruji. So we are thankful to our Guruji and the art of living organisation. Jai Guru Dev

Shaziya Khan

I am Shaziya studying in Xth standard. First of all I thank Guruji for giving us so many facilities. This is school is very nice. I have been studying here since I was 7. Now I am studying in my 10th standard. Our teachers are so kind and affectionate. Guruji has provided all the facilities of education, food and transportation. Our teachers are so friendly with us. We have many good things going on in this school like meditation, sports, dance etc.
We like Sri Sri Guruji because he helps poor people by giving free education, good books, food etc. In my life, I like to meet Guruji personally one day. He is an inspiration for me, I also want to help poor people in future.
I love this school. There is no pollution, no sound and good air. The environment is so nice. When I am in this environment, I feel so happy.
I like Guruji very much, thanking you Sri Sri Guruji for giving us such a nice school.
Jai Guru Dev
