Man cannot live in isolation, however great he may be. He depends on the society in every walk of life. Then it will become his bounded duty to give back to society from what he has received. It will indeed be a wasted life if he cannot pay back his debt to society, albeit in a little measure, during his lifetime. This can be achieved only if he is constantly tuned to the wants of the less privileged. Today the world is a boiling cauldron of social ills like illiteracy, ill-health, and poverty, compounded by natural disasters like earthquakes and floods.
If only each one of us takes up cudgels against just one issue and makes it our business to alleviate the problem. How wonderful it would be if each one of us has our mission to provide just one family with the basic necessities of Anna, Akshara, and Arogya i.e., food, education, and health. Social service should not be indulged in for the sake of fame or fortune. But it must be done with the spirit of doing one’s duty, and not as dispensing a favour. One should indeed feel blessed that he has been given an opportunity to serve the needy.
Education is a very important tool for everyone to succeed in life and get something different. Knowledge gained throughout the education period enables each and every individual to develop confidence in them. It opens various doors to the opportunities of achieving better prospects in life and hence promotes career growth. Education is the act of learning things around us. It helps us to easily understand and deal with any problem and balance throughout our whole life in every aspect. It is the first and foremost right of every human being. Without education, we are incomplete and our lives are useless. It helps us to set a goal and go ahead by working on that throughout life. Education improves our knowledge, skill, confidence level, and personality. It empowers us intellectually to interact with others in our life. It brings maturity and teaches us to live in a society with a changing environment. It is the way to social development, economic growth, and technological development. Education is an effort of the senior people to transfer their knowledge to the younger members of society. It is thus an institution, which plays a vital role in integrating an individual with his/her society and in maintaining the preservation of culture. It is an essential prerequisite of modernization. It enables people to know the world beyond their own surroundings and transforms them to become humanist in outlook and worldview.
School is the center, where children would learn to serve society. Teachers are like deities inside the temple. Never in the past, mere infrastructure made the institution’s great. The strength of any institution is its teachers. They are the real builders of the system. Hence, the responsibility of teachers along with the Principal is quite significant. Promoting the values in life and ethics in the work is very important. With this value and understanding, we hope our teachers of BGS International Residential School, Nithyanandanagar, Bengaluru will take the institution to mountainous height, for the betterment of the nation as a whole. I beseech Lord Kalabhyraveshwara Swamy and His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Padmabhushan Dr. Balagangadharanatha Mahaswamiji to bestow his choicest blessings upon one and all.
Over the last two decades, the school has made rapid strides in various fields from academics, co-curricular to sports. This remarkable progress is a matter of rejoicing. Today, children are born with multiple talents that need to be nurtured by parents, teachers, and society. In the school especially, these talents have to be identified, fine-tuned and opportunities to be given to bring out the best in them.
Children should also be given an opportunity to achieve all-round development which can be channelized later for the service of society. Reading and writing alone don’t make a complete personality. The nation needs children with proper education and good character to serve humanity with dignity, honor, and pride. I wish the members of staff, students all the best in working towards this noble goal.
Mahaswamiji’s vision was revolutionary in its simplicity—education must serve humanity. He saw learning as a divine act of self-awakening and societal transformation. For him, a truly educated individual was one who combined intellect with integrity, achievement with altruism, and knowledge with compassion. Under his guidance, BGS Institutions blossomed into centers of academic and spiritual excellence, serving communities across India and abroad with unwavering dedication.
This noble legacy is today carried forward by His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Dr. Nirmalanandanatha Mahaswamiji, the present pontiff of the Adichunchanagiri Mahasamsthana Math. His Holiness has infused the BGS movement with renewed energy, wisdom, and futuristic vision—ensuring that our institutions evolve with the times while remaining anchored in eternal values. His leadership symbolizes the harmony of tradition and technology, of ancient philosophy and modern innovation.
Under his divine guidance, education within the BGS framework is not simply an academic pursuit but a journey of enlightenment—a process that nurtures both intellect and inner peace. Through His Holiness’s inspiration, BGS Institutions have continued to expand their reach, offering globally relevant education that remains deeply rooted in Indian culture, ethics, and spirituality.
At BGS High – Cambridge International School, Bannerghatta, we are blessed to walk this sacred path under the compassionate leadership of His Holiness Sri Sri Sri Prakashanath Swamiji. His presence is a constant source of strength and clarity for our community. Swamiji’s vision—of education that harmonizes intellect with emotion and knowledge with kindness—guides every endeavor of the school. Under his care, BGS High has grown into a sanctuary of learning where discipline coexists with creativity, and where spirituality enhances scholarship.
The BGS legacy rests upon the eternal principles of Jnana (Knowledge), Seva (Service), and Tyaga (Sacrifice). These ideals are not merely part of our philosophy—they are the very essence of our daily practice. We believe that learning should cultivate a sense of service, that knowledge should awaken humility, and that true success comes through selfless contribution.
Through the blessings of our revered Jagadgurus, BGS High continues to be a bridge between the wisdom of the past and the promise of the future. Our mission is to ensure that every learner who passes through our doors carries within them both the clarity of intellect and the compassion of heart.
In a rapidly changing world, our legacy reminds us of what must remain unchanged—the pursuit of truth, the practice of virtue, and the reverence for life.
BGS High – Cambridge International School stands as a living testimony to this truth: that when learning is rooted in values, it can shape not just successful individuals but enlightened human beings.
At BGS High – Cambridge International School, we provide a holistic and value-driven learning environment that supports academic excellence, emotional well-being, and character development, preparing learners for life beyond the classroom.
