Here's what our Parents and Children say
Spending time with Nature brings Care and Kindness
Y Narasimha Rao & Y Aruna says, “Our daughter Gayatri, grade 10, has become more sensible to her activities, able of concentrate more and we have observed calmness in her behaviour. She loves to enjoy every moment, which also inspires us. This change has taken place after she has started spending time with the Nature.” According to them it is important to learn good values in the formative years of each child, and that the rich heritage should pass on to the young generation, with the best method of being in a simple way.
Gayatri says, “After spending an hour daily playing outdoors has given me a connect to the Nature. Caring for the trees, plants and animals in the environment has brought realization of peace within me itself. Before, I used to get irritated on petty things, but now I find myself cool and calm while handling many big issues.”
Connect God through Meditation and Prayers
Satish Kr. Dargan, Nanaji of Abeer, grade 9, is content and satisfied when his teachings laid for his children and grandchildren being followed, as to believe firmly on God connect through Meditation and Prayers. He says, “I was moved by the incident when one day I heard my son telling his younger sister, that don’t ask anything from Papa, just tell God your wish and HE will fulfill through Papa”.
Abeer narrates, “Few years ago, I was bullied by my friend Bhavya. Whenever I went out to play, he bullied me. He was a rich class and I was a middle class. He had many expensive toys. He bullied me my outfit. One day, I was fired because of him. I told my problems to my grandfather who follows a Guru named Paramhansa Yogananda. My grandfather asked me to visualize the problem. He also told to meditate and pray to God, and ask HIM me not to be bullied. I followed. The next day only, my friend Bhavya came to me, said sorry and promised me never to bully me again. From that day I believed in Meditation.” Today, Abeer’s passion is to play cricket.
Group joining brings Confidence
Amit and Rupa Banerjee, parents of Aryan, grade 8, are happy to see the change in their son, after he has been participating in group activities of ‘Smiley Club’ like making a painting in nature, penning down the ways to show care and kindness towards animals and plants. They say, “Aryan has improved on taking his tasks with focused and independent way. He has become calmer and more peaceful.” They say, his participation in Christmas celebration of ‘Smiley Club’ children group and volunteering to become Santa Claus, has played an important role in his life, as he has started loving, showing care and kindness to all, the way Santa does. “It is satisfying to see our son learning through the inspiring stories, a part of curriculum of ‘Smiley Club’s’ Sessions.
Aryan too observes and says, “I am able to speak fearlessly and with confidence with my friends, teachers and with elders. Daily meditation and connect to Nature are some forms which is helping me to improve on remembrance power.”
Spending time with Parents is like Recharging
Chandan Dargan says, “My daughter Abhiti, grade 8, as entering the higher grades, coming home with a lot of homework and preparation for exams, has been overwhelming for her and me too, but has pushed her more towards the studies with a time constraint for other activities. But I consciously started a ‘daddy-daughter time’ go out for a walk nearby, talk about her day, both good and not so good moments, dinner menu, upcoming events and discuss her hobbies. By the time we come back home she is relaxed and ready to put her mind on her work she is about to do. A brief connects to the Nature, surcharge her mind and will power. The peace and strength she gain pushes her in the right direction.”
Abhiti says, “Sometimes, I have a overloaded day at school filled with assessments, exams, and a lot of more work. Meditation this time gives me relaxation. Initially, when I started doing meditation, tried to silence my thoughts and concentrate on breath, it took a lot of effort. But now by practicing it daily, a great sense of calmness, tranquility and serenity is felt all through the day, which recharges me all the time.”
How Meditation helped in shaping the Career
I am Tanishq Ojha, a proud student of Nidhi Ma'am. While her academic teachings were invaluable, it is her guidance in spirituality that has truly shaped me. Through meditation, she instilled in me not just knowledge, but a deeper understanding of myself and the world around me. Today, as I pursue my Bachelor's in Data Science at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, I cannot overstate the role her teachings have played in my journey. Nidhi Ma'am, your influence has been profound, both professionally and personally. Thank you for everything. With heartfelt gratitude and love.
Impact of Spirituality and Optimism brought focus in Life
I’m Sanjana Tilakwar, currently working as an intern in CRISIL and pursuing MBA from Symbiosis College, Pune. I believe that all my learnings and positive outlook on life has come from Nidhi aunty, from whom I’ve learnt the importance and impact of Spirituality and being optimistic in life and how it has made me more focused in life.
I am very grateful to her that how beautifully she has had made me understand all the little things in life, that are making more sense to me now, after realizing the real and practical world. The person she is and how she has influenced the lives of each of her student is immeasurable. I wish every person could have a Nidhi aunty in their lives. Beyond the education imparted by her, the spiritual learnings I’ve received, l and my parents will be always grateful and I wish that through this medium, maximum people are benefitted by her teachings and can understand that how small learnings teach big things in life and the importance of it. Wherever I go in life, I will never forget my roots and her teachings. I’m thankful to God that I met a person like her in my life.
