AIMS OF THE HINDUISM MOVEMENT IN SCHOOLS
![]()
Focus attention on the need to integrate our educational system, making it complete, not merely functional, job-oriented, and thereby fulfil a need longfelt by thinking Mauritians;
Make youth aware of the rich heritage of Hinduism and thereby satisfy the aspirations
of parents and others concerned;
Give teachers the opportunity to play the role they are eager and expected to play as "dispellers of darkness";
Lead to the promotion of effective religious understanding in the school, and thus
Help in the flowering of the Mauritian personality, giving it the soul it badly needs, and making our country a real model to the world.

Song of the Hinduism Movement
Children of Immortal Bliss
We're children of immortal bliss
Moving on from height to height
One heart, one voice, one goal ours:
Rise to promote Truth and Dharma .....
So sang in Veda, Gita, Kural
Angirasa, Atri, Vyas, Tiru,
Buddha, Shankara, Mira too
Namdev, Jay, Daya, Arvind
We're children .....
Resting in Yoga, science of soul,
Taking matter to cosmic age,
Op'ning man to dawns sublime,
One with his Maker, one with All
We're children .....
In work and play and song and dance,
Boldly holding His sacred flag
In town and village we'll light His torch
And thousand sparks will blaze the trail,
We're children .....
One in spirit, one in the Movement,
Girdled strongly in dharmic bonds,
Let's pledge aye to live our life
As true rishi santaans everywhere
We're children .....
