Celebrating the Completion of 22 Glorious Years
On the dusk of 5th Jan, celebrating the 126th birth anniversary of Paramahansa Yogananda and 23rd Foundation day, our chief guest Ms. Swapna Ghosh was compelled by an inner drive and couldn’t resist herself from writing this piece of art-
Courage to be Free, Break all Shackles
On the 5th of Jan, 126 years anon
Heavens ripped asunder, a light brightly shone
A star fell on earth, a Master, a Yogi was born
From this material mire, all souls to save
To transcend to divinity, lessons he gave
A truly enlightened soul, a man proficient in many arts
His moral, ethical sermons ignited many hearts
One of Master’s true disciples had a guided vision
Upliftment of children and youth became his mission
True wisdom and teaching of ancient sages
Were added to technology and scientific knowledge
An idea took shape, a school was born
To break all shackles of traditions, to usher a new morn
To create true men and women, on 6th of Jan
A path breaking institution, its journey began
Thus the disciple brought from darkness to light
The unduly burdened, oppressed children’s plight
Each child was a treasure, trove of talents and skill
They should be nurtured, honed to perfection at will
How many seeds in an apple? Every one can say
But how many apples in one seed? No answers till today
Each child is a seed filled with tremendous possibilities
Efforts are made to perfect their various abilities
Each child was set on the right path to win
Discovering their inner power from within
Inner discipline of Truth and positive, overall training
Will mould true citizens, emancipated human beings
On this auspicious occasion, to the Almighty we pray
May all glory, all success, come the V K E way?
