Sairam. With the Divine Blessings of our beloved Bhagawan, Pada Puja program was organized on 11th Feb 2024 for the parents of class X and XII students to express gratitude to their parents and seek their blessings for the upcoming CBSE board examinations. The program began with chanting of the ‘Sikshavalli’ Veda Mantra that contains the eternal dictum ‘Mathru Devo Bhava; Pitru Devo Bhava’.
