Nurturing Values in Children is Our Duty: Brahmachari Girish Ji
BHOPAL [Maha Media]: The two-day National Cultural Festival commenced today at Maharishi Kids Home Ayodhya Nagar in Bhopal. The event showcased vibrant performances by young children from Maharishi Kids Home schools across the country.
During the inauguration, Ved Vidya Martand Brahmachari Girish Ji, Chairman of the Maharishi Vidya Mandir School Group, shared a message emphasizing Maharishi Ji's strong belief in instilling traditional Indian values in children from a young age. This foundational principle is intended to help children grow into exemplary global citizens. To realize this vision, Brahmachari Girish Ji initiated the establishment of Maharishi Kids Homes nationwide, aiming to provide value-based education alongside modern schooling. This includes teachings such as the Gayatri Mantra, meal prayers, and regular practice of Transcendental Meditation. The cultural festival is part of the effort to ensure the holistic development of children.
The program began with the ceremonial lighting of the lamp by Shri Vijay Ratna Khare, Director of Communications and Public Relations for the Maharishi Vidya Mandir School Group; Smt. Rita Prakasham, Joint Director of the Maharishi Institute; and Smt. Anjali Singh Kushwaha, Principal of Maharishi Kids Home.
