BGIS - One of the Top Boarding Schools in India

On 25th of December BGIS had a wonderful day of celebration of the divine disappearance day of His Divine Grace Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur, the spiritual master of the ISKCON founder Acharya Srila Prabhupada.
Famously known as lion guru, Bhaktisiddhanta Thakur, unfazed preached ‘the most urgent message’ of Krishna Consciousness. And much in the same spirit, our beloved Srila Prabhupada distributed this message throughout the world.
In order to impress the Gurukulis with this ‘urgency of KC’ and ‘quality of our revered Acharyas’, we had a half day long celebration program at our Gurukul common hall.

The program was attended by all the Gurukulis. The program started with heartfelt invocation prayers by our music teacher HG Durjaya Krishna Prabhu, followed by Vaishnava songs by some of senior Gurukulis. We also had an amazing and well coordinated Mridanga performance by junior Gurukulis, trained by Bablu Prabhu.
HH Prabodhananda Maharaj graced the occasion by giving a brief talk on the life of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur. Many students, who haven’t had much knowledge about Srila Bhaktisiddhanta, were really inspired by the personality of Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur.
The determination of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur, as exhibited in Mango pastime- vow of not eating mangoes throughout the life, and the Mayapur pastime- where for 9 continuous years he chanted 192 rounds every day, impressed the students the most, as evident from their recollections of the lecture.
‘At the age of mere 5, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta- when he inadvertently ate the unoffered mangoes- took a vow not to eat mangoes rest of his life, and he kept his vow. This DETERMINATION is simply mind –blowing. May we also get a drop of that.’, comments HG NityaMukund Das.
The program concluded with Puspanjali offerings, Guru puja and Dancing kirtans. After a half day long fasting, everyone relished the mega feast prepared especially for the occasion. Altogether it was a blissful experience.
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur ki Jai!!
