 Story 2021: A Second Toy Store Across the Street in Dang, Nepal 

There was a family from Dang, Nepal, consisting of a mother, father, two daughters, and a son. The youngest daughter was in grade 5, the oldest in grade 10, and the son in grade 7. Both parents had worked very hard for many years and only spent money on necessary expenses. In this way, they had saved money little by little until they had enough to open a store. With that money, they had opened a toy store three months ago, where they sold all kinds of toys. 

All three children had helped almost every day for the past three months after they had first done their homework and other household chores. They helped in the store with cleaning, arranging, decorating, and other tasks. Financially, things were going very well in the first three months; the family made a profit and could use part of the profit for things they had always wanted to do but didn't have enough money for before. 

But suddenly, the whole situation changed. Another family opened an even larger store across from their store and sold the same types of toys, only at slightly cheaper prices than this family's. As a result, a portion of the customers started going to the new store across the street from the fourth month onward. Something had to be done, or else this family might have to close their store if not enough profit was made to cover the costs. 

Question of the day: What would you do if you were one of the five members of this family? 


Story 2022: Binza's Journey to Make an Even Better World

Binza, a 12-year-old girl from Birat Nagar, Nepal, wanted to change the world. She gave her classmates instructions on what they had to do to make a difference. At first, they followed her instructions and improved their character. But over time, they stopped following her guidance, and their character improvement ceased. Binza was very sad and blamed everyone, saying they were not good examples. "In the beginning, everyone listened to me, but for the past year, no one listens or takes me seriously, and in the last few weeks, they even mock me," Binza lamented to herself.

Discouraged, Binza sought help from Guru-Practice. She poured out her sadness to him. Halfway through her explanation, Guru-Practice already understood the situation.
"Are you a good example for your classmates?" asked Guru-Practice.
Binza replied, "Yes, Guru ji, I am a perfect example."

Guru-Practice said, "Okay, let's see how perfect you are. Are you always honest with your parents, teachers, and classmates?"
Binza was silent for a moment and then said, "No, Guru ji, sometimes I lie to my parents, teachers, and classmates."
Guru-Practice asked, "Binza, my child, do you do the things you expect from your classmates yourself?"
Again, Binza was silent for a moment and then said, "Yes, Guru-Practice, but not for the past year."

"Dear Binza, you have just answered the question for which you came to me. When I was in school, I wanted exactly the same as you—that everyone keep improving their ways and we together create an even better world. At first, it worked very well, but later I couldn't inspire anyone anymore. I blamed everyone but didn't honestly look at myself. But the day I looked at myself and started to improve my behavior, I could inspire everyone again."

Binza now understood the solution. She thanked Guru-Practice and gave the wise Guru a beautiful drawing she had made. She promised Guru-Practice and herself that she would never give instructions to others again without first practicing them herself and transforming herself even more.

Guru-Practice was very pleased and said, "You are a remarkable student. Would you put your signature and the date on your beautiful drawing? I will give it a place in this room so that I also remember to keep practicing values until the goal is achieved."
As a result, Binza became a great inspiration to everyone who knew her. She became successful in everything she did and, alongside her daily activities, became an exemplary Guru.

This story was created in July 2024 by Ssssb-guru Daju [Sunil Marapin] and can be used by anyone in Ssssb classes or other gatherings with the same purpose.

Story 2025a: Final Report of Altaaf from Suriname [For 10 year and older] 

Altaaf, a student of class 4 from South America, Suriname, has received his final report. He has passed and will go to class 5. It is a very good report with many high grades. When Altaaf looked at his report, he was happy, but he also worried.  
He thought: "How will my parents react to that 5? How will my grandma and grandpa react?"  
He mostly thought about his aunt: "How will my dear Aunt Nefissa react? She has always helped me with studying and doing homework. I hope she doesn’t notice that 5 and won’t be disappointed in me." 
 

Today's question: What do you think of the report, and how would you react if you were Altaaf's parent, grandparent, aunt, or uncle?

English,  Story 2025b for ages 5-9: A Turtle Joined a Running Race 

One day, the president of the animals decided to organize a running race. All kinds of animals participated, like a chicken, a dog, an elephant, a cow, a mouse, a horse, a turtle, and many more. All the other animals laughed at the turtle. "You're too slow, you can never win!" they shouted. 

