A calm sense of devotion and quiet confidence filled the campus of Apeejay School, Saket, as the school organised a Hawan Ceremony for the students of Classes X and XII, seeking divine blessings ahead of their forthcoming board examinations. The spiritual gathering served not only as a ritualistic prayer but also as a meaningful pause in the academic journey of students, encouraging reflection, focus and emotional balance during a crucial phase of their lives.
A Serene Beginning Marked by Faith and Focus
Held in a serene and disciplined environment, the ceremony witnessed enthusiastic participation from students, teachers and school leadership. The carefully arranged sacred space allowed students to momentarily step away from exam pressure and immerse themselves in an atmosphere of faith, mindfulness and collective positivity.
As the sacred fire was lit, the rhythmic chanting of Vedic mantras echoed through the hall, creating an environment of peace and reassurance. Students sat attentively, offering oblations into the fire, symbolising the release of fear, anxiety and self-doubt while embracing confidence, hope and self-belief—qualities essential for academic success.
Nurturing Inner Strength Alongside Academic Preparation
Beyond its religious significance, the Hawan carried a strong learning and life-skills dimension. It reminded students that mental well-being, emotional balance and clarity of thought are as important as rigorous study schedules. The ceremony encouraged students to stay grounded, focused and calm, helping them approach their examinations with a positive and composed mindset.
Teachers guided students throughout the ceremony, reinforcing values such as discipline, perseverance and gratitude. They emphasised that consistent effort, resilience and faith in one’s abilities form the foundation of long-term success, both inside and outside the classroom.
Words of Blessing from the School Leadership
Sharing his blessings on the occasion, Principal, Dr Sujeet Eric Masih, said, “May the blessings be upon the students, staff and school.” His message reflected the school’s commitment to nurturing students’ academic growth alongside their moral and emotional development.
The Hawan concluded with the distribution of prasad, symbolising goodwill, positivity and new beginnings. Students received heartfelt best wishes for success and well-being, leaving the ceremony feeling reassured and motivated. Through such initiatives, Apeejay School, Saket continues to promote holistic education, empowering students to face academic challenges with confidence, calmness and inner strength.
