A day in Saraswati Vidya Peetam

Saraswathi Vidya Peetam is located in Madhava Patnam and was established by Yandamoori Veerendranath a famous writer and Personality Development expert to combine recreation and education. It reduces the psychological trauma of the students and allows them to tackle the challenges imposed by their parents and educational institutions, loosing somewhere the childhood pleasure that they rightly deserve. For reaching this you can alight at Samarlakota Railway Station near Kakinada in AP and take local road transport for a 20 minutes drive.

This one day training is free and can be utilized by a batch of 40 students from any school and teaches various ways and techniques to make study easy for the student.

Entering into Vidya Peetam is a wonderful feeling; full of trees and flowering plants welcome us to spend some time with them.

As one enters towards right we have the temple of Goddess Saraswati with beautiful natural surroundings. It has an excellent garden with flowering plants, fruit trees, different types of pet animals such as birds, rabbits etc. In the midst of these one will observe a beautiful pond with Lotus flowers and fishes. Once we cross these we will come across more interesting things to play such as Swings, boats for riding in the pond, sliders and balancers during lunch time.

After the temple as we walk ahead we will observe a house and beside it we have steps to go up for our class room. As we enter the class room we see open air surroundings with greenery that touch our heart with occasional train passing by the railway lane adjust to the compound.

In class Yandamoori Veerendranath teaches for about 3 hours how to enjoy as one studies with concentration, simple principles to apply while studying mathematics, the Art of Living and Time Management especially for students to avoid tension before the exam.

He interacts with the students with a Q & A Session and gives surprise gifts for those who give prompt and correct responses and encourages participation by one and all there by achieving self confidence. Apart from this they are also exposed to new world of experience to shrink their phobias and develop attentiveness.

In lunch break the students break out and have lunch in the garden under the trees with cool breeze. After this students spend some time in playing around with whatever fascinates them. Boating and other sport activities unwind their attentiveness; fishing enhances concentration and reduces hyperactivity.

In the evening under the shades of falling sun, sitting near the lake near the temple the students are encouraged to narrate stories to develop the art of public speaking and communication and also reduces their stage fear.

Then all the students gather in the temple and pray to Goddess Saraswathi and take oath to alter some of their hazardous habits like eating junk food, hypersomnia and watching TV and go back to their home with self satisfaction.

It’s a wonderful experience for any student to spend a day like this as it tells them on what they should concentrate during their education which in turn will convert them to future citizens. This is how they end their fun filled day very fruitfully.

Any school that is interested can contact Yandamoori Veerendranath at his mobile number 91 92465 02662 or can reach at yandamoori@hotmail.com and schedule their students for this wonderful experience.

10 Steps to Setting Goals

1. Write your goals on paper.
2. Keep it short and simple.
3. A goal should be a genuine desire: A goal should be something you will work for, something that is important to you. A goal must be passionately desired for it to be achieved.
4. Be realistic but at the same time optimistic: A goal should Push You – it should be something that you have to strive for.
5. Be specific: Be absolutely clear as to what you must do to achieve results and how and when you must do it. Reduce the goal to manageable units.
6. Get to work: Action should speak louder than words.
7. Motivate, Review and Adjust if Necessary: Change the target, make it bigger (Remember be realistic but optimistic). Any achievement is better than no achievement at all.
8. Keep them to yourself: You should keep your personal goals private because there will always be people who will try to discourage you. Don’t give them chance to pull you down with their sinking ship.
9. Set different ranges of goals: Long term goals should not be too specific. The important thing is to have an overall objective in mind. To know where you want to be a few years down the track.
10. Concentrate on smashing through them: When it comes to striving towards a goal don’t stop at the finishing line. Instead set yourself a new target, a new finishing line and a new goal to replace, the one you just lost by winning it.
