A Teachers role in the life of a student
Jeeyar Gurukulam at Katarivaripalem is a school established under the aegis of Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji after the area was devastated during Tsunami in 2007. This was one of the relief activities taken up by volunteers inspired by Sri Swamiji. The school currently serves 123 students free of cost without compromising on the quality of education to students. Despite challenges from parents who prefer their kids to work along with them, the school has managed to retain more than 85% of the admitted children through awareness. Sri Swamiji visited the school on 28th March as part of annual meet conducted by the school authorities. Swamiji interacted with students closely to examine their level of understanding on social aspects, academic skills, and attitude. Sri Swamiji is keen to provide necessary training to local teachers so that the children are brought up correctly. Ultimate goal is to raise children to a level that they can take care of the people in their village and increase the standard of life style to a more productive and happy population! Speaking on the occasion, Swamiji said ‘A sculptor does not add anything, but removes unnecessary parts from a stone to make it easier for us to worship. A child also is spotless in knowledge naturally, but there are several unnecessary and unwanted aspects that he gets attracted to. These need to be carefully removed to make him an inspiration for others!’

How many of us are fond of butterflies!? We will be thrilled to have one sit on our shoulder won’t we? Once upon a time, there was a small kid who was anxiously watching beautiful butterflies in his backyard. The colours of the butterflies excited him very much! He watched and noticed how the butterfly grows up. The early stage of an egg, larva and pupa. In the stage of larva, it feeds on leaves or flowers and slowly builds a nest around it. After a few days, it makes a small hole, slowly tries bit by bit to come out and then emerges in beautiful colours! The kid was very shocked at how much the butterfly struggled to come out of the tiny hole. He wanted to make life easy for the butterfly. He then chose one butterfly at that stage and opened up the hole, brought it out with him. It was all white in colour. He waited for couple of days, but there were no colours. It remained white and pale. One day, a bird was flying around the same area and grabbed this butterfly and ran away. The butterfly had no strength in its feathers to even escape from the bird! So, did the kid make life easy for the butterfly!? Ponder on… Only when you work hard, you build the ability to overcome any hardships! If the butterfly was let to work on its own to come out of the nest, the struggle releases certain chemicals from its body giving the wings colours while adding the strength required in the wings. colours while adding the strength required in the wings. So, when teachers wake you up at 5:00 am for Yoga, followed by Prayers and then the school routine – don’t feel troubled, remember the story of the butterfly, work hard and aim high! You will then fly in beautiful colours bringing glory to your parents, your teachers and above all be thankful to yourself for staying through this system! The school has gone through and is going through some challenges, but has achieved the strength to grow by overcoming them…! Many dignitaries attended the event and expressed their support and were awed by the great performances of the children, and the way the school is conducted. Rama Rao Garu, Smt. Prashanti, Nirmala District Collector, Minister Allola Indrakaran Reddy ji all spoke on the occasion and blessed the children, and congratulated the staff and all involved. Click Here For More Photos
