A formal thanksgiving for conveying the gratitude to the guests was done before the cultural events began.
The program continued with the much awaited cultural events with the theme of Festivals for Primary section and Saints of India for Secondary. It began with the graceful dance performances of our students from Primary section. Festivals are the essence of India and this was depicted beautifully by the students of grades I to V who danced to the song and beats of various festive songs. Yoga has been a part of our tradition for eons and has been practiced every day by the students of our school which was evident from their presentation of different yoga asanas and formations. The mesmerising performance of the students truly impacted not just the body but also the mind.
The first part of the cultural program was enriched with the essence of Indian culture and the second marked the beginning of the rich heritage of India depicted by the students of the secondary section on the saints who left the mark in the history of India. The first act was a depiction of Sant. Dnyaneshwar and his life, the story of how he came to be known as mauli by the people of Alandi who were believers of lord Vitthal also lovingly called Mauli. This Marathi skit was enacted with dance performance by students of grade IX. The next act was an English skit by grade X students narrating the life of Shri. Narayana Guru and his contributions in eradicating untouchability and the caste system from Kerala in the 18th century. This act was followed by yet another scintillating performance by students of grade VII who depicted the devotion of Sant Surdas towards lord Krishna with a tear-jerking
performance. The final performance was done by students of grade VIII who depicted the life of Mirabai through a Hindi skit followed by a beautiful performance. The cultural program was truly entertaining and insightful and the impact was seen through the applause that the audience gave to the performers.
The climax to the wonderful evening was done with a tribute to Mata Amritanandamayi Devi lovingly called Amma and her selfless service towards humankind by running through a short video. With Amma’s blessings the event was a success and not one person returned home without a smile on their faces. Everyone at last stood up for the National Anthem and shanti mantra before leaving the venue
