DPSN……… the Place to Be!

India is a land of cultural diversity. We thrive and celebrate every event as a festival holding

a very significant story behind each one of them. Festivals are a time to meet and greet

our near and dear ones and share our joys with them. It’s a time for sharing and giving.

Through these festivals we inculcate the values of harmony, respect and develop our

cultural ethos which is taking a back seat in our evolving western culture. This Diwali as

we celebrate let us impart the meaning of every mantra chanted during the puja, every

ritual has a significance impart that information to the child. The essence of a folded hand

Namaste or Pranam, applying of the Tilak and bowing in salutation to our elders for

Ashirvad must be explained to our children.

Every religion has certain rituals to follow which makes us better human beings and the

same must be imparted to the children. Students must be exposed to extended families

which will imbibe collaboration and acceptance in our ever shrinking nuclear families.

Mingling with the elders, friends and cousins broaden the child’s perspective of a larger

family and the accommodations required to adjust which is dwindling away in the so called

“short and sweet family”. We are a nation whose ideology “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam -

The World is my Famliy”. The phrase is taken from Maha Upnishad of chapter 6 अयं बनु्धरयं

नेति गणना लघुचेिसाम् । उदारचररिानां िु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम् ॥ भावाभावतवतनमुुकं्त जरामरणवतजुिम् ।

प्रशान्तकलनारभं्य नीरागं पदमाश्रय ॥ एषा ब्राह्मी स्थितििः स्वच्छा तनष्कामा तवगिामया । आदाय तवहरने्नवं सङ्कटेषु न मुह्यति

॥

A MOTHER’S LOVE

A mother’s love is something

that no one can explain ,

It is made of deep devotion

And of sacrifice and pain,

It is endless and unselfish

And enduring come what may,

For nothing can destroy it

or take that love away…..

It is patient and forgiving

when all others are forsaking,

And it never falls or falters

even though the heart is breaking………

It believes beyond believing

When the world around condemns , and it glows with all the beauty

of the rarest , brightest gems

It is far beyond defining

It defies all explanation,

And it still remains the secret

like the mysteries of creation……

A splendored miracle , man cannot understand

And another wondrous evidence,

Of god’s tender guidance hand......

Initiating the Info Quest!

One of the bases of 21st century skills is ‘Information’. Information is supposedly one of

the key aspects to the acquisition of power. The understanding of what lies behind a child’s interest and passion extends much beyond the classroom. The initiation of Info

Quest aided in presenting this aspect of learning, to the parent body.

Info Quest was a display of the nonacademic areas in the student routine at DPS

Nashik. It was entirely a student led initiative in which student volunteers across grades

6-8 presented information and details of skills acquired by them in various sporting activities, fine/performing arts, STEM learning and Entrepreneurship. Parents danced to

the tune of the student choreographers, participated in the STEM Learning and

Math/Science enrichment sessions, hosted by the student body.

Wish you a Happy Green Diwali!

BUZZZ…… YOU NEXT MONTH!!
