सर्वप्रथम शरीर का स्थिर होना ज़रुरी है। एक संत ने कहा है—

“ तन स्थिर मन स्थिर”

अर्थात मन को स्थिर करना हो तो प्रथम तन यानि शरीर की चंचलता को स्थिर करना पड़ेगा और शरीर को स्थिर करने के लिए छात्रों को यह ज्ञान होना चाहिए कि हमें शरीर को स्थिर कयों करना है अर्थात उनको ज्ञान होना चाहिए कि मुझे ऐसा कयों करना चाहिए और ऐसा क्यों नहीं करना चाहिए।

बच्चों को बेन्च पर बैठे-बैठे पैर हिलाने की आदत, चारों तरफ अकारण देखते रहने की आदत, कलम अर्थात पेन घुमाने की आदत आदि से मज़बूर हो गए होते हैं। यानि वें मस्ती करते रहते हैं।

यदि उसे पता हो कि कहाँ मस्ती करनी चाहिए और कहाँ मस्ती नहीं करनी चाहिए तथा क्यों? इस प्रश्न को वे भली-भाँति समझते हो तो वह छात्र पढ़ाई में जाग्रत रहता हैं।

इसी उद्देश्य की पूर्ति हेतु कक्षा 8वी ब में—

“कहाँ मस्ती करनी चाहिए तथा कहाँ मस्ती नहीं करनी चाहिए, तथा क्यों ?”—इस विषय पर दिनांक 17 जून से 23 जून 2012 के मध्य एक सप्ताह तक वाद-विवाद ( Debate ) का आयोजन किया गया।

संपूर्ण वर्ग के 32 बच्चों को पाँच जूथों में विभाजित किया गया। संपूर्ण प्रवृत्ति का आयोजन विषय शिक्षक श्री मुकेशभाई जोशी के मार्गदर्शन में गतिशील रहा।

वाद-विवाद के अंत में जो निष्कर्ष निकला उसके कुछ मुद्दे निम्नलिखित हैं—

1. वर्गखंड में मस्ती में नहीं करनी चाहिए, क्योकि उससे हमारी एकाग्रता में बाधा आती है तथा पढ़ाई पर असर पड़ता है।

2. प्रार्थना कक्ष में दैवत्व अर्थात भक्ति का वातावरण होता हैं, जहाँ पर हमें भगवान के आशिष प्राप्त होते हैं, अत: वहाँ शिस्त (अदब) अति आवश्यक है।

3. भोजनालय में यदि एकाग्रता से शांतिपूर्वक भोजन करते हैं तो पाचक रस का निर्माण अधिक होता है, जिससे हमारा भोजन सुपाच्य बनता है।

4. छात्रालय में अवकाश के समय(Free Time) तथा खेल के मैंदान में जब सिर्फ़ समय व्यतीत करने के उद्देश्य से खेल रहे हो, तब किसी को शारीरिक या मानसिक हानि न पहुँचे इस तरह शिस्तता का पालन करते हुए मस्ती कर सकते हैं।

इस प्रकार बच्चों ने आनंद लेते हुए ज्ञान प्राप्त किया तथा आचरण में लेने का निर्णय लिया।

Our teachers!!!!!!!!!!!

These individuals seem to be God sent at Atmiya Vidya Mandir
Come let’s celebrate all these people who have made an impact on us from day one!

Let us celebrate Teacher’s Day!

…these expressions are like drops in the ocean of the great qualities that teachers of Atmiya Vidya Mandir possess. To give reverence to such teachers, students of Atmiya Vidya Mandir organised a heartfelt cultural programme and stage show on the pious day of 5th September 2012 widely known in India as the Teachers Day.

And finally the day arrived. All students were seated in the prayer hall when the teachers made their grand entry. A memorable programme was organized to honour teachers with most powerful expression. Bestowing it with dignity and enriching it with a deeper sense of respect, the junior students welcomed the teachers by doing poojan and showering flowers on them. Then welcomed and greeted by the senior students, the teachers took their seats at the centre of the hall.

Having been well instilled with the belief that, nothing happens without the blessings of God, the hosts of the show (Raj, Sagar K, Harsh) invited the dignitaries of the school to do the poojan of Thakorji. Speaking on the occasion, Abhishek Ariwala gave a stirring speech about teachers day, he signified the importance of teachers in one’s life by narrating his experience at the school. Then started the cultural events of the day. The first performers to set fire on the stage were the AVM singing idols: Nilesh, Viraj, Yash, Abhishek D, Jigar, Nirmal, Anmol and Parag. They sang melodious songs with their sensational voice which mesmerized the audience, especially the teachers who couldn’t hold back their emotions and praised the students for their performance through their applause.

The amazing hosts of the event did a marvellous job just like professionals they were at the nook by keeping the audience entertained with their spontaneous bubbly remarks which had the teachers doubling up and rippling with laughter, reacting with resounding claps of joy. With enticing queries, they moved around the audience asking the students to say a few words about their favourite teachers, the hosts also asked the new teachers about their experience at the school.

After this, cards were presented to the teachers by the students along with their unique qualities written in it. This was followed by the groundbreaking and electrifying one-of-a-kind dance performance by Harsh Ambalia and group which was themed to thank the teachers for guiding us, inspiring us and making us what we are today and will be tomorrow.

The most emotional and heart touching event of the celebration were the glimpses of the teachers presented by the students in the form of a video which left everybody in the prayer hall in a state of nostalgia and awe. The glimpses enforced the message of love and caring that the teachers and student possess for one another.

Then came the legendary performance of the celebration by the group of Suhradam Sir which consisted of an unbelievable number of 256 students who performed on the song – You Have Made A Difference. The teachers were so emotionally touched that they couldn’t stop themselves from giving an applause with all their hands high in the air and which seemed to last forever. Finally it was clear that through their diverse creativity and dedication the students conveyed the message of samarpan to the teachers and that their love and affection for their teachers is deeper than any ocean and higher than the skies.

In the school, the students took up the teaching job while the teachers sat in the classes alongside other students, enjoying the teaching of their students. It was a onetime experience to see the students dressed like teachers walking down the corridors shoulder to shoulder with the teachers. The whole day was very eventful and left treasurable memories in everybody’s minds.