But the turtle didn’t give up. He started running, slowly but determined. Along the way, he tripped once and fell behind. He felt sad and thought, "How will my parents react? What will my friends say?" But most of all, the turtle thought about his grandma, who always said: "Never compare yourself to others and always try your very best." 

After a long effort, the turtle finally reached the finish line. He didn’t win the race, but he felt proud. His parents and grandma gave him a big hug. "We’re proud of you!" they said. "You didn’t win, but you did your best, and that’s what matters." 

 
Today's questions: 
1] What do you think of this story? 
2] If you could be any animal, which animal would you want to be and why? 


English, For 10 and older: Story 2026a: Starting Your Own Business or Working for a Boss?

For 10 and older: Story 2026a: Starting Your Own Business or Working for a Boss?
 

Two girls in grade 9 in Nepal, Sasha and Liza, were discussing their future. Sasha wanted to start her own business and said, "I’m going to open my own company one day; working for a boss doesn’t appeal to me." Liza didn’t agree and replied, "I think working for a boss is better. Having your own business is too much hassle. My parents have a business, and they hardly have time for us. They never play games like tangram, dominoes, jump rope, Connect Four, Uno, magic cube, Scrabble, or stack high with us."

Sasha said, "I’ll handle things differently. I’ll divide the work properly and have enough time left for other things."
They almost started arguing and decided to go to Guru Practice for advice.

At Guru Practice, Sasha shared her opinion: "Guru Ji, could you please tell Liza that owning a business is much more fun?" Liza quickly responded, "That’s not true, Guru Ji. Can you please explain to Sasha that working for a boss causes less stress?"

Guru Practice smiled and said, "The most important thing isn’t what you do, but how you do it. Whether you own a business, work for a boss, are the Prime Minister of the country, a teacher, or something else, do your work as best as you can, and be loving, honest, and kind to everyone."


The girls understood and thanked Guru Practice. On their way home, Liza, who had initially been against it, said to Sasha,"Sasha, should we start a business together later?" And that’s exactly what they did. Their business became a great success, thanks to applying the wise lessons of Guru Practice, as they began practicing those teachings from that very day.

 

Today's Question: Shall we share our opinions on this story?

Pour 10 ans et plus Histoire 2026a : Créer son propre entreprise ou travailler pour un patron ?

Deux filles en classe de 9ème en RD Congo, Malia et Zuri, parlaient de leur avenir. Malia voulait créer sa propre entreprise et dit : "Un jour, je vais ouvrir ma propre entreprise ; travailler pour un patron ne m'attire pas." Zuri n'était pas d'accord et répondit : "Je pense que travailler pour un patron est mieux. Avoir sa propre entreprise, c’est trop de tracas. Mes parents ont une entreprise, et ils n'ont presque jamais de temps pour nous. Ils ne jouent jamais à des jeux ou ne font d'autres activités amusantes avec nous."

Malia dit : "Je ferai les choses différemment. Je vais bien diviser le travail et garder assez de temps pour d'autres choses." Elles étaient sur le point de se disputer et décidèrent d'aller voir Guru Practice pour demander conseil.

Chez Guru Practice, Malia exposa son opinion : "Guru Ji, pouvez-vous dire à Zuri que posséder une entreprise est beaucoup plus amusant ?" Zuri répondit rapidement : "Ce n'est pas vrai, Guru Ji. Pouvez-vous expliquer à Malia que travailler pour un patron est moins stressant ?"

Guru Practice sourit et dit : "L'essentiel n'est pas ce que tu fais, mais comment tu le fais. Que tu possèdes une entreprise, que tu travailles pour un patron, que tu sois Premier Ministre du pays, enseignant ou autre chose, fais ton travail du mieux possible, et sois aimant, honnête et gentil avec tout le monde."

Les filles comprirent et remercièrent Guru Practice. Sur le chemin du retour, Zuri, qui était initialement contre l'idée, dit à Malia : "Malia, devrions-nous créer une entreprise ensemble plus tard ?" C'est exactement ce qu'elles firent. Leur entreprise connut un grand succès, grâce aux sages conseils de Guru Practice, qu'elles commencèrent à mettre en pratique dès ce jour-là.

