The Junior School of Seth M. R. Jaipuria School turned into a vibrant orchard of joy and reflection on 18th July 2025, as students celebrated Mango Day, honouring the King of Fruits with creativity, delight, and deeper awareness.
Dressed in shades of yellow and green, some students enthusiastically transformed into cheerful mangoes, while others crafted mango-themed badges, wearing them with pride and excitement. Their fruit tiffins brimmed with a variety of juicy, delicious mangoes, which they shared and savoured during break time, celebrating the joy of taste and togetherness.
However, the true heart of the celebration lay in the quiet, reflective classroom discussions that followed, guided by the class teachers. Drawing inspiration from Sri Aurobindo’s teachings, the conversation gently led the students to reflect on the journey of a seed, the invisible forces of nature, and the Divine Power that orchestrates life.
Through the course of the dialogue, the children began to understand that behind the simplicity of a mango lies a profound story—a story of nature’s design, patience, growth, and silent giving. They were encouraged to see the mango not just as a fruit, but as a symbol of their own inner journey. Just as a seed holds the hidden potential to become a full tree and bear sweet fruit, each child carries within them a Divine Light – their psychic being – guiding them gently toward their true path.
They learned to recognise the invisible presence of the Divine in every stage of life — from the seed in the soil to the fruit on their plate. The discussion offered them a moment to feel a deep connection with Mother Earth, to express silent gratitude for the sun, rain, soil, and life, and to see themselves as part of a greater, meaningful plan.
Children reflected on how they, too, can nurture their “inner seed” through acts of kindness, stillness, gratitude, and self-care—just like a gardener takes care of a growing plant. They began to see the mango tree as a model of generosity, resilience, and purpose, silently giving its fruit without seeking anything in return.
As the day came to a close, each classroom offered a silent prayer of gratitude to Mother Earth, acknowledging the abundance around them and the light within.
Mango Day, thus, became more than a celebration. It became a quiet awakening—a moment of connection, reflection, and inner learning. Through mangoes, laughter, and soulful dialogue, the children were gently reminded of their inner strength, purpose, and the silent wisdom of nature.
