SBM ACTIVITY DIARY FOR 2015-16
Date and Activity details at Delhi
04.04.15 at 10.30AM - 13.00 PM
I,Vishnu ,along with Mrs.Neeti Mittal visited Sarvodaya Vidyalaya,Aliganj, and Govt.Co-ed. S S School , 22-Block, Lodhi Colony.
समयः 10.30 बजे प्रातः , स्थल- सर्वोदय विद्यालय , अलीगंज ,लोधी कोलोनी,
सर्व प्रथम स्कूल के प्रधानाध्यापक महोदय श्रीमान लक्षमी चन्द जी ने श्रीमान त्यागी जी से परिचय करवाया एवम् उन्हें सभी अध्यापकों को एकत्र करने के लिये आदेश दिया जिन्हें हमने सम्बोधन करना था ।
चूंकि कुछ ही समय में भोजन अवकाश होना था इसलिए मीटिंग को एक घण्टे के बाद 11.30बजे तक के लिए स्थगित कर दिया ।
अतः इस अन्तराल में हम लोगों ने ( श्रीमति नीति मित्तल और मैं ) Govt.Co-ed. SSSchool , 22-Block, Lodhi Colony.जा कर प्रधानाचार्या श्रीमति नीरजा अरोड़ा जी से अनुरोध कर वहाँ उपस्थित अध्यापकों (लगभग12-13 ) को सम्बोधित किया ।
मुख्यतः अध्यापकों को ही बच्चों का चरित्र निर्माता समझा जाता है और कक्षा में बच्चे शांती से बैठ कर शिक्षा गृहण कर सकें इसके लिये आवश्यक है कि क्या कोई विधी ऐसी है कि जिसके अभ्यास करने मात्र से कक्षामें विद्यार्थी शांत रहकर अध्यापक को ध्यान से सुने जो उसे पढ़ाया जा रहा है । चूंकि बच्चों में चंचल वृत्ति उन्हें शांत रहने में आड़े आती है । इसलिए
विद्यार्थियों में चंचल वृत्ति सम्बन्धित क्रियाओं को कैसे प्राकृतिक तरीके से ध्यान के माध्यम से नियमित अभ्यास द्वारा संयम (CONTROL) पैदा कर सकते हैं ।
अतः इससे पहले हम यह एहसास सर्व प्रथम स्वयं ही अगर करें तो क्या उचित न रहेगा और अन्ततः आपको ही उनमे जो भी बदलाव होंगे या नहीं देखना या मापना होगा क्योंकि साक्षी तो आप ही होंगे । तत्- पश्चात वहां उपस्थित अध्यापकों को 15-20 मिनट ध्यान में बैठाया और उनसे यह जानने के लिये पूछा कि उन्हें कैसा अनुभव हुआ तो मात्र एक अध्यापक के अन्य सभी को अच्छा लगा क्योंकि वह बताये हुए तरीके से ध्यान में नहीं बैठे थे । तथा उन सभी से भी इसका नियमित अभ्यास करने के लिये अनुरोध किया जिसके लिये वे स्वयं तैयार थे ।
अगली बार वहां मिलकर कक्षा 10 वी एवम् 11वी के विद्यार्थियो को समबोधित करने के लिये दिनांक 25.04.2015 को प्रातः 10.00बजे का समय निश्चित हुआ ।
तत्-पश्चात फिर से वापिस Sarvodaya Vidyalaya,Aliganj,12.00 बजे पहुंचे और वहां पर उस विद्यालय के अध्यापकों (23-24 लगभग) को भी उपरोक्त विषय पर सम्बोधित किया एवम् अभ्यास करवाया ।Mrs. Neeti Mittal shared her experiences as to how in last 20 years she had undergone characteristic changes and got strength mentally to win over the challanges of the life both at home and office alike. Here again the teachers were informed as to how they could benefit out of the practice of the System of Meditation in their personal life as well as for knowing the students better about their interests and choices and help them moderate by just posing and asking the students to share their experiences during meditation practices they follow at home in morning and evening for 15 minutes.
अगली बार वहां मिलकर कक्षा 10 वी एवम् 11वी के विद्यार्थियो को समबोधित करने के लिये दिनांक 18.04.2015 को प्रातः 11.00बजे का समय निश्चित हुआ ।

"
proper regulation of the mind which has the tendency of being ever restless" through the process of meditation practicing regularly for about 10-15 minutes a day.
On enquiry about the experience after the session , the students and the teachers both had a good feeling . But when asked as to how many of them could not keep their eyes closed throughout the the meditation, about 20 students raised their hands. So almost 2/3 rd of them had impact of the meditation due to their sincere effort. While the Vice Principal , Mr. Gilani was impressed and stood up to address the students and asked them to follow and practice the same at home sincerely as he was optimistic about the positive energy will bring necessary changes in their aptitude and will be reflected in their performance in their studies at the school. However finally the students were asked to practice at home for 15 minutes both in the morning and evening daily.

