India is my country
All Indians are my brothers and sisters.
I love my country
and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage.
I always strive to be worthy of it.
I shall give my parents, teachers and all elders respect
and treat everyone with courtesy.
To my country and my people
I pledge my devotion.
In their well – being and prosperity alone
lies my happiness.
Oh peter’s, Peter’s our Alma Mater,
A Precious saga etched in pride,
We pledge perseverance, purpose and strive,
Through all our years, throughout our lives,
Palma Non Sine Pulvere, (No reward without labour)
Palma Non Sine Pulvere, (No reward without labour)
Palma Non Sine Pulvere,
Through all our years, throughout our lives.
With unsure awkward footsteps first,
We strode into your portals grand,
Thy enveloping warmth, embracing worth,
Had us captivated, drove us forth;
Under thy shade in gratitude,
We learnt life’s priceless lessons,
Of discipline, friendship, truthfulness
That shaped our souls – God’s own sons.
The day will come, when finally we,
Out of this luminous heart will march,
Armed with knowledge and a will of steel,
With hearts so soft, ready to heal;
Soon the years shall roll into one,
And thou will find us at thy door,
On thy footsteps grown- up men,
With reverent hearts – your ‘boys’ once more.
The National Flag is the symbol of our freedom and sovereignty.
Any individual or institution can fly or display the national flag on all days,
consistent with its dignity and honour.
The National Flag should always occupy the position of honour and be distinctly
placed.
The National Flag shall not be used for commercial purpose including any form of
advertisement.
Do not display a damaged of disheveled Flag.
The Flag shall not be dipped in salute to any person.
It shall not be dipped in salute to any person.
It shall not be flown with the ‘saffron’ colour on top.
Lettering of any kind shall not be put upon the Flag.
It shall not be used as a receptacle for anything.
When damaged or soiled, it shall be destroyed as a whole in private.
Our father, who art in heaven; hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will
be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive
us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil.
O My God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you. I hate all my sins, because
they offend you, my God who are all good, and deserving of all my love. I firmly
resolve, with the help of your grace, to sin no more and to void all occasions of
sin.
Oh God, from whom all wisdom, and knowledge come; help me to do my studies well.
Open my mind to the Truth; make me diligent and constant in the pursuit of learning.
Give me an attentive mind Lord; keen and alert, so that I can concentrate and grasp
my lessons. Give me an eager mind Lord, to learn something new every day, and may
my aim always be to pierce, the veil of the visible world, to reach you, O invisible,
eternal, unchangeable truth.
Eternal God/ Creator of all/ I firmly believe/ that I am in Your presence/ I adore
Your Divine Majesty/ and ask of You/ to enlighten my mind, that I may love You/
above all things/ and may neighbor/ for Your sake.
Help me/ that I may never/ in my thoughts or deeds/ offend against Your Holy
Law.
We give you thanks/ Almighty God, for all the benefits/ you have showered upon us.
O my God I love you/ with my whole heart/ and above all things. I am heartily
sorry for having offended you/ because you are so good/ and firmly resolve/ not
to offend you anymore.
Where the minds 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 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.
Rabindranath Tagore
