The spiritual discussion on “Dharam & Maryada” led by P. Pu. Swamiji concluded on 12th Nov. in Lonavala. In his own characteristic manner, he explained that to most, Gaurav and Abhiman may appear to be Indistinguishable. However, for a “Gauravant” person, it is but natural to stay within “limits of Decency and Humility” OR Maryada whereas crossing these “Limits” is the nature of the Arrogant/Abhimani. It is the observance of these limits that is the essence of Hindu Dharma. As far as Hindus are concerned Dharma is not about Faith (or Religion) alone, but the fulfillment of one’s duties is Dharma. Study and Comprehension of Shastras leads to a Value based evaluation of Right & Wrong. Here are some salient Moments.

Param Pujya Swamiji while traveling in Karnataka visited BGS school & addressed the students. BGS School has about 4000 children and is open now for 8, 9&10 grades. It was the first day of school.
Param Pujya Swamiji Said- We own few things and claim them as “mine”. My cycle, my phone, my clothes, my books, etc. Similarly, we claim organs of our body as “mine”. My hand, my leg, my eyes, my ears, etc. All these “mine” are in my control-I use them. True. However, that’s not true for your mind. Though you call mind as ‘my mind’-you hardly use your mind. Sometimes the mind uses you. You don’t manage your mind as you manage your hands, legs etc.
Disciplines taught in school and Prayers that you offer, give you an handle over your mind. When one can manage one’s mind-he or she is “EDUCATED” in true sense. You all are blessed to being educated here at BGS school where discipline and prayers are taught. May you all enjoy blessings of HH Jagadguru Sri Nirmalanandanathji and be Educated in a true sense—!!! Hari Om Student's Memories
