DPSN……… the Place to Be!

India is a land of cultural diversity. We thrive and

celebrate every event as a festival holding a very

significant story behind each one of them.

Festivals are a time to meet and greet our near and

dear ones and share our joys with them. It’s a time

for sharing and giving.

Through these festivals we inculcate the values of

harmony, respect and develop our cultural ethos

which is taking a back seat in our evolving western

culture. This Diwali as we celebrate let us impart

the meaning of every mantra chanted during the puja, every ritual has a significance

impart that information to the child. The essence of a folded hand Namaste or Pranam,

applying of the Tilak and bowing in salutation to our elders for Ashirvad must be explained

to our children.

Every religion has certain rituals to follow which makes us better human beings and the

same must be imparted to the children. Students must be exposed to extended families

which will imbibe collaboration and acceptance in our ever shrinking nuclear families.

Mingling with the elders, friends and cousins broaden the child’s perspective of a larger

family and the accommodations required to adjust which is dwindling away in the so called

“short and sweet family”. We are a nation whose ideology “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam -

The World is my Famliy”. The phrase is taken from Maha Upnishad of chapter 6 अयं बन्धुरयं

नेति गणना लघुचेिसाम् । उदारचररिानां िु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम् ॥ भावाभावतवतनमुुकं्त जरामरणवर्जुिम् । प्रशान्िकलनारभ्यं

नीरागं पदमाश्रय ॥ एषा ब्राह्मी तथितििः थवच्छा तनष्कामा तवगिामया । आदाय तवहरने्नव ंसङ्कटेषु न मुह्यति ॥

Let us exalt in the celebrations and include the needy, poor and destitute that need our

love, affection, acceptance and care.

PERCY JACKSON - THE TITAN’S CURSE [BASED ON GREEK MYTHOLOGY]

Percy Jackson –The Titan’s Curse is the book I like the most. It is written by Rick

Reardon. It’s about the life of Percy Jackson, the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea. The

book is full of fantasy, adventure and mythical story characters and monsters. I like this

book as in this book Percy Jackson along with his friends-Annabeth and Grover from

half-blood camp and Bianca De Angelo and Zoe night shade from the hunters lead by

the Artemis-Goddess of hunting but she gets kidnapped by the evil Titan Crones for his

revenge on Olympus because the god of Olympus chopped and imprisoned him in dark

pits of Hell- tortures. Now the five heroes go to save the chained Goddess. But guess

what the prophecy says not all will return. This is an imaginative story I would suggest

everybody to read.
