“Let no man in the world live in delusion. Without a Guru, no one can cross over.” - Guru Nanak
On July 9, the students of Class X at SAI International School came together to present a heart-warming and thought-provoking morning assembly dedicated to the theme of Guru Purnima. This special occasion, deeply rooted in Indian tradition, provided the perfect opportunity for the young SAIoneers to express their reverence and gratitude towards teachers, the guiding forces in their lives.
The assembly began on a serene note with a soulful prayer that instilled a sense of calm and mindfulness across the audience. This was followed by the Thought for the Day, offering a moment of reflection, and a crisp, well-curated news segment that kept everyone informed and engaged.
A thoughtful PowerPoint presentation and an articulate speech unfolded next, highlighting the cultural and spiritual significance of Guru Purnima in Indian heritage. The students beautifully articulated the importance of gurus—teachers and mentors—in shaping minds and lives, drawing connections between ancient values and present-day education.
In a touching gesture, the students offered floral tributes to their teachers through a Guru Vandana, symbolising their deep respect and heartfelt gratitude. This traditional homage created a reverent atmosphere that resonated with both students and staff alike.
The assembly then took a melodious turn with a guitar performance that captivated the audience. The magical strains of music added an emotional depth to the celebration and served as a fitting tribute to the nurturing influence of gurus.
To conclude the assembly, students presented a soulful dance performance that celebrated the dual pillars of a child’s growth—parents and teachers. Through graceful movements and expressive choreography, the dance conveyed the profound impact of these guiding figures in a child’s journey.
The assembly by Class X was a beautiful blend of tradition, creativity, and reverence. It reflected not just the cultural importance of Guru Purnima, but also the spirit of gratitude and humility that lies at the heart of learning.
