Hari Om Parents,
Namaskar.
We welcomed 4 new students and celebrated Shivan's birthday this session All the kids wished Shivan a happy birthday in Sanskrit!! by singing Janmadinam Idam (https://youtu.be/CarveV7cL9E)
Kids performed Likhita Japa - for five minutes - every body writing "Sri Krishna Sarnam Mama" quietly and repeating the phrase silently in their minds.They also learned the Maha Mrityunjayamantra (MP3 file attached below) and performed the bhajan "Radhe Radhe Radhe Radhe Radhe Govinda" available in your child's My Prayers book.
After these activities the kids learned about how King Pareekshit came to be cursed to die in 7 days by sage Sringi who got immensely got angry after seeing a dead snake around his father's neck who was lost in his deep meditation!! Sringi's father admonished him for his unwarranted anger and asks him to go back to Parikshit and inform him of the curse and seek his forgiveness!!
Starting this week the kids started learning 2 slokas of Bhagvad Gita Chapter 18 Moksha Sanyasa Yoga - slokas 41 and 42. Please ensure that kids practice the slokas and memorize it. Here is a link that will help and your kids http://www.geetachanting.net/bvg18v41-50/
Please ensure your kids bring a note book and a couple of pencils for LIkhita Japa along with the prescribed text book - Bala Bhagavatam, 2018-19 Handbook and My Prayers book to every class - Thank you
Can you all ask your kids of examples of experiences when they got angry and felt sorry later or if you can tell them a story from your folklore so that they can relate to it!!
See all of you and kids next Friday!!
Hari Om!!
Shivram & Lakshmi
