Inter-House Table Tennis Competition

Competition breeds excellence!

It has been a dream for the Founder of the Atmiya Vidya Mandir: H.D.H. Hariprasad Swamiji Maharaj that there be an environment of keen competition and yet true sportsmanship in the school. One could easily witness that dream manifest during the inter-house table tennis competition that took place on the 9-10 July 2010 at Atmiya Vidya Mandir.

The cheering and backing up of the fellow housemates, the anxious shouts of the house teachers, the disappointments due to some bad shots and the excitement due to some shots by the players and overall a very high-energy, thrilling, suspense-packed competition was witnessed in the table tennis court in the basement of the Admin building.

This was the second inter-house competition of the year and turned out to be an awesome clash of the titans, literally!

Satyam House turned out to be the overall winners including both the Junior (Classes 6-7) as well as the Senior (Classes 8-9-10-11) categories.

Jilbhai Patel of Class 7 and Harshbhai Sarda of Class 8 were the champions in the respective categories.

Sundaram House were the runner-up in the competition followed by the Shivam House at the third place and Suhradam House at fourth.

Having said that, actually it was Excellence and the Courage of all the students that won the competition…..and we look forward to many such victories.

Do come along!

Atmiya Family lives a life that never gets tired to enjoy!

Besides rigorous study schedule, with a harmonious mix of variant creed Atmiya Family has always a reason to celebrate; all the festivals have retained their uniqueness as they are celebrated here with deep fervour. Most of the celebrations are woven around religious occasions.

The whole of Atmiya Vidya Mandir sprang up with joy as uproarious festivity proposes many mood of merriment. To begin with the festive season, it was the time to celebrate Rathyatra: the festival which is unique in a way that it beckons an interesting blend of east and the west. The festival marks the return of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Goddess Subhadra to their home Vrindavan after a long gap. According to puranas, Jagannath is the reincarnation of Lord Krishna.

A big chariot was arranged by the hostel staff for the procession of these deities and students adorn the chariot with flowers. In the chariot, they kept the clay images of Jagannath, his brother Balaram and sister Subhadra.

The saints from Haridham did pujan of Thakorji and the deities. They also accompanied the chariots along with the students. Devotional songs were played and procession moved throughout the school premises with the sound of drums, tambourines, trumpets etc.. They pulled the holy chariot paving their way through the school premises by singing, dancing, and distributing packets of prasadam.

Though students enjoyed a lot but they also understood that all the festivals have some profound meaning in it and they have some pragmatic purpose as well.
