The Indian National Temperance Association : The Seventh-day Adventist philosophy of
Temperance centres on the concept that one’s body is the “Temple of God”, and to maintain the
sanctity of this “Temple” we believe and promote the principles of temperance and a temperate life
style. In accordance to with this philosophy the school conducts activities to promote and
inculcate the principles of temperance among the students. No student is permitted to have in his
possession any drugs, alcohol or any substance that is addictive in nature or creates a
dependency on it. In keeping with this philosophy the school cafeteria serves only vegetarian food
which includes fresh vegetables, pulses, fruit, grains, nuts, cereals, etc. The school, accepting that
this type of food is the “original diet” of man, does not serve non-vegetarian food in the cafeteria or
permit its use in the hostels.
Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it springs the issues, of life. Let your eyes look straight
ahead, and your eyelids right before you. Ponder the path of your feet. And let all your ways be
established. Do not turn to the right or the left, remove your foot from evil.
