Gurukul Mysore Alumni Anurag R. P Wins State-Level Basketball Championship | Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul International School

On 21st July 2025, the basketball courts at Kalaburagi witnessed an electrifying day of competition as young athletes from across Karnataka gathered for the State Level Basketball Championship. Amidst intense gameplay and fierce competition, one name stood out— “Anurag R. P, a proud alumnus of Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul International School, Mysore”, and current student of Base PU College, Mysore.

Representing his PU college, Anurag not only participated with passion but delivered a commanding performance that led him to clinch “1st place and the overall championship title”. His game was a blend of speed, strategy, skill, and sportsmanship—leaving a lasting impression on both the audience and the judges. This wasn’t just a win; it was a reflection of years of consistent effort and the deeply rooted values he carried from his Gurukul days.

During his time at Gurukul Mysore, Anurag was known for his exceptional discipline, humility, and balanced growth—qualities that Gurukul education deeply emphasizes through its tri-fold mission: Character, Competence, and Culture. The school’s environment, which blends spiritual grounding with academic excellence and physical training, was the foundation for his development as a well-rounded individual.

In Kalburgi, Anurag’s matches showcased his incredible agility, sharp decision-making, and leadership on the court. Whether it was a crucial steal, a game-changing pass, or a perfectly timed basket, he played with maturity well beyond his years. His ability to stay calm under pressure and guide his teammates through tight moments played a vital role in their victory.

One of the most remarkable aspects of his performance was the humility with which he carried himself. Despite being the star of the day, Anurag credited his success to his early schooling at Gurukul Mysore. In a short interaction after receiving the trophy and medal, he shared, “Gurukul is where it all began. The discipline, values, and support I received from my teachers and Swamijis have helped me remain focused and grounded. This win belongs as much to them as it does to me.”

Anurag’s journey from the classrooms and basketball courts of Gurukul Mysore to state-level recognition in Kalburgi serves as a powerful inspiration to every Gurukulite. His story reaffirms that true education is not confined to textbooks; it is reflected in how one leads, competes, and uplifts others.
