Students Perform Pada Pooja to Their Parents | At Abhyasa

March 2020: The students of Abhyasa illustrated their affection and gratitude to their parents by performing Pada Pooja, to receive their blessings.

The origin of Pada Pooja, deeply rooted in the history of Vedic tradition, is imbibed in our children at Abhyasa, as we follow a Gurukul Ethos here.

According to the old saying, 'Matha, Pitha, Guru, Deivam' our parents, who brought us into this world, protected us during our infancy and childhood when we were unable to help ourselves, fed us, clothed us, educated us and provided us with everything that we needed and showered unconditional love on us deserve to be respected either equal to or even more than the Almighty. They are the visible Gods for every child.

We are taught right from childhood, 'Mathru Devo Bhava; Pithru Devo Bhava; Acharya Devo Bhava'. This Pada Pooja, a regular annual event held in Abhyasa towards the end of the academic year is a humble effort to help children follow these ancient sayings, which keeps reminding us of our rich cultural heritage, apart from making our parents' hearts filled with eternal bliss.
