These VACATIONS are well-deserved by our class 10 students hence some might be escaping the summer heat amidst the cooling breeze of hills, some might be enjoying at the playground in the May sunshine, some must be savouring the mango-bites with grannies, some may be socializing with relatives at functions and some might be basking in the gentle air of their native place but there was a sudden halt to this relished-relaxed holidaying when CBSE announced result of class 10 for the year 2013-14.

The complex and vast syllabus and critical assessment criteria made it quite an intimidating affair for the teachers to enable these students to be competent and meet the standards of CBSE but with the kind grace and blessings of HDH Param Pujya Swamiji, the result turned out to be 100%. This time 59 hardy heads appeared in this examination out of which substantially weighty number of 20 students scored between 9.2 and 9.8 CGPA, remarkably 15 students scored between 8 and 9 CGPA nevertheless 10 students secured their position between 8 and 7 CGPA whereas those who had their own challenges did not give up with 6 and 7 CGPA, and quite honourably, 3 students bagged the perfect 10 CGPA.

SCHOOL TOPPERS

This was a crucial phase for the students and teachers as they were preparing for this board exam with much anticipation and calculations of ‘expected marks’, it was a herculean task to guide and train the impulsive and fun-filled minds to meet the challenges of board examination yet their unshakable faith and boundless confidence kept it firm that hard work always gives rewarding results. The relentless efforts and endeavours of the students, teachers and hostel staff made this feat possible.

In a nutshell, there’s an enduring axiom of success which students of class 10 batch of 2013-14 lived i.e. “Simply get started, make mistakes, listen to the feedback, correct and keep moving forward towards the goal”.

CONGRATULATIONS to all students of Grade 10, their parents and teachers!!!

Being blessed by Him to be better

March 23, 2014/0 Comments/in AVM Updates, Motivational, Value Based Education /by Seema Joshi

It was the eventful month of February and the so called examination mammoth was inching closer……the students and the teachers were feeling nipped; Occasionally, the pursuit of targets left the minds weary and the fatigue engulfed these mortal forms,… as if passivity was hovering over for its prey: consequently, a growing urge for a divine help was apparent from the swelling visitors to the altar at school’s prayer hall….hurrah !!!! The prayers were answered!!! His Divine Holiness Param Pujya Hariprasad Swamiji Maharaj arrived at AVM, His very glimpse was like a sight of an oasis by the parched travellers, there were delighted faces and elated hearts, the joy was unfathomable as the students, the teachers and the entire AVM family and everything around here.. took on a bright sheen as if rejuvenated and imbued with happiness by His presence.

His boundless love for the students called for an assembly (Sabha) which was held in the school prayer hall on 25th February 2014. The hall was brimmed with devoted heads and eager hearts as Swamishree addressed all with His kind and deep concern. To begin with, the students sang a heart stirring lyrical hymn… adding a bit edge to the ardent ambiance and there came a benign smile on Swamishree’s face as He listened to these prayers being offered to Him. Purvesh Sir handled the mic and being a zestful host of the programme, he shared a few incidences where students of AVM evidently practised ideal behaviour in classes, playground and in hostel. Soon after Vinamrabhai of Std 8th was invited on the stage to present a brief report on cultural activities through which lessons of harmony and the moral values are imparted to the students. Thereafter, Purvesh Sir specified a few more incidents stating how the very mission of the school “Union of Body, Mind and Soul” is being accomplished. This brought an appreciating and enchanting gesture on Swamishree’s face and His encompassing gaze left us in total bliss. After that Abhishekbhai Ariwala and Nileshbhai Yadav of Std 12th offered a prayer on behalf of all students and asked for His blessings in all their endeavours. It was followed by a much awaited and momentous opportunity for the students of class 12th to get one-to–one meeting with Swamishree. He was being affectionate, listening patiently to each one of them enveloping them in His divine aura and blessing them.

Then came the ever auspicious “better one day in your court than thousand elsewhere” moment, when Swamishree voiced His golden words. How convincingly yet persuasively He explained to the students that they should always be extremely respectful to their parents and withdraw instantly the very thought of aggressiveness towards elders in the family! Students listened very earnestly when Swamishree stressed over becoming God-Loving and adopting the habit of resorting to prayers in all times. Moreover, He strengthened their commitment and zeal for being better by insisting them to avoid watching distracting movies and keeping good company. Thus, Swamishree blessed students not only for a brilliant career but induced the contemplation to lead a fearless existence with righteousness, purity of intentions, positive thinking and focused mind.

If glorious sun shines above our head … what more light needed to be asked for? Seemingly Swamishree’s very presence among us exudes a powerful scent of serenity, how fortunate we are to be sheltered under His umbrella of love and enjoying the bliss!!!!!!!
