This workshop, conducted by DJJS Manthan SVK, is a transformative initiative aimed at instilling essential moral values and life skills in children.
Kshama Sanskarshala –द्वितीय धर्म लक्षणम् centers around the foundational virtue of forgiveness, regarded as a pillar of Dharma (righteous living). More than an act, Kshama (forgiveness) is a strength of character that reflects inner peace, self-restraint and moral clarity.
In May 2025, a total of 58 Sanskarshala workshops were held, benefiting around 6700 children across all DJJS branches, including NRI children as well as students from various schools across the country.

Sanskarshala sessions organized by dedicated Manthan SVK volunteers, thoughtfully explored the theme Kshama Sanskarshala – द्वितीयधर्म लक्षणम्. Highlighting forgiveness as a vital strength and the second noble trait of Dharma. Children were gently guided through everyday peer conflict scenarios, such as dealing with aggressive behaviourlike hitting or pushing, navigating impulsive actions like knocking into objects while playing and responding to social misbehaviour, including mocking or laughing at others.
Through storytelling, reflections and interactive role-plays, they learned to recognize disruptive behavior, unacceptable conduct and their own behavioral lapses from not sharing to speaking harshly and were taught the deeper value of acknowledging mistakes with humility and extending forgiveness with empathy. These sessions sensitively addressed challenging behaviors that may disrupt group harmony, while planting the seeds of emotional intelligence, patience and moral courage.
By internalizing the power of Kshama (forgiveness), children were empowered to choose compassion over reaction, healing over hurt and righteousness over impulse. On that note, sessions 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.
