On the sixth day of Navratri, Gajera Vidyabhavan Sachin came together to celebrate Goddess Kalratri, the fierce embodiment of power, courage, and protection. Known for eliminating darkness and evil, Kalratri symbolises strength and fearlessness—qualities we strive to instill in our learners. The day’s celebrations were filled with devotion, empowerment, and practical knowledge for the community.
The event began with a sacred poojan, aarti, and havan dedicated to Mata Kalratri, performed by students, staff, and teachers. These rituals invoked the goddess’s blessings, as the community collectively sought strength and guidance from her divine presence. Kalratri’s energy inspires us to confront challenges and adversities head-on, and the atmosphere of the event reflected this spirit of resilience and determination.
After the rituals, the highlight of the day was the session led by our esteemed chief guest, Prashant Agale. As a 4-time international referee, black belt, and member of the Suraksha Setu Police Department for the past nine years, Mr. Agale brought with him a wealth of experience and expertise in self-defense. His session was not only informative but also empowering, as he shared practical self-defense tips with the students, equipping them with the skills necessary to protect themselves in difficult situations.
Mr. Agale’s demonstration of basic yet effective techniques helped the students gain confidence in their ability to stay safe. His message resonated with the values of Kalratri—strength, courage, and protection—and served as a timely reminder of the importance of personal safety, especially in today’s world. The students were highly engaged and inspired by his insights, and the session left a lasting impact on all those present.
By combining spiritual reverence for Kalratri with the practical lessons on self-defense, this day highlighted the importance of nurturing both inner strength and physical protection. The celebration was not just about devotion; it was also about preparing our students to be confident and empowered individuals.
In conclusion, the sixth day of Navratri at Gajera Vidyabhavan Sachin was a meaningful fusion of faith and action. Through the blessings of Goddess Kalratri and the valuable insights shared by Mr. Prashant Agale, our learners were encouraged to embrace both spiritual and physical strength, making the celebration both a powerful and empowering experience.