English, Story 2026b for ages 5-9: Two Friends and the School Garden

 

Zara and Lina were best friends who loved helping in the school garden. Every day after class, they watered the plants and pulled out weeds. One day, they started talking about the future.

Zara said, "When I grow up, I want to have a garden! I’ll grow flowers, vegetables, and fruit, and sell them to people. With the money I earn, I’ll buy games."

Lina replied, "Great idea! I’ll open a toy shop, and you can buy games from me. I’ll buy vegetables from you!"

But then Zara said, "No, I’ll open the toy shop, and you can grow the vegetables!"

The girls started arguing. Finally, they decided to ask their SSSSB Guru for advice.

The Guru listened and said, "You both have great ideas! Why not work together? Start by taking care of the school garden together."

And that’s what they did! They worked hard, helped each other, and even had time to play. Everyone was proud of the school garden thanks to Zara and Lina’s teamwork and good manners.

Zara et Lina étaient deux meilleures amies qui adoraient aider dans le jardin de l'école. Chaque jour après la classe, elles arrosaient les plantes et désherbaient. Un jour, elles ont commencé à parler de leur futur.

Zara a dit : "Quand je serai grande, je veux avoir un jardin ! Je vais cultiver des fleurs, des légumes et des fruits, et je vais les vendre aux gens. Avec l'argent, j'achèterai des jeux."

Lina a répondu : "Bonne idée ! Je vais ouvrir un magasin de jouets, et tu pourras acheter des jeux chez moi. Moi, j'achèterai des légumes chez toi !"

Mais ensuite Zara a dit : "Non, c'est moi qui vais ouvrir le magasin de jouets, et toi tu cultiveras les légumes !"

Les filles ont commencé à se disputer. Finalement, elles ont décidé de demander conseil à leur Guru Ssssb.

Le Guru les a écoutées et a dit : "Vous avez toutes les deux de bonnes idées ! Pourquoi ne pas travailler ensemble ? Commencez en prenant soin du jardin de l'école ensemble."

"Quelle bonne idée, Guru Ji !" dirent-elles en même temps.

Et c'est ce qu'elles ont fait ! Elles ont travaillé dur, se sont aidées mutuellement, et ont même eu le temps de jouer. Tout le monde était fier du jardin de l'école grâce au travail d'équipe et aux bonnes manières de Zara et Lina.

Story 2027A: Two Friends from Congo and Nepal in Mumbai

Story 2027A: Two Friends from Congo and Nepal in Mumbai

Story 2027a: Two Friends from Congo and Nepal in Mumbai

It was vacation time, and Zalima from Congo and Binza from Nepal met each other in Mumbai, near the house of their SSSSB Guru Kusumaa. While sitting in a park, they talked about school, vacations, and holidays.

Binza: "I really like school, how about you?"

Zalima: "School is fun, but vacation is much better! And it's also really important to study well."

Binza: "Yes, vacation is amazing! In Nepal, we celebrate many holidays, like Dashain. We get presents, but I actually prefer giving presents over receiving them!"

Zalima: "In Congo, we mostly celebrate Christmas. It's a big celebration with music and dancing, and we also give a lot of presents. But I really love spending time with family."

Binza: "That sounds lovely! We give presents for Tihar, and my family always makes delicious dishes. Not always healthy, though, but they’re tasty every once in a while."

Zalima: "Same here! My mom recently became vegetarian. It was strange not eating meat anymore, but there are some tasty meat substitutes. I really like futo."

Binza: "What’s futo? Oh, you mean tofu, right?"

Zalima: "Yes, sorry! I meant tofu!"

They smiled at each other, happy that they had so much in common despite their different backgrounds. Zalima said, "Next year, I hope we can go to Nepal for vacation. Then we can finally see Bhagwan Baba in person and receive His blessings. And I’d also love to see the SSSVM school in Balkot, if that’s allowed."

Binza: "That would be amazing! Let me know in advance, and I’ll prepare to show you some great places in Nepal."

The question of the day: "How do we feel about school, where would you like to go on vacation, and what do we think about festivals and receiving presents?"

Kahani 2027a: Congo ra Nepal ko Dui Sathi Mumbai ma

Yo chhuti ko samay thiyo, ra Zalima Congo bata ra Binza Nepal bata Mumbai ma aayeko thiyo, uniharu ko SSSSB Guru Kusumaa ko ghar ko najik. Uhharu park ma basera, school, chhuti ra tyo din haru ko barema kura garthye.

