My Journey to Songadh Ashram

My Journey To Songadh Ashram

''Let me be shown your virtuous path;

Enlighten me, my ignorance cure;

Under a dark cloud I badly sinned;

Drive it off to clear the sky, my Good Wind;

Again I beg to make me pure;

The smoke of ill will darkens the light;

The oil of good will burns it bright;

For my salvation from lurking lure."

                                                                                                ......Shree Sumatinath....

How quickly!

Though it's a bit tough nut to express one's feelings, sentiments and experience in form of words, but whenever spontaneous feelings gets overjoyed and rejoiced it becomes one's duty to let others know about one's feelings. Beginning with my experience which I had before one year.  Just cherishing my experience. It's really a surprising moment for me that I am going to complete one year as an English teacher at ‘Shree Mahaveer Jain Charitra kaliyan Ratnashram.’ Hence, it’s really an astonishing moment as sometime I think that I have just joined this school just a moment before. How quickly the time flied! It is faster than Jio 4g. Really, how quick it is! I will complete one year as a teacher by working on this holy

Place of education. So Many things I have learned and so many I have to learn. The process of “Learning" will never end as earning while learning seems worthy but the process of earning had commenced with the sudden call. The story is like this:

After having my master degree Last year I had given applications in many schools and colleges but they were busy in the celebration of Diwali. I was like a ' Berojgar Person'

(Unemployed) as many people of India don't have a single job to earn bread and butter. 'No job' 'No Money' and’ No Idea' what to do now. I had been working in one private sector for 5 years minimum, at Bhajan Weigh Bridge' in Ghanghali, Sihor. But the

Best moment of my life came when my mobile ranged. As I was doing my

Work at Weigh Bridge. It was 11.34 o'clock and the date was 19 Dec

2015 and unexpectedly there was a call from unknown number. The conversation was like

this:

Hello! Is there Vinod Rabhadiya?

Yes,, I said.

Did you apply for a teacher's job?

Yes, I said.

Will you come on Sunday for an interview?

Yes, Sir. I replied.

Frequently uttering ' Yes' expressed and eked my nervousness. Then my interview was taken to assess and measure my teaching skills and it was good and finally thought that I would be part of this

Institution as well. As far as my selection is concerned for the job of teacher being an English faculty my inquisitiveness increases to tell something about the experience of my first day in school.

Surely that was an exaggeration of feelings which took me very early to the

Doorsteps at school because gradually the time of school was 8.30 and my emancipated reaching was before 7.30. On the very first day of my school i was having baffled nd riddled turmoil in my mind that from Where to  start? From When to start and How to start?

But, when I entered in this institution I saw idols of two great

Saints, Kalyan Bapa and Charitra Bapa. Whenever I see them the spark

Comes out in my body and I become more vigorous and enthusiastic than I am. Moreover, The

Atmosphere around the Ashram makes me so confidential and zealous in teaching

And at any moment I don't have a feeling to be alone or to have myself in solitude even though i don't feel as a new comer too. 

My utterance and vocalized feelings comes from the corner of my heart for this place:

"ભરી લો શ્વાસ માં એની સુગંધનો દરિયો પછી આ માટીની ભીની અસર મળે નાં મળે”

.....આદીલ મન્સૂરી.....

Slowly and steadily I became an intact nd integral part of it in the tenure of one year. From this institution I have learned so many things and i have been learning and getting, attaining, acquiring obtaining newer things which makes me rejuvenated and revitalized. Further myself can very explicitly distinguish my experience of first day and now. However, I have learned so many new things from this institution from the students from my senior

staff members and all who are the part of this school as well.  With the blessing of two great monks, Grace of Almighty and wishes of my well-wishers i got an opportunity to work on this holy soil

Of education. Its only the beginning for me because

 “Miles to go before I sleep"

                                                                                              ....Robert  Frost....

I believe myself as a lucky person because I got a chance to work here where the surrounding makes me feel emancipate from contamination.

" All my sins off to wash;

At your holy home I pause;

You of all are the cause"
