                                  Pujya Bhaishree Rameshbhai Oza
                                  Founder and President
                                  Sandipani Vidhyaniketan, Porbandar, Gujarat

                                  Esteemed  dignitaries,  invited  guests,  Pujya  Ganpat  Dada,
                                  Professors  and  dear  students,  on  this  auspicious  occasion  of
                                  14th Foundation Day, it is my profound honour to address you all.
                                  Today, we celebrate not merely the anniversary but a collective
                                  journey toward enlightenment through education.
                                  It is with immense joy and gratitude that I stand before you on this
                                  auspicious  day.  I  am  deeply  honoured  to  address  you  on  the
                                  profound essence of education, enlightenment, and the timeless
                                  wisdom encapsulated within the corridors of knowledge. Today
                                  marks  not  just  a  celebration  of  our  institution's  journey  but  a
                                  testament to the power of education and enlightenment.
                                  As  we  delve  into  the  essence  of  “Vidhya  Samajotkarsh,”  it's
                                  paramount to acknowledge the integral role education plays in
                                  shaping  not  only  individuals  but  entire  societies.  Vidhya,  the
                                  embodiment of knowledge, holds within its grasp the power to
                                  illuminate minds and transform lives.
                                  Today,  I  wish  to  unravel  the  intertwined  facets  of  Buddhi,
                                  Prakash,  and  Surya  and  also  intricately  linked  with  Goddess
                                  Saraswati, symbolizing the true significance of Vidhya. Vidhya,
                                  It's the embodiment of wisdom, enlightenment, and the eternal
                                  light that guides us through the labyrinth of life. Drawing from the
                                  reservoir of mythology and ancient teachings, the significance of
                                  intellect (Buddhi), illumination (Prakash), Surya (Sun), and the
                                  radiant energy symbolized by Goddess Saraswati.
                                  On this occasion, I would specifically say that…
                                  એમણે કીધું િદશાઓ વજ છ ને તમે માની લીધું ક બારણાઓ બંધ છ પણ અમે તો
                                                                                    ે
                                                                     ે
                                                   ં
                                                       ે
                                   વતા સંબંધમાં, તે શોધમાં સદેહ અંદર ઉતયા  ને જ  ે િફણાયું એ બધું અકબંધ છ.
                                                                                             ે
                                  એજ મુરલી, એજ રા , એજ પીછ ં ુ  મોરનું, આપણે જ  ેવાંચતા આ જ દસમો  કંદ છે.
                                  Throughout history, mythology and puranic tales have served as
                                  repositories of wisdom, guiding us through narratives of Ahilya,
                                  Sita, and Draupadi. These stories, rich with lessons, resonate
                                  deeply  with  our  human  experiences,  unravelling  the  intricate
                                  threads of righteousness, resilience, and wisdom.
                                  Ahilya's story shows what happens when someone is tricked and



                                                                                          30
