Starting each day with morning prayer for school has become more than just a tradition and we have followed this tradition for more than 28 years now – it’s a scientifically proven catalyst for student success. At schools across India, this practice isn’t just about spiritual connection; it’s about building tomorrow’s leaders, one prayer at a time.
The Power of Starting Right
Every morning at 8:00 AM sharp, the school courtyard comes alive with the sound of “Hey Sharde Maa” – the prayer that marks the beginning of our daily assembly. Students gather in neat rows, while five designated prayer leaders take their positions on stage, adjusting their microphones with practiced ease. Our Daily Prayer Include:
- Hey Sharde Maa (Sanskrit Prayer)
- Gayatri Mantra
- Om Sahanavavatu (Unity Prayer)
- National Anthem
- National Pledge
7 Transformative Benefits of Morning Prayer for School
1. Enhanced Focus and Concentration
The rhythmic chanting of the Gayatri Mantra, led by student prayer leaders through our advanced sound system, creates a focused atmosphere that sets the tone for the entire day. Students report better concentration in their first classes, particularly after participating in the morning prayer session.
2. Leadership Development
Each day, five different students lead the morning prayer for school, operating the sound equipment and managing the assembly flow. This rotation system ensures every student gets an opportunity to:
- Lead prayers on stage

3. Current Affairs Awareness
Following the prayers, students present daily news updates, making our morning assembly a blend of spiritual and practical knowledge. This unique approach helps students stay informed while maintaining the sacred atmosphere created by the prayers.
