Hindi teacher Mukta Sharma Tripathi released "Muktamani-Sutras of Life"

Chandigarh 24 September ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : Mukta Sharma Tripathi, a Hindi teacher at a school in Batala, released her new book, "Mukta Mani - Sutras of Life," at a function in Chandigarh. Sanjeev Sharma, Joint Secretary, Education Department, was the chief guest, along with family members and friends. Chief guest Sanjeev Sharma congratulated Mukta Sharma Tripathi on her book, saying that Mukta Sharma Tripathi is publishing books that are both educational and inspirational. This is a good initiative to guide children. Sanjeev Sharma said that he has read the book. The book contains powerful, inspiring stories that shed light on various aspects of life. Providing information about the book, Mukta Sharma Tripathi explained that "Mukta Mani" means sacred and precious pearls. They are priceless. A jeweler worships them for their material and economic value, while a scholar worships them for their ideological significance. Gems are not only used to make jewelry or to adorn them as embedded pearls. He further explained that pearls are used symbolically in many places. In this book, pearls also refer to precious thoughts that bring inspiration, energy, positivity, and new life into our lives. Mukta Sharma Tripathi further explained that the foundation for the book "Muktamani - Sutras of Life" was laid during COVID. At that time, I missed not being able to interact with my students, even though classes were being held online. However, to revive the flow of inspiring thoughts that I used to share with them in class, I started posting a Muktamani daily on social media, along with pictures of the children. The students in my school, their parents, my fellow teachers, and my own children loved it and appreciated it immensely. Having laid the foundation of this book in an abstract form at that time, with the blessings of all of you, this dream is now going to come true in a concrete form. The joys and sorrows of my life, the ups and downs of my life, and the reading of various religious texts and books, left an imprint on my philosophy. I wanted to capture it. I wanted to immortalize it. As a teacher, I wondered why I should keep these thoughts to myself? Why not share them with my students? Now, I had two paths before me. One was to convey these thoughts to my students through poetry; the other was to express them as they remained with me. The second path seemed more appropriate because this was the time to speak directly, without beating around the bush. In today's world of negativity, it's always best to speak directly. These pearls, speaking directly and without any ambiguity to the future generation, are an attempt to convey my experiences to them through a few words and relevant images. The vocabulary is simple yet slightly symbolic, based on child psychology, so that students and children of all ages can connect with it. He explained that he has included 100 inspiring thoughts, or 100 Muktamanis, in this book. A Punjabi translation of this book is also available so that all students and children in Punjab can access it.
