Sanskarshala is one of its kind monthly workshops that are organized for children aged 4 to 12 years by Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan’s (DJJS) holistic education program Manthan Sampoorna Vikas Kendra (SVK). For children between the ages of 4 and 12, happiness manifests in various forms, including moments of joy, laughter, curiosity, and a sense of belonging.
The theme for the January 2024 workshop was Aanandam Sanskarshala. Aanandam is a state of bliss that surpasses the worldly emotions of happiness and sorrow, a state observed by seekers of truth.
About 41 Aanandam Sanskarshalas were conducted that benefited approximately 1680 children across all the DJJS branches as well as in various schools in our country namely,
1. Haryana- Divine Child Play School, Sector 91 in Faridabad
2. Uttar Pradesh- Raghunandan Dharmshala in Hathras; Primary School, Patna Pakshi Vihar, Etah
3. Assam- Hanuman Garhi Temple in Dibrugarh; Oil Valley Boys & Girls School in Dibrugarh
4. Bihar- Aarya Mission School, Araria
5. Rajasthan- Mahatma Gandhi Govt. School , Murlipura , Jaipur; Shubh Shakti Vidyapeeth Senior Secondary School , Kalwar Road, Jhotwara , Jaipur
The workshops were initiated with group chanting and meditation by DJJS Preachers and DJJS Manthan SVK volunteers which created a divine ambience for children attending the sessions. Through inspiring moral stories, fun activities such as exploring Vedic games and video presentations, children thoroughly enjoyed these sessions. DJJS Manthan SVK strives to nurture the next generation by prioritizing the well-being and happiness of Manthanites. By fostering environments that promote play, positive relationships, achievement, emotional literacy, mindfulness, and gratitude, children are empowered to lead fulfilling lives grounded in happiness and resilience. This guides the journey of cultivating joy in the hearts of our children, laying the groundwork for a brighter and more compassionate future. On that note, the workshops concluded with the chanting of shanti mantra and prayers. Everyone paid their humble salutations unto the lotus feet of Divya Guru Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji.
