		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Dear Sabuj&lt;/strong&gt;

It was so good to read your comment.  There are many Sunday school teachers here who serve as worship to our Beloved Master.  Also at the same time the teachers are also learning, which is very uplifting.  But most importantly the teachers love to discuss the  Life and Teachings of Holy Mother, Master and Swamijee together with other interesting lives of saints and sages.

Yours in the Name of the Master
&lt;strong&gt;Avitha&lt;/strong&gt;

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Most revered Maharaj,&lt;/strong&gt;

This Blog has been really a moral booster, as your writings own up to awakening the dead minds, atleast it happened in my case. When I read this post, I was so happy and amazed to know the implementation and increasing love and support Indian Values and beliefs are gaining abroad now-a-days; and indeed evolved and great souls as Gurudevji have helped in its propagation. 

The Swamis associated with the Ramakrishna order have always given the first importance to Studies.I have even been scholded, for not studying and frequently visiting the temple, by Swamis in pune.[:)]And through the cultural festivities and sunday school programmes, it is so good and blissful of the Ramakrishna Centres and sub-centres to preach just and truth, love and sincerity, moral and character, and of course letting the new blooms of life, know about the great God-men, our beloved holy trio. I have heard you relentlessly working for the same cause and I have seen Avitha ji, who gives her best, teaching kids in the school. 

I am sans all words at the beautiful organized and selfless approach you all are doing over there. and I have no other emotions than to offer my obeisance to all of you.
Please take my most humble pranams.

		<description>Yes, &lt;strong&gt;Sunny!&lt;/strong&gt; so true what you have said! 
The feedback from ex-teachers and once upon a student reveals your point. Thank you! May your work among the children increase in quantity and quality!

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Dear Navrishka&lt;/strong&gt;
It is most gratifying to get a comment from such a distant place, from you  - one who was part of the Children&#039;s festival here and also were a teacher in training children! The fact that you cherish the value of your association and are trying to build your life on the foundation of the eternal vaules of our &lt;em&gt;dharma&lt;/em&gt; shows the usefulness of these value moulding programs. Whenever you visit your home country, please try to meet your branch children not only to motivate them to attend the Sunday Classes but also renew your kinship with them.
May Master&#039;s blessings be with you!
&lt;strong&gt;Swami Vimokshananda&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Revered Swamiji,&lt;/strong&gt;

Pranams at your LOTUS feet. Lots of love. It is really inspiring to see classes and activities for the little kids and teens. I also believe that values and cultural activity classes is a lifetime process and not a single event. Thank you for the Blessings. 

Love,
&lt;strong&gt;Sunny&lt;/strong&gt;

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Dear Avitha&lt;/strong&gt;

That is a great comment! As once a teacher in the centre, it is very important for children to learn the scriptures. It is also good for parents to be involved in all aspects of their children&#039;s education, secular and spiritual. The classes are great for the children and for making them good people in society. 
Pranams!

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Aum Namo Narayanaya!&lt;/em&gt;

This article is one that has great value to my heart. I have been a part of the children&#039;s festivals for a long time. As children of the Phoenix branch, we would always put together items. Over the years I have participated in songs, dances, plays and many other activities. As I grew older I joined as a teacher, and it was a great experience. I truly believe that the children&#039;s classes are one of the best activities of the centre, and the children&#039;s cultural festival is a wonderful event in the centre&#039;s calender. It was so lovely to see the pictures of our Gurudevji and his training of the children. 
&lt;em&gt;Jai Sri Ramakrishna!&lt;/em&gt;

		<description>Pranam Maharaj.

Thanks for your detailed reply. Bharatji called me up today and told me that you have sent the book for me. Thanks a lot for that. I understand the differences in the situation within India and outside. I will go through the book and get back to you if I have any questions. Thanks.

With regards,
Gomu.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Dear Ravin&lt;/strong&gt;
Well, you should not have continued when you felt ill ! First priority is to take proper medicine and take rest. I would have been more happy if you did this than reading my blog for more than two hours! No, please have sufficient rest. 

Think of &lt;strong&gt;Shri Hanumanji&lt;/strong&gt; as Tulsidas says that &lt;strong&gt;&#039;Hanumanji, the Mighty One shall remove all pains and problems of those who invoke Him&#039;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;sankata katai mitai saba pira, jo sumirai hanumanta balabira&#039;&lt;/em&gt;. 

May &lt;strong&gt;Shri Raam&lt;/strong&gt; be in your heart!
&lt;strong&gt;Swami Vimokshananda&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

Looking forward to future articles.
