BVP Gandhi Nagar Branch Organises a Trilogy of Guru Vandan, Chhatra Abhinandan Programmes

: Bharat Vikas Parishad, Gandhi Nagar Branch, under the leadership of its President, Prof. Sharat Chander Sharma, created a hat-trick by organizing three Guru Vandan, Chhatra Abhinandan programmes in a week in three different schools, by organizing the third programme in the series in Rose Public School, Shastri Nagar, Jammu, today.

Sh. Vishal Sharma, Principal, Rose Public High School, was the chief guest on the occasion, while Prof. Sharat Chander Sharma, President, Bharat Vikas Parishad, Gandhi Nagar Branch, Jammu, presided over the function.

Prof. Bharat Bhushan Sharma, Member, National Gatividhi, Seva, Bharat Vikas Parishad, was the Main Speaker on the occasion, which, S. Gurmeet Singh, State Convenor, Seva, BVP, was the Distinguished Speaker.

State President, BVP, Mrs. Sunita Gupta, was the Distinguished Guest on the occasion.

During the programme, Students of the School, venerated the teache School, by touching their feet, garlanding them, putting a Tilak on their fo and presented ceremonial chunaries and pens to them.

As a return gesture, the teachers bestowed their blessings on them and presented notebooks and pens to them.

Speaking on the occasion, the Main Speaker, Prof. Bharat Bhushan Sharma, highlighted the virtues of being a good student. He said that when the student satisfies the Guru about his being a worthy recipient, the Guru bestows on him the eye-opening, life-changing knowledge, which dispels the darkness of ignorance.

The Distinguished Speaker S. Gurmeet Singh said that the best example of what a transformative influence True Gurus can have is Sikhism where an abject, subjugated, population, tortured and killed by genocidal foreign invaders, was transformed into a formidable martial race, and blessed that martial race with an immortalizing classical music in the form of Shabad Keertan.

Blessing him with a tough exterior and soft interior, the True Gurus transformed a meek, quivering slave into a roaring lion - the Sikh (Shishya). Today, the Sikh stands as a symbol of fearlessness, trustworthiness and patriotism. This is what Guru-Shishya Prampara, exemplified by Sikhism, can do.

The Distinguished Guest, Mrs. Sunita Gupta highlighted the sweetness of Guru-Shishya relationship by telling the story of a poor student, who was helped by a kind teacher, when the student could not pay his tuition fees, and who on maturity becomes a famous surgeon, and returns the teacher's kind gesture by paying teacher's hospital bills and performing a life-saving surgery on him free of charge, when the economically struggling old teacher found himself unable to afford the hospital bills, and was considering dying without treatment.

In his presidential address, Prof. Sharat Chander Sharma pointed out that the relationship between the teacher and student was a delicate one. When this bond is strong, the communication between the teacher and student becomes smooth and lightening fast. And the bond is strengthened when the student is truly respectful to the teacher.

On the other hand, addressing the teachers, he urged the teachers to prove worthy of the high pedestal of love and respect. They should constantly enrich their knowledge and sharpen their teacher prowess and also teach by self-example, as the students tend to look upon their favourite teacher as a role-model.

The programme was ably conducted by Sh. Chander Uday Sharma, Secretary of Gandhi Nagar branch.

Also present on the occasion, were the Vice Presidents Ved Verma and Tilak Raj Sharma, Treasurer Ranjan Gupta, Mrs. Renu Malhotra and teachers and students and other staff of Rose Public High School, Shastri Nagar, Jammu.

The programme began with lighting of the ceremonial lamp by the dignitaries and signing of National Song Vande Mataram, and concluded with National Anthem.
