Atmiya Family lives a life that never gets tired to enjoy!
Besides rigorous study schedule, with a harmonious mix of variant creed Atmiya Family has always a reason to celebrate; all the festivals have retained their uniqueness as they are celebrated here with deep fervour. Most of the celebrations are woven around religious occasions.
The whole of Atmiya Vidya Mandir sprang up with joy as uproarious festivity proposes many mood of merriment. To begin with the festive season, it was the time to celebrate Rathyatra: the festival which is unique in a way that it beckons an interesting blend of east and the west. The festival marks the return of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Goddess Subhadra to their home Vrindavan after a long gap. According to puranas, Jagannath is the reincarnation of Lord Krishna.
A big chariot was arranged by the hostel staff for the procession of these deities and students adorn the chariot with flowers. In the chariot, they kept the clay images of Jagannath, his brother Balaram and sister Subhadra.
The saints from Haridham did pujan of Thakorji and the deities. They also accompanied the chariots along with the students. Devotional songs were played and procession moved throughout the school premises with the sound of drums, tambourines, trumpets etc.. They pulled the holy chariot paving their way through the school premises by singing, dancing, and distributing packets of prasadam.
Though students enjoyed a lot but they also understood that all the festivals have some profound meaning in it and they have some pragmatic purpose as well.
“If music be the food of love, play on, give me excess of it…..” beseeching the same was the common spirit among the students and teachers of Atmiya Vidya Mandir on this Saturday evening(3rd July 2010) as they were enjoying the first ever solo singing contest: Star Voice Of AVM.

/0 Comments/in Hindi Poetry, Prayer /by AVM Teachersप्रभु के चक्षु से बहता पानी
आज प्रभु के चक्षु से बह रहा था पानी।
जैसे, बह रहा हो झरना, सुना रहा हो कहानी।।
प्रभु की सर्जित दुनिया में –
आज मनुष्य द्वारा मनुष्य की हो रही थी निलामी।
जैसे आग का दरिया और समुद्र का खारा पानी।।
आज प्रभु के चक्षु से…
प्रेम से सँवारकर प्रभु ने मनुष्य की मूरत बनाई।
मूल्यों से सजाकर उसने हम से लीला करवाई।।
खुश हुआ प्रभु , हाँ…… खुश हुआ प्रभु ।
जब मनुष्य ने आत्मीयता की अलख जगाई।।
अरे! आज क्या हुआ मनुज को –
अरे! आज क्या हुआ मनुज को –
जो उसने अपनों की ही खिल्ली उड़ाई।।
आज प्रभु के चक्षु से…
मनुष्य ही मनुष्य का कर रहा था अनादर।
नफ़रत की सभी ने ओढ़ ली थी चादर।।
जिस धर्म ने सभी को जुड़ना सिखाया।
उसी धर्म के वास्ते, हाँ, आज उसी धर्म के वास्ते,
सभी मनुष्यों ने एक-दूजे का खून बहाया।
अतः प्रभु ने सभी को अपने आँसू से नहलाया।।
इसलिए…
आज प्रभु के चक्षु से बह रहा था पानी।
जैसे, बह रहा हो झरना, सुना रहा हो कहानी।।

जीवन रूपी बगिया का माली – प्रभु !…
/0 Comments/in Poetry, Prayer /by AVM Teachersहे प्रभु !…
यह जीवन एक बगिया और तुम हो माली।
हम सब की डोर तुमने ही सँभाली।
जब कभी मुसीबतों की आँधी आई,
मेरी झुकती हुई डाली, तुमने ही सहलाई।।
जीवन रूपी बगिया में,
वात्सल्य की फुहार बहाकर,
प्रेमरूपी वर्षा का पानी बरसाकर।
हे प्रभु! तुमने यह पुष्प का चमन तो खिलाया।
मगर साथ में काँटों का सरताज क्यों पहनाया।।
फूलों की खुशबू से जीवन हुआ खुशहाल,
पर काँटों की चुभन ने तो, जीना किया दुशवार।।
हे प्रभु! अब तू ही बता अपना यह हाल मैं किसे सुनाउँ!
तेरे सिवा न किसी ओर को अपने इर्द-गिर्द पाऊँ।।
काँटों की चुभन को तू सहना सीखा दे।
इसकी चुभन सहकर भी खुश रहना सीखा दे।
सीखा दे वह सब कुछ जो कुछ तू हमसे चाहता।।
हे प्रभु! जीवन रूपी बगिया का जब तू माली बन बैठा,
तो अब जीवन के दुख-दर्द से हमारा क्या वासता।
हे प्रभु ! हे प्रभु ! हे प्रभु ! ….
