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.
