St. Mark's Girls School, Meera Bagh - Durga Puja Celebrations : Click to Enlarge

RUPAM DEHI JAYAM DEHI YASHO DEHI DVISHO JAHI

This mantra tells us to get rid of our false ego and to get rid of negative and mindless people around us who create hurdles and problems in our life.

'Rupam dehi' doesn't refer to a prayer for NAME or FORM or BEAUTY, but it is an entreaty to gain 'PRABHAVALAYA’. Without gaining a great PRABHA OR AURA, victory, fame or spiritual growth is not possible.

'Jayam dehi' is a prayer for victory while 'Yasho dehi' is an entreaty to gain fame.

'Dvisha' refers to hatred, enmity and hostility. 'Dvisho Jahi' thus means to turn away from enemies and hatred. Once we put down our internal enemies of hatred, enmity and jealousy, our spiritual path opens. This mantra is sung to welcome the Mother Durga and to seek her blessings.

We at St. Mark’s Girls Sr. Sec. School, with full spirit and reverence, welcome the epitomy of shakti - Goddess Durga. To mark the occasion of Durga Puja, a pujo - prayer service was performed by Oindrilla Chatterjee of Class 9 and a dance by Sanchari Nayek of Class 7 to fáilte the goddess.

On this auspicious occasion, the SMGS family wishes everyone a Happy Durga Pujo.

As a result, the abundance of ODSs in the atmosphere is declining and a recent study has indicated that the ozone layer is recovering. Due to the significant reduction of ODSs globally and the starting of recovery of the Ozone Layer, the Montreal Protocol has been recognized as the most successful environment treaty, globally. The Protocol has been universally ratified by all 97 member countries of United Nations.

India is a Party to the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer and all its amendments. India has been successfully implementing the phase-out programme for Ozone Depleting Substances (ODSs) in the country.
