Bhanudas ji, the General Secretary of VK.  In her address she mentioned that Bharat is a Tapa Bhumi. We are fortunate to take birth here and every fortune is a responsibility. Hence being in Kanyakumari for 25 days we must find the purpose of our life where Swami Vivekananda got the Mission of his life, Devi Kanyakumari, the incarnation of Devi Parvati did penance in order get Lord Shiva. She also told the objective of the APS as

Enhancement of academic skill further. Our strength increases manifold when we are in a team. We have to carry our words through our deeds. An acharya should teach through one’s own achara i.e. attitude / behaviour.

Understanding our organisation, its objectives. Education by which one become selfless, we are to give that education.

Having clear idea about our country and its greatness. We need to know why we should be proud of our country.

Samapan / Ahuti Satra :

 

Ma. Hanumanth Rao ji with an example of - a seed can become a tree and capacity to grow another tree if taken care properly other wise not. He stressed the importance of nurturing properly a child. If not taken care properly what the child will become we don’t know. The child may not grow as desired if not taken care properly. He mentioned the role of Rishi Viswamitra and Vasistha in the growth of Sri Ram. A child respects & beliefs a teacher more than a parent. In a class of 40 minutes not just a subject is taught, but the process of Man Making is done, a biological life is transferred to a spiritual life. We must be responsible teachers maintaining a high academic standard.

 

Ad. Rupesh ji briefed the meaning of Ahuti citing the example of Sahid Bhagat Singh, Pandit Chandra Sekhar Azad, Guru Govind Singh, Rani Gaideanlieu, Sister Nivedita etc. He urged the teachers to dedicate more time, full time through the Kendra for the service of the Nation.
