Rishi Aurobindo Memorial Academy (RAMA), under Dum Dum Aurobindo Educational Trust, located near Kolkata Airport, was founded by Lt. Sri Shambhu Nath Ghosh with a vision to provide formal education to spiritual education to the society, irrespective of cast creed and religion. To love to learn is the most precious gift that one can give to a child: to love to learn always and everywhere, so that all circumstances, all happenings in life may be constantly renewed opportunities for learning more and always more. The things to be taught to a child: 1) The necessity of absolute sincerity. 2) The certitude of the final victory of Truth. 3) The possibility and the will to progress. Good temper, fair play, truthfulness. Patience, endurance, perseverance. Equanimity, courage, cheerfulness. (Courtesy Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry)
