WITTY INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, PAWAN BAUG
PRIMARY SECTION
GURU PURNIMA CELEBRATION
“Stick to the way you are now, Follow the paths
shown by your Guru, The shine will come to you and you will be the star of your
life”
In keeping with the above thought, Primary
Section of Witty International School, Pawan Baug put up a show to celebrate
Guru Purnima on 19th July, 2016 with great enthusiasm and splendour. The
Wittians duly followed the path showed by their respective teachers resulting
in a very successful event!
Guru Purnima is a symbol of
the Guru-Shishya tradition. Hindu ascetics and wandering monks
(sanyasis), observe this day by offering puja to their guru. Guru or teachers
play a key role in one’s life. They try to nurture, mould and transform a child
into a good human being who understands the difference between right and wrong
and good and evil. Wittians didn’t miss this opportunity to offer
gratitude to Gurus and receive their blessings on this auspicious day!
This celebration was graced by the
presence of Sister Neerja and Sister Manisha from the Brahmakumaris. Sister
Neerja guided students to be positive to lead a happy life. She shared words which
the students could reflect in their life.
The session was quite interactive and students gave their best response.
Sister Neerja gave various examples by narrating small stories to inculcate and
understand the values in life. She shared a strategy of ‘happy box’ and ‘sad
box’ where the students can record their deeds which made them happy or sad. One
must always feel proud and praise oneself because every soul is unique. It was
very interesting to see students being a part of a small exercise on how to
praise one by patting our own back. She rightly added, ‘When you see how wisdom
has transformed your life, you feel grateful for all that has come your way.’ She
instructed students to put forward their right hand and pat their back by
saying- ‘Waah Waah Main’. Appreciation is one of the most important social
values. Hence, students were guided to take this opportunity and praise their
friends by saying- ‘Waah Waah Tum’.
The show commenced with a welcome dance
praising Lord Ganesha by the students of Grade 3. Being the youngest of the lot,
students of Grade 1 put up an adorable dance while reciting a prayer “Guru Brahma,
Guru Vishnu”. Grade 4 Wittians put up a skit which was enacted beautifully on
Eklavya who was deeply hurt by Drona's rejection, but he still didn't give up
on his resolute will to master archery. He accepted the statue made by him as
his guru and practised in front of it every single day and eventually, became
an archer of exceptional prowess. Students of Grade 5 sang a fusion blending
the Doha’s of Kabir with a song in English expressing their gratitude to all
the gurus. The celebration ended with a finale dance put up by the students of
Grade 2 which truly left behind a smile on the faces of the audience! Our
auditorium, “Sparkle”, was over-flowing with talent, laughter and joy.
Guru rightly means the “Dispellar of
Darkness” from our life. Let us all have faith in our Gurus from all walks of
life.
