TEACHERS’ DAY CELEBRATION 2015

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES

SOUL SPACE

"In real worship, we just not do ritualistic worship but we try to imbibe the qualities of the one we are worshipping."

"One should always speak the truth and tread incessantly on the path of righteousness."

"The person who is inspired by good thoughts can accomplish all his vows successfully."

“Thoughts give rise to desires.”

“Intelligence is the mightiest and nothing is beyond its reach.”

“Human beings perform good karma (deeds) to attain success.”

- Rig Veda

Teachers’ day is celebrated every year on the 5th of September to commemorate the birth anniversary of the great academician, Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan. It’s an ardently celebrated occasion in every school.

New Horizon Gurukul celebrated Teachers’ day on 7th of September, 2015.The Students’ Council had been secretive about the schedule of events for the day. The teachers had expected a solemn ceremony. But they were in for a surprise when they entered the auditorium greeted by students with roses.

Dance, drama, music – you name it, they had it. The prize winning performance –‘Wings of fi re’ was the fi rst act, followed by a skit and mesmerizing rendition by the senior students. The dance routines enthralled the audience. But when

NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF VALUE EDUCATION (NIVE)

the ‘lungi’ clad guys came up, they set the stage on fi re. It was the most entertaining and hilarious experience. The teachers readily complied with their invitation to shake a leg.

The second half of the day was fi lled with games and activities. Teachers vs. students’ football match and basketball match were conducted. Teachers aced the quiz on New Horizon Gurukul. The eventful day came to a close with the musical chairs.

Students are the heart and soul of every school. Their endeavors add meaning to the role of the teachers. It’s indeed an honor and privilege to be your teachers.

To quote William Shakespeare,

“I can no other answer make, but, thanks, and thanks.”

Why do we ring the bell when we worship?

Most of the old temples in India have a large bell at the entrance that one needs to ring before entering the temple. Making temple bells is a science in itself. These bells are not made out of ordinary metal, but a whole variety of them, including cadmium, lead, copper, zinc, nickel, chromium and manganese.

The proportion, at which each one of them is mixed, is the real science behind the making of a bell. Each of these bells is made to produce such a distinct sound that it can create harmony between your left and right brain. The moment you ring that bell, it produces sharp but lasting sound vibration which lasts for minimum of seven seconds in echo mode — long enough to touch the seven healing centers (or chakras) in your body.

The Bell, known in Sanskrit as the Ghanta/Ghanti, is used in all poojas for invoking the Gods. The ringing of the bell produces what is regarded as an auspicious sound. It produces the sound of "OM" the Universal name of the Lord. Most Mantras (prayers) and Vedic chants start with OM. All auspicious actions begin with OM. It fi lls the mind with peace, makes it focused and replete with subtle sounds. The ringing of the bell drowns any irrelevant or inauspicious sound, and pervades the whole atmosphere. The moment the bell rings, your brain is emptied of all thoughts. Invariably, you will enter a state of trance where you are very receptive.

The bell works as an anti-dote to the chaos of your mind. Before you enter a temple, it helps you to calm down & prepares you for the spiritual awareness you are going to experience.

An added signifi cance of ringing the bell, conch and other instruments is that they

help drown any inauspicious or irrelevant noises and comments that might disturb or distract the worshippers in their devotional ardors, concentration and inner peace.

Why do we Take off our shoes before entering the Temple?

First, visiting a temple is quite different from visiting any other place. The temple is the best place we visit. That is the place from which we are to gain something invaluable. During our practical life when we go to a minister, we change our mental level and our attitude. Whatever dust has gathered on our shoes, socks or feet are removed by us by striking our feet on the fl oor outside his chamber or residence. There is a hygienic reason behind this. Cleanliness is as essential as preserving sanctity.

Shoes move on various surfaces both dirty and clean. This cleanliness is of prime necessity to preserve the sanctity of the temple, which is the holy home of God. Temple is a home of GOD, we must maintain the cleanliness.

Moreover when we go to a temple or approach the holy temple altar at home, our mental state and status should be quite different. If we take off the shoes or other footwear, together with all our mental darkness, ego and crookedness and then if we enter the temple and approach God, the receptive capacity of the mind would increase. It will be highly benefi cial for us if we keep out the bundle of worldly thoughts together with our shoes or footwear outside and then practice meditation and devotion. If you forget our eternal miseries and surrender to God, the journey of life would be worthwhile. For realizing God we need to keep our egos outside. Some people have a fetish for shoes. We also tend to judge people on what brand of footwear they wear. Hence,

when one enters the temple all these external judgements and likes or dislikes are left outside, as each one is a child of God.

Do you remove your shoes on entering your home? Many of us who are not culturally predisposed to this activity avoid thinking about it because we are confl icted about starting a daily routine that you would then need to impose on others.

