On the occasion of Satguru Mata Amritanandamayi Devi’s 70th birthday celebration, our school, as part of the week-long “Sevanavaram” activities, observed a profoundly meaningful week. A week-long program based on the aspects of community service, environment, compassion, and culture were planned in the school.
On the first day, to support and strengthen the bonds of human kindness, students and teachers of Amrita Vidyalayam visited “Jeevan Jyoti” Orphanage in Nerul, Navi Mumbai. It provides shelter, care, and support to orphaned and vulnerable children in society. They distributed around 25 kg of rice, towels, bed sheets, drawing and colouring books, crayons, biscuits and toiletries to the children.
The second day was aimed at promoting cleanliness and community engagement. Following the cleanliness drive, students showcased their creativity and dedication to promoting cleanliness through a street play. The play was performed at different central spots in the community.
On the third day of the celebration, our school exhibited its commitment to compassion by donating a total of 105 kilograms of rice and essential groceries to assist 15 underprivileged families residing near Nerul Railway Station. The rice, a product of our on-going Sevamritam project, was thoughtfully contributed by students every Tuesday, ensuring a steady supply of this essential staple. Additionally, students exhibited their dedication to service by raising funds through the “Sealing of Desire” project, allowing for the purchase of crucial groceries. This collective effort symbolized our school’s pledge to serve the community in honour of Mata Amritanandamayi Devi’s values. The event was graced by Swamiji, our esteemed Chief Guest, and Sri K.N. Pillai Sir, adding significance to the occasion.
Simultaneously, each class also performed archana and arti to Amma as an expression of devotion. Furthermore, teachers came together in the hall to perform archana, fostering a sense of unity and spirituality. The day concluded with a soul-enriching satsang, bhajan, and arti session, further emphasizing the spiritual and compassionate essence of our school’s celebration. A beautiful flower Rangoli by teachers with the logo of “Embracing the world” added to the beauty of the day.
