One of the greatest scholars of all times, Shri Mahatma Gandhiji, rightly said: “Without the study of Sanskrit, one cannot become a true Indian and a truly learned man.”

Sanskrit is India’s holiest and divine language, and it is the oldest language ever attested on Earth, well-known for its clarity and beauty.

We are all aware of its great heritage and cultural hegemony, so Sanskrit is titled the mother of many languages.

Sanskrit means ‘refined’; thus, it is scientifically proven that chanting Sanskrit texts creates an inner state of calmness and relaxation among human minds because the mystical capabilities of its sounds produce healing energy within the mind.

Hence, to honour the legacy of this beautiful language, Sanskrit Day was celebrated by the Sanskrit students of the Secondary Section on August 9, 2022 (Tuesday) by showcasing their talent in a myriad of programmes such as Mythological Quiz, Recitation of Hymns and sharing Sanskrit-related facts.

We are also delighted to share that our students, alongside their mentor Mrs Hiral Trivedi, have launched a subdomain sanskritamsanskriti.zebarschool.com devoted exclusively to Sanskrit will provide all the necessary materials and resources for the readers to become proficient in this ancient Vedic language. Our Principal, Ms Sharmistha Sinha, launched the subdomain. She congratulated the students and their mentor for coming up with a noble idea to promote this beautiful language.

Vishwa Gujarati Bhasha Diwas is celebrated on 24^th August every year as a tribute to the legendary Gujarati poet Lt.  Narmadashankar Dave on his birth anniversary. This day is celebrated as a day dedicated to Gujarati language and literature. Also known as Kavi Narmad, he is the father of modern Gujarati literature. He was an outspoken journalist and pamphleteer and a social reformer, too. He introduced many creative forms of writing to the language.

Gujarati language reflects the rich culture and heritage of Gujarat. It is the 26^th most spoken native language in the world. Narmad is a staunch and proud admirer and appreciator of Gujarat and Gujarati language. ‘Jay Jay Garvi Gujarat’ written by Kavi Narmad has been adopted as Gujarat’s state anthem.

The students of Zebar School for Children (Secondary Section) celebrated Vishwa Gujarati Diwas today with a variety of programmes. They honoured the renowned poet by delivering a speech on the life and works of Kavi Narmad and the rich background of Gujarati language and literature followed by a group song based on the glory of Gujarati language.  The students performed a short, delightful skit ‘Samjhan’ pertaining to the occasion which was followed by a Kavi Sammelan in which the students presented various poems which brought forth the glory of Gujarati literature. In the end the students dressed up in traditional attire presented Garba with great enthusiasm.

“Mother is the heartbeat in the home; and without her, there seems to be no heartthrob.”

Skit, dramatization is a unique tool to explore and express human feelings. The young brigade of ZSFC Grade XII caught the rapt attention of the audience by performing a comic skit which was organized on 18^th August 2022.

The budding actors skilfully prepared their presentation, every character was at their creative best. The powerful performances of young actors transported the audience to the realm of cinema. The skit was thoroughly entertaining as well as hugely successful in providing food for thought. Such is the power of effective use of cinema.

The topic of the skit was- Mother’s Day written by J.B.Priestley, a skit from their NCERT textbook. The skit displayed the importance of mother in every individual’s life. As everyone knows, motherly love is incomparable. Mother’s arm is the most comfortable place when you feel sad, depressed, afraid, or lonely. The skit comprised of the inseparable bond between a mother with her husband and children.
