WELCOME ADDRESS AND SHARING THE PURPOSE OF MATRIPUJA:
Sri. K. Jaisankar, Principal of VKV Nirjuli gave the welcome address and sharing the purpose of Matri Puja. During his address, he shared meaningful insights on the significance of “Om” as the Pranav Mantra, explaining that it consists of three syllables: Aa, U, Ma, and emphasizing that everything begins with “Aa”, symbolically representing Mother.
He also explained that:
• The mother plays the greatest role in shaping a child’s life from the womb till adulthood.
• A mother carries her child for 270–290 days, bearing every hardship silently for the well-being of the child by sacrificing all her comforts.
• Quoting Swami Vivekananda, he stated: “Mother and Motherland are greater than heaven”. A hardcore patriot, Swamiji here says Mother and Motherland. Mother is always a mother.
• He narrated the story of Sreela Sree Sankaracharya and His connection with His mother.
• He urged students to take a Sankalpa that they would never hurt the dignity, sentiments, and sacrifice of their mothers, even in dreams.
He encouraged the students, reminding them that as Class X students they will compete at the All India level, and therefore values like discipline, gratitude, and respect are essential for success.
