The school prayer
Yakundendu Thusharahara Dhavala, ya Subhra Vasthranvita, Ya veena varadandamanditha kara ya swetha padmasana, Ya brahmastutha Sankara Prabhruthi Bhirdevai Sada Pujitha, Samampathu Saraswathi Bhagavathi Nissesha Jadyapaha... This song is sung every day, when the school assembles in the morning, before the beginning of classes. The song is a tribute to the goddess of education Saraswati.This prayer is followed by Poem No.35 of Githanjali of Rabindra Nath Tagore as follows.(Raveendra Babu 1979)
Where the mind is without fear, and the head is held high, where knowledge is free, Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls, where words come out from the depth of truth, where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection, where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit, where the mind is led forward by thee into ever widening thought and action, into that heaven of freedom my father let my country awake.
