Geeta Chanting:
Bhagavad Gita:
Review of verses 41 and 44.
Chanted 45 and 46 verses.
Please have kids practice the verses at home. Memorization skills at this age are very good. Every week we plan to send a video of kids recording to Gita Chanting team for the house to earn points for chanting. If parents have the individual recording of the kids chanting please send it to Gita team directly.
Our next full class is on November 4th. We will be having Gita chanting competition between girls and boys (this is motivating them to do better in class). Winning team will get a treat from the teachers.
Our swamiji's recordings which are a wonderful resource for learning are available at the following link.
