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 – 4
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.)
Our souls are same
This incident is about the time when both brothers were at the age of around 6 and 7 years. As it was the vacation time, they were attending a morning workshop for kids at the Ramkrishna Temple. The daily two hours routine involved mass prayers, yoga, art and craft activities, snacks, and stories from the life of Shree Ramkrishna Paramhans and Vivekananda and sometimes spiritual interaction with the Swamiji.
One Sunday, both the brothers were deeply engrossed in completing their coloring of a picture given as home assignment at the workshop. As the crayons are easily prone to break down by rough usage at their age, I had labeled the two boxes with their names and asked them to use accordingly. This was the sure way to avoid the cross contamination of broken crayons and putting myself in the situation of being referee to the possible fights.
At some point, the younger one, whose most of the crayons were broken, silently pulled out an intact crayon from the box of the elder one. This was just an attempt to preserve his only full length possession. Noticing this, the elder one immediately snatched back the crayon saying, “Look this is my name on the box”. Being caught, the younger one politely and sweetly answered, “I know it is yours, but what difference it makes whether it is mine or yours. After all our names are different but our souls are same.”
I was astonished to hear this. What a great lesson of understanding and negotiation from a little mouth!! Was this not due to the effect of the spiritual atmosphere on their subconscious? How great is the influence of the environment and people around us on our thoughts and actions!
