Sanskarshala, an exclusive monthly workshop by Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan’s holistic education initiative Manthan Sampoorna Vikas Kendra (SVK), offers an enriching platform for children aged 4 to 12 years. Designed to shape young minds with timeless virtues and emotional resilience, these sessions blend experiential learning with value-based education.
Dhee Sanskarshala – सप्त धर्म लक्षणम्, inspired children to cultivate inner strength, moral awareness, and practical life skills essential for balanced growth. As Sanskarshala follows this year’s central theme—the Ten Attributes of Dharma—each month a dedicated workshop is conducted on one attribute; and this month’s focus was the seventh attribute of dharma- Dhee Sanskarshala, where “Dhee” signifies the refinement of intellect through righteous actions.
In October 2025, a total of 50 Sanskarshala workshops were held, benefiting around 2180 children across all DJJS branches, including NRI children as well as students from various schools across the country.

Dhee Sanskarshala – सप्त धर्म लक्षणम्, this month’s core theme at Manthan, served as the guiding framework for a series of interactive and reflective sessions conducted by dedicated Manthan volunteers to nurture children’s ability to think wisely and act righteously.
Anchored in the Seventh Traits of Dharma, every activity, discussion, and exercise was designed to help students recognize, reflect upon, and practice these essential values in their daily lives.
The workshop began with conversations around differentiating between right and wrong, enabling participants to understand moral choices through relatable examples and stories, along with that a brief session on understanding slokas connected ancient wisdom with real-life conduct, inspiring children to internalize dharmic principles with clarity and conviction.
The module on effective decision-making encouraged them to regulate emotions, avoid overthinking, and stay strong amidst peer pressure or fear of failure. A lively quiz tested their understanding, while the Butterfly Effect activity illustrated how even small, thoughtful actions can create powerful, positive ripples — reinforcing the trait of compassionate action.
The workshop concluded with reflections on seeking divine guidance through prayer and recognizing that reading good books can illuminate the path of dharma-driven decisions. With this, the sessions ended with chanting of the Shanti Mantra and heartfelt salutations unto the lotus feet of Divya Guru Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, under whose grace this month’s theme — सप्त धर्म लक्षणम् — came alive in the students’ minds and hearts.
