How a disciplined life can change someone's career is proof as we see the pass-outs of BGIS. We, at BGIS, follow the Vedic lifestyle and our boys do the same on a regular basis that enhances their mental and physical abilities beyond the expectations. As explained in Bhagavad Gita, a student's life should be maintained under the strict discipline which later will show the results in all the ways. Be it the academic qualifications or professional life, if a strict disciplinary is maintained from the very early ages, the life at a later stage will be much easier.
The first reason is the uniqueness. BGIS has been considered as the best residential school in India that follows ICSE and ISC curriculum at an international level. Students across the world come here to get the best education through the experienced faculties who from inside are the complete Krishna devotees. The mentors spread Krishna consciousness within a child from the initial days of their lives. Apart from the studies and strict discipline and routine lifestyle, the boys are being trained on physical education, meditation, yoga, outdoor games like football, cricket, volleyball, basketball, table tennis, hockey, cycling, tennis, kabaddi, kho kho, etc. The ISKCON boarding school in India also trains the boys on various extracurricular activities like dance, music, art and craft, singing, etc.
Extracurricular activities and sports together can make a child creative, innovative, physically and mentally extremely fit who can survive every difficulty in life. Along with that, academic lessons and a hardcore disciplined lifestyle will create a genius. As a result, the best boarding school in UP has been producing scholars since the year 1975.
A fundamental and unique aspect of the BGIS experience is regular spiritual
practice like rising early, mantra meditation, bhajans, kirtans and Shastra
studies. Both teachers and students strictly follow four basic tenets of spiritual
values austerity, compassion, cleanliness and truthfulness. Students learn these
values by following the devotional practices, through exposure to cow protection
and organic farm communities.
Students imbibe in their hearts a devotion to Lord Sri Krishna based on the teachings of the Bhagvad-Gita. Teachings are delivered not sentimentally or dogmatically but in a philosophical and cultural way, using both contemporary and traditional educational methods. Therefore we call ourselves a Gurukula.
Students are privileged to attend many retreats in places such as Mayapur, Jagannatha Puri, Udupi, Gangotri, Jamunautri, and Simla during their stay in BGIS.
VAISHNAVA CULTURE
Ancient Vaishnava culture, is a tradition of mutual respect ,integrity, compassion, cleanliness (internal and external), mercy and tolerance. Students are taught to manage their emotions and channelize their energies positively and constructively.
MANGAL ARATICKS
Mangal Artik according to Vaishnava tradition is a very important part of the day. Students get up at 4 a.m. to worship Lord Krishna in the temple. They do every day in spite of the weather, except Sunday
JAPA MEDITATION
The top most yoga system in all traditions is the chanting of the Lord’s Holy Name. Students chant a minimum of four rounds on beads every day. This gives them a strong spiritual foundation for the battles that lie ahead.
DEITY WORSHIP
Each ashram worships Lord Krishna in His Deity form. Students after chanting japa, wake up the Lord, bathes, dresses and perform puja and arati. This is a daily service which gives the students an early start in understanding a deeper aspect of Vaishnava culture where the realization of The Lord being a person is imbibed.
HONOURING PRASAD
This one of the most important aspect of Vaishnava tradition, the honouring of food offered to Lord Krishna. Students enjoy a healthy diet of milk, grains, fruit and vegetables. Food prepared in the mode of good-ness is not only good for the body but also for the soul.
Sport serves as a healthy outlet for the boy’s youthful energy. Besides providing excellent physical exercise it helps develop quick thinking, leadership, the ability to work in teamsand the capacity to acknowledge the skills and capabilities of others. Students are trained in games like football, cricket, volleyball, basketball, badminton, table tennis, kabaddi and kho-kho. The school holds an annual sports day and also participates in various inter school sports competitions.
Yoga and meditation activities are an integral part of the curriculum for the students. Living a natural and austere life are some of the challenges young men face in the wilderness of modern society. Regular practice of yoga and meditation will mould the character so that students can become the leaders of tomorrow.
Excursion and camps are arranged for students. Living a natural life and having out-of-the-ordinary experiences will help students face some of the future challenges society will present them with, it will help mould their character to become the leaders of tomorrow.
The Music Department of our school gives training to students in Indian traditional instruments such as the Mridanga and Harmonium. We also train them in vocal Hindustani classical music as well as bhajans. Students also have the opportunity to learn ‘Gotipua’, a traditional Odissi dance for boys that is a traditional dance form of Odisha. Traditional Indian music is a powerful and devotional art form and we encourage all students to actively engage in any one of them.
For every major festival, students participate in a literary quiz. Questions are from ancient scriptures, i.e. Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam and the Ramayana. The prize giving ceremonies are a spectacular event.
With classroom plays and productions performed before thousands, the drama de-partment brings life, color and energy to the school. Learning through drama has always been effective - voice, movement, teamwork and memorization are some of the skills learned, not to mention handling the excite-ment of the performance. Our drama troupe is regularly invited to perform in major Indian cities.
Art is an integral part of learning at BGIS where students are encouraged to express themselves through a variety of art activities such as sketching, modelling, paper mache, painting and mask making. Students participate in inter school art competitions and also engage in the aesthetic decoration of their school campus.
