success and in gaining spiritualknowledge”.
Swami Bodhananda says:“By following the seven
spiritual laws, one can remainhappy and peaceful amidststrenuous and tiring activities inlife. The seven laws are:
• The Law of Brahman -Every individual is a field ofinfinite potentiality seeking self-expression, which is possible onlythrough altruistic activities.
• The Law of Maya -Change is a tool of Brahman’sexpression. Accept this fact and
face change by designinginnovative responses.
• The Law of Dharma -Every individual is unique, havingdifferent talents and needs. Talentsare to be expressed and needs are

to be fulfilled within the limits ofuniversal dharma.
• The Law of Karma -Everything in the phenomenalworld has a cause and aconsequence. Individuals createtheir destiny by their moment-to-moment choices and actions.
• The Law of Yajna -The existence of the world isbased upon the principle ofsacrifice - mutual nourishing andcherishing or give and take.Through sacrifice we receive;in possessing we perish.
• The Law of Yoga -The key to happiness isdetachment, the ability toimpartially witness our thoughts
and actions amidst interaction.Cherishing diverse perspectivesand solutions to issues of life isyoga.
• The Law of Leela -Effective individuals expendthe least energy facing life’schallenges. The relaxed andplayful mind gives maximumproductivity and enjoys theexperience of self-explorationand self-expression.
These laws are distilled fromHindu traditions dating to over7,000 years. By organising one’slife according to these laws, onecan experience ultimate freedomand lasting happiness”.

DRINKING WATER FOR CHILDREN
A much-needed drinking
water facility for the BVB-BBMP
Public School at Srirampapuram
in Bengaluru, became a reality
with the installation of an RO
water purification unit at the
school premises on March 20.
The Bengaluru Kendra accepted
with gratitude the RO plant
donated by Vijaya Bank,
Bengaluru.
Dr. Kishore Sansi, Managing
Director and Chief Executive
Officer of the bank inaugurated
the plant. Sri K. G. Raghavan,
Chairman of the school,
presided.
The plant, which has a
capacity of 1,000 litres per
hour, was supplied by M/s Tata
Projects Ltd. The project,
costing about Rs. 12 lakhs, is
supported by Rotary Bangalore
Indiranagar.
With this, the BVB-BBMP
Public School, Sriramapuram,
has notched up a few more
points in its favour as one
of the well-equipped,
child-centric schools
in the city.
