Nurturing the Inner Self: An Inspiring Session on Spirituality and Happiness at SFHS

October 19, 2026

Strawberry Fields High School was honoured to host Indresh Ji Maharaj, accompanied by acclaimed singer
B. Praak, for an engaging and thought-provoking interaction with students of Grades 10 to 12. Centred on
spirituality, inner happiness and the transformative power of positive thinking, the session offered students a
meaningful opportunity to reflect on what it truly means to lead a balanced, purposeful and fulfilling life.

The session opened on a serene note with soulful shlokas and a bhajan by Indresh Ji Maharaj, creating an
atmosphere of calm and introspection. In his address, he explored the idea that lasting happiness stems not
from material possessions or external achievements, but from a deeper sense of contentment, selfawareness
and inner peace. Drawing from anecdotes from his own school days, he established an immediate
connection with the students, addressing the aspirations, uncertainties and pressures that define the lives of
today’s younger generation.

Emphasising that spirituality transcends age and extends far beyond religious rituals, Indresh Ji Maharaj
encouraged students to embrace practices that nurture mindfulness, clarity of thought and emotional balance.
He highlighted the importance of staying grounded amid the demands of an increasingly fast-paced world,
reminding students that a positive outlook, a clear sense of purpose and an awareness of one’s thoughts can
help build resilience and navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence. His reflections on manifestation
underscored an equally important message: that aspirations must be accompanied by focused intention,
sincere effort and purposeful action.

Adding a memorable musical dimension to the gathering, B. Praak captivated the audience with soulful
renditions of some of his popular songs. His performance beautifully complemented the contemplative spirit
of the session, making the experience both emotionally resonant and deeply engaging for the students.

The interaction reaffirmed an essential tenet of education at Strawberry Fields High School: that true learning
extends beyond academic achievement to encompass emotional well-being, personal growth and the
development of character. It encouraged students to pause, look inward and reconnect with their values,
recognising that the foundation of lasting happiness lies in understanding oneself and cultivating a sense of
inner harmony.

Strawberry Fields High School expresses its heartfelt gratitude to Indresh Ji Maharaj and B. Praak for an
enriching and memorable experience. Their presence and insights offered students not merely a moment of
inspiration, but a valuable reminder that amidst the pursuit of success, it is equally important to nurture the
mind, nourish the spirit and find happiness within.
