On a mountain crag, an eagle lays its eggs and when the eaglets are ready to fly, she pushes them out of the nest and if they are in difficulty, she swoops down under them and brings them back to their nests. She tries the same again, after a few days, when they start flying, the world is theirs; so is the case with the children of our school. They spread their wings and venture into the fantastic realm of education, literature, strong human values, aesthetics and emotive elements in their lives. Above all, they unfold wisdom in a practical world so as to attain success, satisfaction and spiritual enlightenment which will add a new depth to their lives.

Spiritual enrichment is one of the aspects of our "Panchamukhi Shikshana." The students of middle and senior sections visited the Iskcon Temple on 6th of August 2011 to enrich their spiritual quotient. After the assembly, they alighted the school bus with their respective Class Teachers to the temple. The children enjoyed the journey singing, and playing. The children had the 'darshana' of the presiding deity, Lord Sri Krishna, Balarama and Radha. It was a coincidence that the visit was arranged on the shravana shanivara , an auspicious day for Lord Vishnu. On the whole the visit was a memorable experience.

Reciting raises retention. When you know you are going to recite something in your own words, you pay more attention. It forces you to remember in a much better way. A recitation competition for students of classes I and II was organized on Tuesday, the 9th of August 2011. We selected the best five students from each section. The panel of judges were
Sri.Ramesh (English faculty for “Sri Vikasa Vidhya Kendra”) and Smt.Thirumani (resource person for JGRVK and RVK).

Corruption is a global phenomenon. Today, more and more countries have realized the impact of corrupt practices. But in India corruption levels have increased substantially with
the passage of time. The level of corruption has moved upward from petty corruption to corruption of the highest form.
The anti-corruption drive, inspired by Anna Hazare, has drawn the crowd from various walks of life from different parts of the country, to raise their voice against corruption. This 74-year-old got India's Facebook and Twitter generation to step out of Coffee bars, chuck their designer caps, headphones and Ray Bans for 'Gandhi topis 'and wave the tricolor and shout “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”
When the country is changing hats in the fortnight, JGRVK, did its bit by observing “A day against Corruption” on 26th of August 2011.Banners were tied at the entrance , posters and sloganeering against corruption was prepared by the students of classes 6 to 9 and displayed. The s tudents del ivered motivating speeches fo l lowed by Smt . L e e l a v a t h y a l s o highlighted about the topic. At the end of the day the children watched a short documentary film on how corruption takes its ugly roots in the society. Teachers lit diyas and gave it to the students, and the staff held lighted lamps in their hands and pledged that they will neither give nor take bribe and they will fight corruption. Perhaps, we need a thousand such ANNA HAZARES to fight and destroy the monster.

Three things are necessary for a bird to fly, the two wings and the tail as a rudder for steering. Jnana is one wing, Bhakti is the other wing and yoga is the tail that keeps the balance of the bird. As we
know that each soul is potentially divine, the goal is to manifest this divini ty within by controlling nature; both external and internal. One can perform this either by worship or psychic control and can be free. This is the basic concept of religion. Be happy with the Peak and relax in the valley. In order to imbibe this rich philosophy in the minds of the staffs, Smt. Sarada Devi, a yogi and devotee of Aurovindo, conducted
a session for the teaching and admin staff on 7th Sept. Yoga today is essentially a way of life that integrates the means of harmonizing the body, mind, and spirit. It is all about a series of postures,
breathing exercises and meditation. The popularity of yoga and meditation is increasing day by day all over the world because human lives have become immensely stressful.

“Arise awake and stop not till the goal is reached………………………” - Swami Vivekananda
Have you ever seen an ant carrying food? Well…we really have a lot to learn from them. How well they co-ordinate with each other until and unless everybody gets food! We all have a particular way of working, acting and reacting. It is not important whether we succeed or fail in our endeavour but the honest effort is essential. However, working with the right attitude is also equally important.
I have seen many people start a work with great enthusiasm but are unable to complete it. In the middle of the
Teachers' corner:

job, they somehow loose all interest and leave it half done. This is just not accepted. Isn't it? One should have the right zeal and patience to complete a job just he/she has taken up. The very thought of the result can de-motivate many people and that is the core reason why they cannot finish their task. What I feel is that while doing a particular job, we should not think about the result. We should give our best and if it is really praiseworthy, the result will certainly be positive. Moreover, even if you lose, you should not be disheartened or feel hopeless. I think that it is hope and dreams for which we all live-both you and I. Therefore, come what may, just dive for it. If you are honest and sincere in your effort, no one can stop you from becoming a 'HERO'. You need not look for the right moment to get motivated, you look inside, you be optimist, and you can see and feel the HERO within you.

We hear the students shoutingTest!Test!Test!In a voice that prevents us from snoring,Test!Test!Test!Some say”Test! Leave the rest!”Others say”Test! Oh,I must do my best!”What is this test? Why is this test?Is it something to spoil our rest?
