A Blessing of Joy: Children Light Up OM Ashram

We are always delighted when schoolchildren visit the Shiva temple at OM Ashram.

Recently, we were blessed with two wonderful visits: a large group of students from Dev Public School Ajmer and Jatiya, and a team of young netball champions celebrating their recent victory.

The presence of children is especially dear to our revered Gurudev, His Holiness Vishwaguru Mahamandaleshwar Paramahansa Shree Swami Maheshwarananda Puri Ji Maharaj, founder of OM Ashram.

The students from Dev Public School Ajmer and Jatiya filled the temple with a beautiful mix of discipline and joy.

In a wonderfully creative moment, they formed the sacred OM symbol with their bodies, perfectly mirroring the unique shape of our ashram.

These visits reflect the wisdom of our beloved Gurudev, Vishwaguru Ji, who has always emphasized that education is about setting a positive example.

Gurudev often shared this wisdom: "Education isn't about commanding children—'do this, don't do that.' It is about being the example."

"When parents live joyfully together, children take pride in them. This becomes a blessing," teaches our beloved Gurudev.

"When teachers are good role models, children will respect them and enjoy coming to school to learn."

We also celebrated a visit from the young netball champions, who came with their coach to share their success.

Their new trophy shone brightly in the sun, but their faces beamed with even greater joy and team spirit.

Every visit from these young guests brings a special atmosphere of curiosity and happiness to OM Ashram.