Zalima: "Mero pani tei ho! Mero aamaa recently vegetarian bhayeko cha. Naya cheez ho, maas khanai naparera, tara kehi ramro meat substitutes cha. Mero man parcha futo."

Binza: "Futo ke ho? Ooo, timi tofu bhannu cha, hoina ra?"

Histoire 2027a: Deux Amies du Congo et du Népal à Mumbai

C'était les vacances, et Zalima du Congo et Binza du Népal se sont rencontrées à Mumbai, près de la maison de leur Guru SSSSB Kusumaa. Tout en étant assises dans un parc, elles ont discuté de l'école, des vacances et des fêtes.

Binza : "J'aime vraiment l'école, et toi ?"

Zalima : "L'école est amusante, mais les vacances c'est bien mieux ! Et il est aussi très important d'étudier sérieusement."

Binza : "Oui, les vacances sont géniales ! Au Népal, on fête beaucoup de jours fériés, comme Dashain. On reçoit des cadeaux, mais en fait, j'aime beaucoup plus offrir des cadeaux que d'en recevoir !"

Zalima : "Au Congo, on fête surtout Noël. C'est une grande fête avec de la musique et de la danse, et on donne aussi beaucoup de cadeaux. Mais ce que je préfère, c'est passer du temps avec ma famille."

Binza : "Cela a l'air magnifique ! On donne des cadeaux pour Tihar, et ma famille prépare toujours de bons plats. Ce n'est pas toujours très sain, mais c'est délicieux de temps en temps."

Zalima : "Moi aussi ! Ma maman est devenue végétarienne récemment. C'était étrange de ne plus manger de viande, mais il y a de bons substituts. J'adore le futo."

Binza : "Le futo, c'est quoi ? Oh, tu veux dire le tofu, non ?"

Zalima : "Oui, désolée ! Je voulais dire le tofu !"

Elles se sourirent et étaient heureuses de constater qu'elles avaient beaucoup de choses en commun malgré leurs origines différentes. Zalima dit : "L'année prochaine, j'espère qu'on ira au Népal pendant les vacances. Comme ça, on pourra enfin voir Bhagwan Baba en personne et recevoir Sa bénédiction. Et j'aimerais aussi voir l'école SSSVM à Balkot, si c'est possible."

Binza : "Ce serait incroyable ! Fais-le moi savoir à l'avance, et je me préparerai pour te montrer de beaux endroits au Népal."

La question du jour : "Comment ressentons-nous l'école, où aimerions-nous partir en vacances, et que pensons-nous des fêtes et de recevoir des cadeaux ?"

Story 2028a: Am I Really a Good Friend?


Story 2028a: Am I Really a Good Friend?

Story 2028a: Am I Really a Good Friend?

Two students were discussing what it means to be a good friend.
One said, "I wonder if I am a good friend."
The other replied, "Good question! Let’s ask the wise Guru Practice."
The boys went to Guru Practice and asked together, "Sairam, Guru Ji, am I really a good friend?"
Guru Practice laughed and was pleased, as it was the first time he’d received such an important question. Guru Practice replied, "This is an excellent question to ask yourself. By asking this question, you begin to understand how good you already are and what you can still improve." "A good friend," he continued, "is someone who always wants their friends to do their best and make progress in all areas of life."
The boys asked curiously, "In which areas should we make progress, Guru Ji?"
Guru Practice answered, "In studying, in sports, in dance , in drama, in seva (selfless service), in being helpful—at home, at school, and everywhere you have the opportunity—in giving, in sharing, in forgiving, in talk soft and polite and so on. But the most important thing is... that everything you think, say, and do is connected to the values that your SSSSB Gurus teach you every week."
The boys looked at each other and said, "Guru Practice, our SSSSB Gurus—Meena Ma'am, Gita Ma'am, Kusumaa, Neerana Ma'am, Guru Daju, and all the other SSSSB Gurus—teach us so many values each week. Which of these values should we practice first?"
Guru Practice replied, "Begin with the teachings that you understand well and fully agree with. And one more thing: treat the teachings from your parents, elders, and teachers in the same way." The students thanked Guru Practice. They felt very grateful and happy, knowing now exactly what they needed to do.

