JD centenary (Igniting Hearts and Minds)

It is a privilege and blessing to dedicate this song to Pontifical Athenaeum – Jnana Deepa, Pune, as we celebrate its Centenary Year—100 years since its elevation as a Pontifical Institute in 1926. Inspired by the theme “Jnana Deepotsava: A Century of Igniting Hearts and Minds,” this song celebrates Jnana Deepa’s journey of faith, wisdom, and service. With gratitude for the past and hope for the future, we proudly dedicate this song to Jnana Deepa. Lyrics: Igniting Hearts and Minds 1.A little steps, a journey of grace, From Kandy's shores carrying the flame. A little spark that began to glow, Through faith and wisdom, it came to grow. From many nations, together we came, United in purpose, one in the flame. Chorus:- So, come and rise and shine, and celebrate, It's the centenary years of grace. And let our hearts proclaim, to all the nations That jnana deepa is a beacon of light. The flame still shines with hope and love Guiding footsteps with grace igniting hearts and minds. 2. One heart, one mind, together we shine, United as one through all the time. We learn, we grow with wisdom each day Preparing to serve and light the way. A hundred years, a graceful years have past. But the legacy we've made will always last.
