Nov 18, 2018 - PreK (AM Sunday)

Hari Om Parents,

Below is the summary for Nov 18th Sunday morning session. 

 Started the class chanting three Om's and 3 chants

Om Sri Ganeshaya namaha, Om Sri Saraswathye namaha,  Om Sri Sat Gurubyoh namaha

 followed by Sahana vavatu. 

            OM saha nāvavatu
            saha nau bhunaktu
            saha vīryam karavāvahai
            tejasvināvadhītamastu
            mā vidviṣāvahai
            OM śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ

  
We chanted  the following three shlokas:- 

       1)   sarasvati namastubhyaṃ 

              varade kāmarūpiṇi ।

             vidyārambhaṃ kariṣyāmi 

             siddhirbhavatu me sadā ॥

      2)   karãgre vasate lakshmīḥ, 

            karamūle sarasvatī 

            karamadhye tu govindaḥ,

            prabhāte karadarśanam 

     3)    brahmārpaṇaṃ brahma havir 

             brahmāgnau brahmaṇā hutam ।

             brahmaiva tena gantavyaṃ

             brahmakarmasamādhinā ॥

After some Yoga stretches and poses we played our meditation game and

 revised the Sanskrit numbers from  1 to 15.

We then recited the Hanuman bhajans 

            aanjaneya veera hanumantha shoora

            vaayuu kumaara vaanara veera

            mahaanubhaava jaya hanumantha

            sree raam jaya raam jaya jaya raam

            seetaaraam jaya jaya jaya raam

Great God Hanumanji, I bow to Thee(Action Song)

            Great God Hanumanji, I bow to Thee,

            Monkey faced One, I bow to Thee

            Delight of Lord Rama, I take refuge in thee

            Brave and strong son of Anjani

            Infinite Om, Oh I bow to Thee

            You fight all evil and win Victory

We moved on to chanting the Bhagavad Gita : Chapter 18 -  41, 42 and 43rd shloka from our handbook.

This week we learnt the names of different colors in Sanskrit. The kids enjoyed looking for colors in the classroom and repeating it in sanskrit.

Our  story for this week was Soup Stone  which was all about sharing whatever we have  and the kids enjoyed sticking all the vegetables in our Soup Pot craft. 

We wrapped up our session with our closing prayers and moved to the temple for Aarthi.

No Bala Vihar for the next two weekends.  Have a nice Thanksgiving break.  Looking forward to see everyone in December.

 🙏
