Hari Om Parents and Children!
Below is a summary of what we did yesterday, during our Sunday morning session.
- We started our class with our 3 Oms and 3 Chants listed below
Om Sri Ganeshaya namaha, Om Sri Saraswathye namaha, Om Sri Sat Gurubyoh namaha
- We did the following three shlokas:-
1) Vakratunda Mahaakaaya sooryakoti samaprabha nirvighnam kurume deva sarva karyeshu sarvada
2) karãgre vasate lakshmīḥ, karamūle sarasvatī karamadhye tu govindaḥ, prabhāte karadarśanam .
3) saraswati namastubhyam varade kAmarUpiNI vidyarambham karishyAmI siddhirbhavatume sadA
- We did our regular Yoga stretches and poses after which we did our meditation game. The kids are doing great learning to count the numbers in Sanskrit-- to ten and we will continue to build on that every week. We then sang our two bhajans.
1) Great God Ganapati (Action song)
Great God Ganapathi, I bow to Thee, Elephant faced One, I bow to Thee
Delight of Lord Shiva, I take refuge in Thee, O big bellied son of Mother Parvathi
Infinite Om, Oh I bow to Thee , You ride on your mouse and win Victory
2) jaya jaya devii, jaya jaya devii, durgaa devii sharaNam
jaya jaya devii, jaya jaya devii, durgaa devii sharaNamkanaka durgaa devii sharaNam, kanaka durga devii sharaNam
- We moved on to chanting the Bhagavad Gita : Chapter 18 41st and 42nd Shloka from our handbook.
- In our this week's session we heard the story of the Crow that uses his thinking powers and solves his problem to quench his thirst and then worked hard on our cute crows project.
- We wrapped up our session early and moved to the temple for House Assembly and closing prayers.
It is always a lot of fun interacting with all of our kids and hope all of you enjoyed our class as well.
