🙏 12th Annual Guru Vandana — A Beautiful Evening of Gratitude
On Saturday May 2rd, 2026, Sadhana Shakha was honored to host its 12th Annual Guru Vandana, a cherished tradition celebrating the profound bond between students and their teachers. The evening brought together 17 honored teachers from
Carmel Clay Schools and nearly 80 guests, including shakha families who came to pay their respects.
The program opened with the traditional Deep Prajwalana (lighting of the lamp) by Dr. VimalPatel and Dr.Mahesh Goel, followed by a soulful invocation sung by Geeta Ganthi and noted classical vocalist Anuradha Poduval.
True to our long-standing tradition, two high school students stepped up confidently as Masters of Ceremony — a reminder that the next generation is ready. Our Balas offered heartfelt shloka recitations, middle school students performed a graceful traditional dance, and high school students delivered a thoughtful segment on Ancient India’s contributions to modern science and mathematics.
The evening’s centerpiece was an inspiring talk by our Vakta, Dr. Bharath Sastry, who spoke beautifully on the timeless significance of the Guru in one’s life.
We’re grateful to our Karyakarthas — Prajakta, Trupti, and Mithun — whose dedication, alongside the wider shakha families, made the evening a truly memorable one.
Guru Brahma, Guru Vishnu, Guru Devo Maheshwara… 🙏
