THERE ARE TWO WAYS OF SPREADING LIGHT: TO BE THE CANDLE OR MIRROR THAT REFLECTS IT.

SALUTATION TO THE DAWN - A poem by our famous Indian dramatist KALIDASA

Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In it's brief course
Lie all verities and realities of our existence:
The bliss of growth
The glory of action
The splendor of achievement,
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision,
But today well lived makes every yesterday
a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Such is the salutation to the dawn. "

1] The future is today. There is no tomorrow. Today is our most precious possession.
It is only our sure possession.

2] Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.

3] The best possible way to prepare tomorrow is to concentrate with all our intelligence, and all our enthusiasm on doing today`s work superably today."

Encouragement

Here is a short poem for you, our dear people! Let us read and learn!

"Give me love
And watch me grow.
Give me attention
need it so.

Give me honesty
And watch me be,
A better person
Just wait and see.

Give me respect
And you will find
I can be loving, gentle and kind.

Give me kindness
You won't regret it.

Give me humor
I'll laugh with you.

Be true to me
And I'll be true.

Give me a chance
To just show you
All the good things
That I can do.

Give me friendship
And a little of your time,
Then just stand back
And watch me shine.

Give me encouragement
Just a little will do;
Then let me give
All my love to you. "

The finest gift you can give anyone is encouragement. Yet, almost no one gets the encouragement they need to grow to their full.

A Book is like a Garden, Carried in the Pocket.

Knowledge is like a garden: If it is not cultivated, It cannot be harvested. Learning is a treasure that will follow it's owner everywhere.

1] If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
2] Will is the root, knowledge is the stem and leaves, and feeling is the flower.
3] To teach is to learn twice.
4] Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.
5] A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.

As a brand new day begins, Enjoy the lovely dawn...

Dear Children, Good Morning!

Take time to greet the dawn,
Watch the light appear up high,
As an orange sun starts rising
In the Eastern sky.

The birds are chirping merrily
As a brand new day begins,
So enjoy this lovely morning
And the beauty that it brings.

With Love, Amma-Nana

Good Evening, Dear All!

May the sun shine bright!
You know things are right!

With Love, Amma-Nana
