Hari Om!

It is a pleasure to pen down pending thoughts that I ponder over towards the end of the academic year 2017- 18 . With

the grace of Gurudev we were able to plan and execute our plans effectively at our second home.

It is the flower of togetherness and collective responsibility that turned into the fruits of joy and happiness that brought

smiles to many different faces which still lingers on .

The youth has to rise over petty thoughts and actions . Your actions stamped with perfection should lead the world .

Blessed with the great legacy of spiritual India, trained under the institution founded by one of the greatest of the

masters of modern India , you are well equipped to be the leaders of your sphere of action .

The Vidyalaya is in its path of action . We are grateful to the community that sends its children in the lap of Chinmaya

Vidyalaya and grow with all the splendor of integrated body mind and intellect to be studious students of great

teachers , dutiful sons and daughters ,responsible citizens of India and a perfect self aiming at inner transformation to

merge with the supreme self .

We stand witness to the passing out of an army of Chinmaya children armed with knowledge, to serve the vast communi-

ty that gave them the opportunity to discover themselves . We are sure that they would return more than they took .

FIND LOVE, NOT FAULT….

It takes two to make a quarrel. Also it takes two to make up after a quarrel. Without invoking love, this can never be

accomplished. Flood your mind with love, look into the eyes of the other and embrace the person with whom you had

quarreled. Words are not necessary. Both will have their eyes flooded and the joy-tears will wash away all quarrels for

the time being. Try this. You will find this true every time. This is the power of love, strength of love.

Faults become thick when love is thin. When love rises to swirl around us, and when we review in this clear light of love,

the very faults get transformed into the essential beauty in them. This is the magic touch of love, the miracle played by

love. When our hearts are full of love life is a smiling valley of beauty and joy, romantic and divine.

Swami Chinmayananda