25.04.2015
Visited in the morning, between 09.30AM -13.30PM.
1.) At Govt. Co-ed. SS School, 22-Block, Lodhi Colony

While the whole-heartedly participation of 60% of the students when enquired later on by the Vice principal himself , asked them to practice at home for 15 minutes daily both in the morning and evening for it will help them in their preparations because they will be able to focus on their studies better as it will help in proper regulation of their mind which has the tendency to be ever restless.
The assembly dispersed at about 11.15 AM to be met again on 02nd May, 2015 when students of classes Xth &XIth will be addressed.

and there after I proceeded to
2.)Govt. Sarvodaya Vidyalaya, Aliganj .at 11.30AM to meet Mr. B.K.Tyagi , who accompanied me to Mrs. Ranjana Babsal ,Science teacher where students of class Xth Section A & B (50 nos.) were addressed and given practical exposure of the system of meditation in total for about
45-50 minutes. It was very heartening to note that almost 100% participation of the students was noticed and they were very much enthusiastic in their approach and promised by them selves to practice at home.
Next meeting was scheduled for 02nd May, 2015 with the students of class XII th at 11.00 AM.

02.05.2015
Visited in the morning, between 09.30AM -13.30PM.
1.)At the Govt. Co-ed. SS School, 22-Block, Lodhi Colony, I waited for for almost 45 minutes in the office of the Vice Principal Mr.Sushil Kumar when students(45)of classes IXth and Xth assembled along with their class teachers ,namely, Mrs.Meena Joshi, Mrs.Shashi and Mrs. Deepika in the School lawn .
and afterwards proceeded to at about 11.30 AM
2.)Govt. Sarvodaya Vidyalaya, Aliganj , WHERE in the presence of Mr.Manna Lal , teacher of Commerce for Class -XII th (38) students had assembled in their class room.
At both the Schools,
I started with the following quotations of
Rev. Babuji Maharaj ;
1."योग में पहली बात सदैव चंचल रहने वाले मन को सही रूप में व्यवस्थित करना है !"
2. "हमें सही मार्ग चुनना होगा जो उस अंतिम लक्ष्य तक पहुँचा सके जिसकी हम आकांक्षा करते हैं !"

Because the students have to be explained in Hindi ,being the mother tongue of most of us , it is better understood as well.
प्रायः सभी विद्यार्थीयों को उनके परीक्षा में अच्छे नम्बर कैसे आऐं तो उनकी तैयारी सही तरह से हो साथ में कम से कम व्यवधान के होते । इस सब के वास्ते उनकी राह में अपने लक्ष्य को हासिल करने के वास्ते चंचलता आड़े न आये तो ऐसा उपाय क्या कोई है क्या ? यह सब समझाते हुए उनको ध्यान में बैठने के तरीके को बताया साथ ही 10 से 12 मिनट के लिए ध्यान में साथ-साथ बैठे । तत्पश्चात उनपर कैसा प्रभाव पड़ा अथवा उन्हें कैसा महसूस हुआ तो उन सभी के उत्तर में ,शांती प्राप्त हुई ,प्रायः सभी ने कहा ।प्रायः सभी ने ध्यान को नियमित तौर से घर पर सुबह शाम करने का भी वादा किया । साथ में उपस्थित अध्यापकों ने भी हामी भरी ।
The students were told in nutshell that no one is inferior and as this meditation will help them realize as to what for they are being sent to school and their will to act /do will help them over come their weaknesses , and sharpen their mind to understand and remember their lessons in better way, because the useless thoughts creeping ,at that time ,in their mind will not disturb them any more, whenever they will be studying either at school or at home. Then question of scoring low marks in their exams shall not be any more of relevance. All this will be possible when this meditation system is followed religiously and regular practice will naturally bring in the desired results over the time. Because when the teacher is teaching some thing then a whole hearted attention is required to listen to HIM /HER to understand the lesson being taught in the class . After it is understood well then only the subject becomes interesting and automatically student feels to know more about the same better understanding and learning , which is essential also. So this meditation system removes all possible hurdles arising due to the very restless tendency of the mind which is otherwise regulated properly by the meditation adopted for the purpose. The system of meditation adopted being the right course hence it will definitely bring in required results in due course of time provided practiced regularly and properly.
Next Meeting and visit to both the schools was scheduled for 4th July,2015 whenthe schools were supposed to reopen after Summer vacations.




