Samskara Shibiram 2025

Samskara Shibiram
Summer Camp 28th April – 18th May 2025

As many as 60 children on Sunday participated in ‘homam’ at the Samskara Shibiram (summer camp) organised by Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama. Students from classes 5 to 10 are taught Yoga, arts and crafts, Bhajans, Sanskrit shlokas, Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Indian culture, besides skills such as garland-making, self-defence, archery, Karrasamu, at the camp.

Referring to the homam as an ‘inner cleansing ritual’, Ashrama’s Secretary Swami Sukritananda ensured that the students participated. The children offered ‘Bilwa’ leaf into the sacrificial fire and took five oaths, praying for education, physical fitness, character, truthfulness, and disciplined life.

The Ashrama’s Secretary said, “The students felt rejuvenated after the ritual. During the camp, they are also explained the importance of giving respect to elders, especially parents and teachers in particular”. The 21-day camp concludes on May 18.