Question of the Day: Shall we share real-life examples of experiences with our friends and how we deal with them that time?

Histoire 2028a: Suis-je vraiment un bon ami ?

Histoire 2028a: Suis-je vraiment un bon ami ?
Deux étudiants discutaient de ce que signifie être un bon ami.
L'un dit : "Je me demande si je suis un bon ami."
L'autre répondit : "Bonne question ! Demandons au sage Guru Practice."

Les garçons allèrent voir Guru Practice et demandèrent ensemble : "Sairam, Guru Ji, suis-je vraiment un bon ami ?" Guru Practice rit et fut heureux, car c'était la première fois qu'il recevait une question aussi importante, et de la part des étudiants de la classe de 6e.

Guru Practice répondit : "C'est une excellente question à se poser. En posant cette question, vous commencez à comprendre à quel point vous êtes déjà un bon ami et ce que vous pouvez encore améliorer."

"Un bon ami," continua-t-il, "est quelqu'un qui veut toujours que ses amis fassent de leur mieux et progressent dans tous les domaines de la vie."

Les garçons demandèrent curieusement : "Dans quels domaines devons-nous progresser, Guru Ji ?"

Guru Practice répondit : "Dans les études, dans le sport, dans la danse, dans le théâtre, dans le seva (service désintéressé), en étant utile—à la maison, à l'école, et partout où une occasion se présente—inclure le don, le partage, le pardon, parler doucement et poliment, etc. Mais le plus important est... que tout ce que vous pensez, dites et faites soit en lien avec les valeurs que vos SSSSB Gurus vous enseignent chaque semaine."

Les garçons se regardèrent et dirent : "Guru Practice, nos SSSSB Gurus—Mephia Ma'am, Ngonde Sir, Blanchard Sir, et tous les autres SSSSB Gurus—nous enseignent tant de valeurs chaque semaine. Laquelle de ces valeurs devons-nous pratiquer en premier ?"

Guru Practice répondit : "Commencez par les enseignements que vous comprenez bien et avec lesquels vous êtes entièrement d'accord. Et une chose de plus : traitez les enseignements de vos parents, aînés et enseignants de la même manière."

Les étudiants remercièrent Guru Practice. Ils se sentirent très reconnaissants et heureux, sachant maintenant exactement ce qu'ils devaient faire.

Question du jour : Devons-nous partager des exemples réels d'expériences avec nos amis et comment nous les avons gérées à ce moment-là ?

2028b: Am I Really a Good Friend? (for Kids 5-9)

Two friends were talking about what it means to be a good friend.
One friend said, "I wonder if I am a good friend."
The other friend said, "That’s a good question! Let’s ask our SSSSB Guru."

So, the two girls went to their SSSSB Guru and asked, "Sairam Ma'am, am I really a good friend?" The SSSSB Guru smiled and laughed because it was the first time she had heard such an important question from the students.

The SSSSB Guru said, "This is a great question to ask yourself! By asking, you can understand what you are already good at and what you can get better at."

"A good friend," he explained, "is someone who always wants their friends to try their best and get better in all parts of life."

The girls asked, "Where should we get better, Ma'am?"

The SSSSB Guru smiled and said, "You can get better in studying, in sports, in dancing, in acting, in helping others, in being kind at home and at school, in sharing, in forgiving, and in speaking kindly to others. But the most important thing is to make sure that everything you think, say, and do is connected to the good values your SSSSB teachers teach you every week."

The girls looked at each other and said, "Ma'am, our teachers—Meena Ma'am, Gita Ma'am, Kusumaa, Neerana Ma'am, Guru Daju, and all the other teachers—teach us so many good values each week. Which one should we practice first?"

The SSSSB Guru said, "Start with the things that you understand the most and agree with. And remember, always listen to the teachings of your parents, grandparents, and teachers too."

The two friends thanked their SSSSB Guru and left feeling happy and grateful. Now they knew exactly what they needed to do to be good friends.

Question of the Day: Can we share examples of times we helped or were kind to our friends?