In Vedic culture it was not permissible to set foot in a room without fi rst removing one’s shoes, as, removing shoes at the front door is a mark of respect to the house and to honor its cleanliness and purity. This can also be regarded as a deeply ingrained cultural habit.

Removing shoes outside a temple is a gesture of being both, a symbol and a conscious desire to leave behind the outer world by shedding, literally, the fi rst obvious steps—shoes.

Why Do We offer Respects To Elders

In our Culture, we prostrate before their parents, elders, teachers and noble souls by touching their feet. The elder in turn blesses us by placing his or her hand on or over our heads. Prostration is done daily, when we meet elders and particularly on important occasions like the beginning of a new task, birthdays, and festivals or on other days of importance.

Man stands on his feet. Touching the feet in prostration is a sign of respect for the age, maturity, nobility and divinity that our elders personify. It symbolizes our recognition of their selfl ess love for us and the sacrifi ces they have done for our welfare. It is a way of humbly acknowledging the greatness of another. This tradition refl ects the strong family ties, which has been one of India's enduring strengths over the ages. The good wishes (‘Sankalpa’) and blessings (‘Aashirvaada’) of elders are highly valued in India. We prostrate to seek them. Good thoughts create positive vibrations. Good wishes, springing from a heart full of love, divinity and nobility have a tremendous strength. When we prostrate with humility and respect, we invoke the good wishes and blessings of elders which fl ow in the form of positive energy to envelop us. This is why the posture assumed whether it is in the standing or prone position, enables the entire body

National Institute of Value Education (NIVE) conducted a Bhagavad-Gita shloka chanting competition in the month of September for classes 3 to 10. It was an inter-section competition and a total of about 900 students took part in it. The prize winners were given away medals and certifi cates by the Principal of New Horizon Gurukul, Ms. Sheela. All the participating students were also

awarded with a participation certifi cate. NIVE has plans to conduct many more of such events in the near future to encourage children.

to receive the energy thus received. The different forms of showing respect are - “Pratuthana" – This is the act of rising to welcome a person.

“Namaskaara "- Paying homage in the form of Namaste.

“Upasangrahan" - Touching the feet of elders or teachers.

“Shaashtaanga" - Prostrating fully with the feet, knees, stomach, chest, forehead and arms touching the ground in front of the elder.

“Pratyabivaadana "- Returning a greeting.Rules are prescribed in our scriptures as to who should prostrate to whom. Wealth, family name, age, moral strength and spiritual knowledge in ascending order of importance, qualifi ed men to receive respect. This is why a king, though the ruler of the land, would prostrate before a spiritual master. Epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata have many stories highlighting this aspect.

Let's take a closer look at the trees around us.

All that wood material is formed of fi bers, the tiny cellulose strands that stick together with a natural adhesive material called lignin. It's by separating and reorganizing these fi bers that we make paper. A source of papermaking is trees - either small trees harvested just for that purpose, or from sawmill scraps left over when larger trees are made into lumber.

Each tree species grows a certain way, and that affects the way its wood looks and performs. Foresters divide trees into two categories: hardwood and softwood species. Hardwood trees such as oaks and maples have wood with very short fi bers. Paper made from these species is weaker .Softwood trees such as pine and spruce have wood with long fi bers, and paper made from this type of wood is much stronger.

First, workers harvest trees, mostly from special tree-growing areas called tree farms. After the trees are removed, more trees are planted in their place. While they are growing, the young trees produce lots of oxygen and provide great habitat for deer, quail, turkeys and other wildlife.

The logs are transported to the paper company where they get a bath to rinse away dirt and other impurities before

being turned into small chips of wood. The chips are then sorted according to size, and moved to the pulping operation, where they will be turned into pulp for making paper. In the pulping stage, the individual wood fi bers in the chips must be separated from one another. This can be accomplished by using one or more pulping techniques. The type of paper that's being made determines the pulping process that is used.

Now paper is made out of the pulp by taking it to the wet end and dry end of the papermaking machine. The fi rst area in which this takes place is called the wet end of the papermaking machine.First, papermakers spray the stock onto a long, wide screen, called a wire. Immediately, water begins to drain out the bottom of the wire. This water is collected so that it can be reused over and over again. Meanwhile, the pulp fi bers are caught on the top side of the wire, and begin to bond together in a very thin mat. The fi ber mat remaining on the wire is then squeezed between felt-covered press rollers to absorb more of the water.

Now it's time for the dry end. In the dry end, huge metal cylinders are heated by fi lling them with steam. The wet paper, which can be up to 30 feet wide, passes through these hot. Heating and drying the wet sheet turns them from pulp into paper and is ready to be used now.
