Lessons from the Guru–Chela Tradition - Sunbeam School Suncity


After watching this episode, I understood the guru–chela (mentor–seeker) relationship as a living bond rather than just a title. The way Guru Nanak ji patiently prepared Bhai Lehna to receive the "spiritual baton" showed me that a real teacher quietly shapes a student's character over time—not through miracles, but through daily example, guidance, and trust.

The video made me reflect on my own attitude as a learner. Bhai Lehna's humility, obedience, and willingness to do any seva without questioning reminded me that authentic learning requires surrendering the ego and openness to correction. I realised that if I want real growth, I must accept feedback as Bhai Lehna did—seeing it as a blessing that polishes me, not as an insult.

I was especially moved by the idea that Guru Nanak ji chose Bhai Lehna as his successor based on inner spiritual merit rather than blood relations or social status. In a world where preference is often given to family and power, this decision taught me that leadership should be given to the most deserving and sincere person, no matter their background. It challenged me to rethink how I judge people and to value inner qualities over external labels.

The visuals of Guru Nanak ji travelling to different places and interacting with people of many beliefs helped me see oneness in a practical way, not just as a big word. Seeing him engage respectfully in dialogue with diverse communities made me realise that I must also listen to and learn from those who think differently, instead of trying to prove myself right all the time. This inspired me to see diversity in my classroom and society as an opportunity to grow spiritually.

The episode changed the way I look at success in life. Guru Nanak Ji and Bhai Lehna showed that the highest success is not money or fame, but living a life of service, compassion, and truth. Their example motivated me to set goals that include helping others, being honest, and staying connected to the Divine, rather than chasing only marks, careers, and material achievements.

The Power of a School Retreat - Sunbeam School Ballia


Good School Retreat

My Good School Retreat is more than just a break from routine—it is a thoughtful expression of how deeply a school cares for the holistic growth of its students. It reflects a commitment to the four pillars of development: Study, Service, Sports, and Skills. Through meaningful activities, reflection, teamwork, and experiential learning, a retreat creates space for students to recharge, rediscover purpose, and realign with values. It strengthens academic focus, cultivates empathy through service, builds resilience through sports, and sharpens life skills essential for the future. In essence, a well-planned school retreat is a powerful way of saying, “We care for every dimension of your growth.”

The Importance of Communication Skills - Lotus Petal Foundation

Communication skills are an essential part of a student's growth and future success. To help students understand their importance and inspire them to develop strong communication skills, the school organised an interactive and enriching session led by Mr Kartik Bajoria. 

The session helped students realise that strong communication skills can transform the way they connect with people, solve problems, and achieve their goals. It was an inspiring and motivating experience for everyone, leaving students more aware and confident about improving their communication.