20... concept

Kiki and Elise, both 13 years old, were close friends who attended the same school. They shared a long history of playing together and had known each other since they were little. Despite their strong bond, recent changes had begun to affect their relationship. Kiki's personality had shifted, becoming increasingly jealous and angry. While they used to excel academically, Kiki now struggled with envy when others outperformed her or received compliments. Even small things, like classmates having new possessions, stirred feelings of jealousy in Kiki.

This change didn't go unnoticed by Elise, who observed Kiki's unusual behavior and sensed her friend's unhappiness. On their way home from school, Elise gently inquired about Kiki's feelings, prompting her to express her frustrations about not achieving top marks in math and longing for material possessions like new shoes and a mobile phone. Elise was taken aback by Kiki's jealousy, as she herself found joy in others' successes and possessions.

Reflecting on Kiki's behavior, Elise realized the negative impact of jealousy and its effects on their friendship. She pondered how to address the issue with her friend and help her overcome these feelings.

 

 

French: Histoire 2027b: Deux Amis du Congo et du Népal à Mumbai

C’était le moment des vacances, et Kito du Congo et Darpan du Népal se sont rencontrés à Mumbai, près de la maison de leur SSSSB Guru Kusumaa. En étant assis dans un parc, ils discutaient de l’école, des vacances et des fêtes.
Darpan: "J’aime vraiment l’école. Et toi?"
Kito: "L’école, c’est amusant, mais les vacances, c’est encore mieux ! Et c’est très important d’étudier sérieusement."
Darpan: "Oui, les vacances, c’est génial! Au Népal, on célèbre beaucoup de fêtes, comme Dashain. On reçoit des cadeaux, mais en fait, je préfère en donner qu’en recevoir!"
Kito: "Au Congo, on célèbre surtout Noël. C’est une grande fête avec de la musique et de la danse, et on offre aussi beaucoup de cadeaux. Mais ce que j’aime le plus, c’est passer du temps avec ma famille."
Darpan: "Ça a l’air merveilleux! Pour Tihar, nous offrons aussi des cadeaux, et ma famille cuisine des plats délicieux. Pas toujours très sains, mais c’est un vrai régal de temps en temps."
Kito: "Pareil ici ! Ma maman est récemment devenue végétarienne. Ne plus manger de viande, c’était étrange, mais il y a des substituts de viande très savoureux. J’aime beaucoup le tofu, le tempeh et les morceaux de soja."
Ils se sont souri l’un l’autre, heureux de découvrir autant de choses en commun malgré leurs différences.
Kito: "L’année prochaine, j’espère que nous pourrons aller au Népal pour les vacances. Là-bas, nous pourrons enfin voir Bhagwan Baba en personne et recevoir Sa bénédiction. Et j’aimerais bien aussi voir l’école SSSVM à Balkot, si c’est permis."
Darpan: "Ce serait incroyable ! Préviens-moi à l’avance, et je préparerai une visite des beaux endroits de Bhaktapur."

Question du jour: Que pensons-nous de l’école? Où aimerions-nous aller en vacances, et qu’est-ce que nous pensons des fêtes et de recevoir des cadeaux?

2022 concept

In Story 2016, Kiki arrives home in an uncharacteristically sour mood, venting her frustrations to her mother about not having certain possessions like a mobile phone, new shoes, and a nice bag. Her mother observes her daughter's discontent and retreat to her room with concern. Meanwhile, Elisa, Kiki's close friend, is also at home contemplating Kiki's peculiar behavior. Recognizing the need to address the issue, Elisa formulates a plan to help her friend.

Drawing on their shared love for chess, Elisa decides to engage Kiki in a game. Despite consistently besting Kiki in their matches, Elisa intentionally makes mistakes during their game to allow Kiki the opportunity to win. Surprised by her victory, Kiki experiences a surge of joy and rushes to share her triumph with her mother. As Kiki basks in her newfound sense of accomplishment, Elisa gently probes her friend's emotions, prompting Kiki to reflect on her recent bouts of jealousy and dissatisfaction.

Through their conversation, Kiki realizes the impact of her envy towards her peers who achieve success or possess coveted items. She expresses remorse for her behavior, acknowledging the importance of humility and gratitude. Grateful for Elisa's patience and guidance, Kiki vows to be more mindful of her actions and attitudes in the future. Their exchange serves as a poignant reminder of the value of empathy, humility, and the enduring power of true friendship.
