Wow..So nice of you Mehul..Once upon a time I used to sit in the front line on the prarthna mandir stage…thanks for recollecting prarthna mandir memories…
Hello…
I would like to request, if you can upload some more pictures of CN vidyalaya….not just prarthnamandir. it would be a rally good flashback for some ppl.
Thanks Mehul and Megha for reminding me of those wonderful memories of MY SCHOOL. When we were in school we used to take pride in bunking Prathna. Now I realise how foolish we were ! I miss Prathna Mandir and its wonderful atmosphere.
It would certainly be nice if some one posts more pics of our school.
Mehul,
This is a great idea. Thank you !!
I was a batchmate of Rutvij and have seen him bunk a lot of Prarthanas. Now, he realizes his mistakes. Well.. I still dont. I used to bunk with him and it was so much fun. That made it more special. We dont remember every period we did not bunk, we do remember the ones that we did. Those are special ones.
I still respect and cherish Prarthana Mandir and all other memories with my school. I wouldnt be here without it.
Thank you again for bringing it back to me.
Great to see this… I was also on this stage on various ocassions… sitting on for Pratharan either singing or playing some instruments, doing some plays, speaches etc… Good to see this nice effort… i do sing and remember some of the songs …
hi mehul, so nice of you. i am anand trivedi from perth, western australia. seeing this elegant prarthana mandir makes my eye dabbed with tears. i miss this stage and vidhyavihar and all a lot. i wish time could have been paused there when i was in school.

Amazingly wonderful….thanks a million Mehul…..being in Melbourne away from home and my favorite school C.N. this is a great gift…..i can recall all my memories of school time especially all the prarthanas, to go on a stage and sit in a first row everyday was a really great opportunity for me…..and to find all the friends sitting in audience was fun….thanks again for refreshing all my memories…..god bless you…..take care…..
just too powerful nostalgia. you have done such good blog and collection.
we may reach places… we may “tag” ourself with designer,doctor,engineer, whatso ever…nickname that our friends called us by rules aboe all of that, and this place, our prarthana mandir, stays in such solid memories ! i used to sit on the team that was from sangeet udyog and used to sing the prayers. those memories are still solid. i have never found any prayer more powerful than Satya Ahimsa….and it still echoes…soothing me from inside.
thank you, for this effort. god bless you!
Thanks Mehul,
Really in USA there is no place like CN prathna mandir.
I realize what is missing and what is precious.
Thanks Mehul For recalling unforgetable memory of prathnamandir.

Hello Mehul,
It’s is wonderful to have someone keeping the memories of CN alive. For the past few years a small group of us CNites in central New Jersey, USA have organized annual get-together and shared CN memories. Your web site adds to that shaqring in a very important and enjoyable way. Do keep up this good effort and my best wishes to you in your efforts.

Raksha,
Thank you so much for sending this link. Beautiful songs, reminds me of sweet memories of Vidyavihar.
It is so nice to see this site! Reminds me of my very short but sweet time at ‘CN’. Hope those who have material will contribute and make this a rich site. I was there over 45 years ago!
Hi Mehul,
Thank you so much for reminding us where we got “Jeevan nu Bhathu”. I am filled with emotions looking at the prarthana mandir and listening to Bhailalbhai’s songs. I have very fond memory of Bhailalbhai, since myself and my twin brother Vinay were his favourite shishyas along with Apurva Madia from 1971 to 1975.My wife Darshana also graduated from CN and is fond of all of his songs. May be we should all have a seminar on his songs and all the students can meet somewhere !! world is small now !!

Hi Everyone,
As many of you are aware, I produced twin audeo cassettes titled :
” Vidyavihar Geeto” in the memory of Snehrashmi - which was released in January,2000 by Keshubhai Patel, the then Chief Minister of Gujarat in a glittering ceremony attended by all prominent CNites, including Madhav Ramanuj, Bhailalbhai Shah,Preeti Sengupta, Drs. Atul, Ajay, Sanjay Munshi, Chintan Parikh, Jayshri Mehta, Dipti Shah, Amal Dhru,Nitin Shukla, late Haren Pandya etc. to name a few.
Bhailalbhai Shah, our beloved Music Teacher was present throughout the recordings at the studio for all the 24 songs selected and was especially facilitated by the Chief Minister at the function for his valuable contribution and services to the teaching of music and writing famous garbas etc.
The album was produced with Gaurang Vyas as Music Director
[ under the presence and advice of Bhailalbhai Shah] and Arti Munshi, Pranav Mehta of Intel USA, Vibhaben Desai, Mrudulaben Parikh etc.
The cassettes with the booklet containing all songs are available with me in Ahmedabad. Tel : 9879511275 [ Cell ], 91 - 79 - 26765643. I can be contacted via my e-mail ID : pranavcreative@gmail.com.
With fond memories of CN and the Prarthana Mandir and ofcourse, Snehrashmi.

Shri Pranavbhai,
Jay Vidyavihar from a 1974 batch student Dhimant Manilal Gandhi. Though studied in 1971, I studied under Shri Dalal Saheb, Sakarchand C Shah, Bhailalbhai Shah and other technical teachers like shri Zala Saheb, Parmar Saheb, Willie Madam, Rajendra Shah. I remembered the time, when on farmaish of Shri Snehrashmi, Bhailalbhai continued to sing for 2/3 periods. Indeed when I look back at the age of 51 years, I find that as amost golden period of my lifr. I am at Maryland with my daughter. When I come back to Ahmdabad, I will contact you.
My mobile nbr is 9898086252
And this is the other golden moment when Vidyavihar is revived in my blood and heart by this blog.
