The color, symbolizes the sun, the eternal source of energy. It spreads warmth, optimism, enlightenment. It is the liturgical color of deity Saraswati - the goddess of knowledge.
The shape, neither a perfect circle nor a perfect square, gives freedom from any fixed pattern of thoughts just like the mind and creativity of a child. It reflects eternal whole, infinity, unity, integrity & harmony.
The ' child' within, reflects our child centric philosophy; the universal expression to evolve and expand but keeping a child’s interests and wellbeing at the central place.
The name, "Maa Sharda;" is a mother with divinity, simplicity, purity, enlightenment and healing touch, accommodating all her children indifferently. This venture itself is an offering to her........
Lessons From Little Ones – 10
Part of series of articles published in IMAX (monthly journal of IMA Rajkot) based on real life incidents-2016
(As adults, we are always eager to teach children but often the little ones give us beautiful lessons in unexpected ways……Sharing here a series of such incidents mostly with my own children and few from other kids as well. They have created long lasting imprints on my memory.)
Save animals
A poor man once lived in the outskirts of a village, in a hut, with four children and wife. He used to collect and sale wood from the forests, run small errands and sold the milk of the cow, his only possession.
Once a sage and his disciple passed by his hut and rested inside for a while. He saw the plight of the poor family and understood that the men and his wife had become lazy and lived in a state of self pity. He realized that most of their earning and dependence was on the cow. If the cow did not exist, they would have to rely on some permanent source of income and come out of laziness. While leaving the hut, he silently got hold of the cow, gazing around and pushed her down the hillside into the valley. The disciple was taken aback by this merciless deed. The sage explained him this was necessary to change the poor man’s attitude and his future.
After few years the sage and his disciple again travelled through the same village and the same outskirts. The hut was replaced by a small house. The man and his wife were working in the nearby field owned by a rich merchant of the village. On inquiring the children has been to a nearby school. The sage left the place with a satisfied smile. The disciple understood that the dependence on the cow was hindering the poor man’s family from working hard and earning a long term fortune.
As this story ended from my side, my little one retorted immediately,” You could have narrated the same story even without killing the cow. The sage could have taken the cow with himself and donated it to an orphanage or ashram where the cow could survive well and the milk can be used for so many people.”
This time it was my turn to get a surprising lesson of “Save animals”