02.06.2015 , Tuesday at 3.4 0 PM
Visited Guru Govind Singh Indra Prastha UNIVERSITY campus at Dwarka Sector-16 C to handover the letter from Shri SC Kishore to Prof. R.K Mittal , Development Director, on
"Innovative practices in Education for enhancement of Working efficiency".
During discussions he spoke on how it is vital to introduce change in Educational practices to make the students capable of working efficiently in their career . Because in the Government run Institutions it is difficult to do or carry out experiments as such. But whereas the Private Institutions have that liberty to do so.
But the need of the hour is to focus on the short comings in the overall Education System. So it is important to let students focus on what is vital to them while learning.
However it will not be out of context to quote what Prof. M.C.Mishra, Director UNICEF of Indira Gandhi National University spoke in the National Seminar on
" Innovative practices in Education for enhancement of Working efficiency"on 24.05.2015 : Quote : " Education is a slow moving activity and it can be given impetus by the teacher not before He himself learns slowly and slowly. "Unquote.
Having
read such report in the Hindi Daily Newspaper "Dainik  Jagaran " we had approached Prof. Mittal with the above letter by Shri S.C.Kishore and on going through the letter, Prof. Mittal became anxious to experience himself first if any such practice was immediately available and became ready to have the first hand experience with out wasting the opportune time. As such I along with Him request Rev. Babuji Maharaj to sit in the Meditation for about 15-20 minutes ; after which He himself expressed his feelings and asked me to see Mr. S.C.Kishore for exploring the ways to introduce the system to the students and the faculty of the GGS Indra Prastha University.

04.07.2015
Visited in the morning, between 10.00AM -13.30PM.
1.)Arrived at 10.00 AM at Govt. Co-ed. SS School, 22-Block, Lodhi Colony. Since the Principal along with the vice principal was holding meeting with the teaching faculty allowed me to address them briefly on the
thought process- since thinking keeps on improving as we progress."How thinking is helpful in our day to day problems of life."
As EXPLAINED by Rev. BABUJI Maharaj
on Raja- Yoga in his book " Raja Yoga ka Divya Darshan"in hindi- As to how Rishi Patanjali propounded on the Raja Yoga Science and its applicability in our day-to-day life ; Excerpts from the book 's first chapter on Raja Yoga was read out before the audience followed by meditation for 15-20 minutes.
Before dispersing the meeting it was decided that next meeting could be held on 25th July,2015.
and
2.)At the Govt. Sarvodaya Vidyalaya, Aliganj ,students(18 nos.) of class XII th of Commerce along with its class teacher Mr. Manna Lal were addressed on as to how the thinking process could be stream lined and the Mind (मन या चित्त) could be brought under control from its habit of wondering about or being ever restless leading to the conditions of stability that is to achieve balanced state of mind in most natural way ( यानी एक चित्त होना ). As the class teacher to had to leave in between after about 45 minutes, another faculty member Mr. Tyagi joined us. It was very meaningful session and the students were frank enough to ask their doubts whether they were supposed to concentrate on the particular point or so. It was explained to them that this process of Meditation was based on Raja Yoga as propounded and established by Maharishi Patanjali and in this era certain modifications were undertaken by Rev, Babu ji Maharraj to suit the present life style of a normal house holder - the concentration is achieved automatically because the process of Meditation removes impediments and the wondering habit of the Mind (चित्त्) is brought under control. Finally the meeting concluded after having a practical session of Meditation for about 15-20 minutes, with arrangement of next meeting to be held on 25.07.2015.

25.07.2015
Visited in the morning, between 10.00AM -13.30PM.
1.) Govt. Co-ed. SS School, 22-Block, Lodhi Colony, for almost an hour starting at 10.30AM addressed the Male staff members of the school who included Mr.Gyan Chand , Satish Kumar, K.Singh, Komal KANT , Anurag Thakur, and the Vice Principal Mr. Sushil Kumar ; who were so long had been avoiding to attend the session until now under the pretext that this is something which will be imposing an extra workload , etc. But on interaction and when read out excepts from the writing of Rev. Babuji Maharaj - I did not have to explain .anymore but instead they themselves were ready to sit in meditation for almost 20-25 minutes after which they understood the system's efficacy for which they did not have any arguments but were anxious to follow the system of Sahaj Marg religiously .
The next meeting was scheduled for 22.08.2015.
and proceeded to
2.)Govt. Sarvodaya Vidyalaya, Aliganj . where Mr. Lakhmi Chand , Principal of the school accompanied me to the newly constructed School Hall where the Parents Teacher meeting was already under way with the students and parents of Class XI th (about 50 nos). These were the students whose parents were somehow worried about their future . Parents of about 6 students , who were present in the meeting seemed to be more worried before the start of the session but by the time the session concluded , especially after the meditation in which they also participated, their confidence level was  speaking volumes and also of the students. The students themselves stood up to vow before their parents to carry the practice at home regularly for 15 minutes daily early morning and their parents as well assured to follow the system as explained.
