Gurupurnima was celebrated with complete fervour in VKV Namsai.
The planning for this was done weeks ahead and accordingly plans were made to associate alumni members, selected parents and students. Accordingly some responsibilities were shared by Smt. Timita Didi, Mocambo Sir, Chow Tichanam Ji , Chow Mowni Singkai and Chow Arvind Jeinow.
Initially it was decided to organise the function at Arunachal University incorporating some students from there also. But the ban on gathering declared by the Disaster Management Body made us to go with another plan. Hence it was decided to go with the programme in our school itself. As the days were passing , the temple authorities announced the Gurupurnima celebration on 23rd July itself. Earlier it happened later or ahead of the Purnima day.
Although it would be day with tight schedule, we planned accordingly and our programme was scheduled accordingly. As per that our programme began at 11 am enabling the students and alumni members to complete their temple visit. But some of them started coming from 9 am onwards as they had to go to faraway places.
Our programme began with Aikya mantra. Chow Tichanam Singkai gave the welcome address. Then there was a Guru bhajan by our teachers. It was followed by our students, alumni members and available parents. Then Sri. Madhu Bal said about the importance of the day. In addition to that a Swadhyaya was initiated and all participated in that. The letter sent by Adareeniya Nivedita Didi was put for discussion. The need of keeping alive the Dharma and the need to knowing the true Dharma was taken up for detailed learning. After this one more Guru bhajan was sung by our students. After that our teacher Sri.Deepankar Dey gave the vote of thanks.
All the members who attended the function left after enjoying the splendid kheer offered from the school. 22 persons attended the program and 8 persons came early to offer pranams to AUM.
Simultaneously a drawing competition was organised for the students of our school. They were asked to draw picture of “the OMKARA or Lord Buddha”.
The Guru Purnima celebration thus made a new beginning in our vidyalaya
