Guru Purnima 2025: Ambika Vidyalaya CBSE School Celebrates Guru-Shishya Tradition
Puttur, July 10, 2025: In a spirit of reverence and devotion, Ambika Vidyalaya CBSE School, under the aegis of the Nattoja Foundation Trust, celebrated Guru Purnima with a grandiose event at their Bappalige premises. This auspicious day, dedicated to the sacred bond between guru and shishya, saw the school community gather to pay homage to the invaluable contribution of teachers.
The ceremonial proceedings included a paduka puja, an ancient tradition embodying the profound respect for the role of a guru in dispelling darkness and leading individuals to the path of enlightenment. Teacher Priyashree K.S. delivered an inspiring speech highlighting the guru's pivotal role in guiding pupils from instinctive existence to spiritual purity. She referenced the saying, "If Hari is displeased, the guru protects; but if the guru is displeased, no one can save," to underscore the immense importance of a guru in Indian culture.
Priyashree elucidated that paduka puja transcends the realm of ritual, serving as a symbolic doorway to self-realization and spiritual growth. It embodies the virtues of surrender, faith, and unwavering devotion. The school's commitment to this tradition was reflected in the active participation of students, with Avani explaining the significance of Guru Purnima and Vidya Pai eloquently discussing the profound nature of the guru-shishya relationship.
The paduka puja was performed with great reverence by Subramanya Nattoj, the chairman of Ambika Group of Educational Institutions, accompanied by Vice Principal Sujani Borkar and teachers Nirmala, Kusuma, and Suchitra. The event was not just a tribute to knowledge but also an opportunity for students to exhibit their burgeoning talents, as the newly enrolled pupils dazzled the audience with their cultural performances.
