Hari Om! Parents,

· Chanted Om Namaste astubhagavan… from Sri Rudram. Taught and chanted 4 verses from Lingashtakam
· Chanted and recorded verses 41 through 46 from Chapter 18 of the Bhagavad Gita. Sent our recording to Anjana
· Moved on to the topic of the day and discussed about how Hindu scriptures provide us the art of living a dharmic life
· We narrated the story from the Chandogaya Upanishad, about the conversation between Uddalaka and Svetaketu
· Discussed 2 samskaras, namely Upanayanam and Samavartana, how these help us to purify ourselves and move away from Vikriti
· Discussed 8 inner qualities,such as kindness, charity etc. as part of our samskaras
· The children then performed Sarswathi Poja at the temple under the guidance of the priest
· We have no BV next. But we have CORD walkathon on Oct. 28th. Please bring the children to Mercer County Park at 9.45 AM for the walkathon
