Rev. Fr. Issac Tharayil CMI

Manager & Director - Viswajyothi Public School

Materialising A Dream

Viswajyothi is so beautiful a name that I would like to keep in my mind always. It simply means ‘light of the world’. It is neither light of the perishable world nor any man-made light but it is the divine, imperishable light that is within oneself. This light is shown forth in the way one lives his or her life. 

Viswajyothi CMI Public School aims to help students become aware of the divine light within them and shine forth spreading its rays all around. In other words, they should leave the world a little better than they found it. In a world full of perishable, man-made lights it becomes harder everyday to become aware of the imperishable, divine light. We are to take up this challenge of guiding our children from falling into the trap of worldly light to be enlightened to become the light of the world, Viswajyothi.

Team Viswajyothi wishes and pray that all the students who join this school become the light of the world or viswajyothi. I wish and pray that Viswajyothi family together achieve its aim during the academic year of 2026-27.
