“The mind’s sharp intellect will bring freedom and everlasting joy.” This quote showcases the potential of mind in achieving spiritual liberation which is made possible by reciting Shree Manache Shlok written by Samarth Ramdas Swami.

To nurture values like good conduct, self-control and mindfulness, PTVA’s English Medium School, Andheri conducted interhouse competition of Shree Manache Shlok recitation on 14th July 2025.

After the competition, the judges appreciated the efforts by all the participants and also guided them on the importance of clear and correct pronunciation and presentation with correct posture and body language.
