Answer:
Victorious Kidss Educares celebrated its ‘Founder’s Day’ on Monday, 25th June 2018 with much more passion, zeal and enthusiasm than ever before.The whole school campus was spiritually transformed, with abundance and richness of ancient philosophy of Vedanta. The school was vibrantly decorated with articulately placed fresh flowers, elegant drapes and colourful paper rosettes. All present in the school were delighted and were apparently blissful. They were waiting to celebrate the special day of their mentor, legend and philanthropist with a smile. There was excitement and expectation in the air.
This serene ambience glorified when our Founder and President; Sir Robbin Ghosh entered the premise with Principal Saarada Ma’am, and a request to introduce a small session on ‘meditation’ was placed. Sir spoke about, ‘what is meditation and why do we need meditation in our life? He introduced this ancient process as was evolved by Rishi Patanjali and was practiced by Masters of India. The essence of the practice was to end all human sufferings. Meditation is all about knowing ‘who you are’ and to attain an ‘inner peace’. But how do we do it?
We got a chance to experience this supremacy of meditation with Sir, who elucidated the process of Meditation with such simplicity, that everyone was taken away and experienced the ‘Inner Silence’. Sir wanted us all to learn meditation and follow it every day of life. He explained it this way, “Zeroes ~ by itself ~ has no meaning, whatever number of zeroes, you might be putting one after another, unless they are preceded by a number. If you put lots of zeroes, they make no meaning, but if you put a ‘1’ (One) before two such zeroes, it becomes hundred. If you put 1 before three or six zeroes, it becomes a thousand and so on to a million!”
He said, “Our journey, for most of us today, has become materially driven, meaningless, like these zeroes without a preceding number. We are running after money, property, food, body, sensual pleasures and other such material things. But these are not permanent and as given in all religious texts, they are filled with only ‘momentary’ pleasures. These are literally unreal, yet we consider them to be essential and keep adding the zeroes. How can we shift from unreal to real happiness, from darkness of ignorance to wisdom or knowledge of light? Meaningless and endless zeroes to a number? Meditation as per our ancient sages, is the simple answer. He asked us all, if you are feeling cold and shivering, would you not, shift to the corner on your own house, where there is ‘fire’?
Meditation is “stilling the movement of mind”. It is a state of consciousness, when the mind is free of scattered thoughts. Then you connect to the supreme power, which is within you. A secret, a divine force, a light and all your sufferings would be gone. There are people, who say, “We don’t feel like meditating, as there is no desire, no urge for it”. Sir quoted a famous statement from Vedanta,
