Basant Panchami – 3 February 2025

Four years ago, on this auspicious occasion of Basant Panchami, the foundation stone of Rashtrotthan Gurukul was laid. Today, cherishing that auspicious memory, we all together organized the first cultural festival in the Gurukul campus.

The basic idea of this event was –
“The fragrance of our culture, the colors of our pride.”
And this very idea flowed in every moment of the entire program.

Highlights of the festival

Children’s first public performance
The result of years of ascetic efforts for education and culture was seen today. The children gave a wonderful demonstration of their talent and devotion through the Vedas, Gita and Sanskrit hymns, which was a matter of pride and happiness for all present.
The dignified presence of social worker Shri Vikas Gupta Ji added distinction to the program. His address included appreciation of the efforts of our Gurukul as well as best wishes for the bright future of the children.

Dialogue with the Mother Power by Acharya Yogesh Ji
An extremely inspiring dialogue was organised, stressing on the formation of values through mothers, which left all the mothers present extremely emotional.

Blessings of the Chief Guest Shri Gyaneshwar Dwivedi Ji
Gyaneshwar Ji, who dedicated his life to social service and nation building, inspired the children to follow the ideals of Shri Ram, Krishna and Vivekananda. His message was that “A life consisting of strength, wisdom and devotion is a life of true national service.”
The enthusiastic presence of the rural masses and parents made the program even more grand and meaningful.

Final Quote
This festival was not just a program, it was a living manifestation of our Indianness. This event reminds us that the real purpose of education is not just the acquisition of knowledge, but the cultivation of values, service and culture.
This first cultural festival of Rashtrautthan Gurukulam infused a new inspiration, which will blossom in an even more beautiful form in the years to come.
