After some Yoga stretches, we did our meditation game and

We did two new bhajans:

Śrīdharaḿ Mādhavaḿ Gopīkā-Vallabhaḿ
Jānakī-Nāyakaḿ Rāmacandraḿ Bhaje
Khate Bhi Ram Kaho (action song)
Khathe bhi ram kaho ; peethe bhi ram kaho;
Sothe bhi Ram kaho Ram Ram Ram...
Ram Ram Ram, Ram Ram Ram, Ram Ram Ram!
Jumping bhi ram kaho running bhi ram kaho
Skipping bhi ram kaho Ram Ram Ram...
Ram Ram Ram, Ram Ram Ram, Ram Ram Ram!
With all our little ones request we also sang
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
Maha Ganapathe Namostuthe
Great God Ganapathi, I bow to Thee
We moved on to chanting the Bhagavad Gita : Chapter 18 verses 41, 42, 43, 44 and 45 from our handbook.
Our story for the week was The Honest Woodcutter and the kids enjoyed doing the Fairy craft.
We wrapped up our session with our closing prayers and moved to the temple for Aarthi.
