Hari Om Parents,

            OM saha nāvavatu
            saha nau bhunaktu
            saha vīryam karavāvahai
            tejasvināvadhītamastu
            mā vidviṣāvahai
            OM śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ
and chanted 
    Om Sri Ganeshaya namaha, 
    Om Sri Saraswathye namaha, 
    Om Sri Sat Gurubyoh namaha

We chanted  the following three shlokas:- 
       1) Vakratunda Mahaakaaya   
            sooryakoti samaprabha 
            nirvighnam kurume deva   
            sarva karyeshu sarvada

            gurūr dev maheśwaraḥ
            gurūreva parambrahmā  
            tasmai śri gurave namaḥ

We did our Yoga stretches and poses and  after 
that did our  bhajans.

       Śrīdharaḿ Mādhavaḿ Gopīkā-Vallabhaḿ

  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!
      Nachete bhi ram kaho  Therte bhi  ram kaho
      Skipping bhi ram kaho Ram Ram Ram...
      Ram Ram Ram, Ram Ram Ram, Ram Ram Ram!

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

 After bhajans we played our meditation game and the  kids enjoy  counting Sanskrit numbers from 1 to 20.

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 " Dog and the bone " and for craft the kids did a Dog Puppet. 

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