February 3, 2019 - Toddler / PreK (AM Sunday)


Hari Om Parents,

Our class started with chanting 3 Om's 
 followed by opening prayers
            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 then said our  shlokas:- 
       1) Vakratunda Mahaakaaya   
            sooryakoti samaprabha 
            nirvighnam kurume deva   
            sarva karyeshu sarvada
       
         2)  sarasvati namastubhyam
            varade kāmarūpini
            vidyārambham kariṣyāmi
            siddhir bhavatu me sadā
       
We did our Yoga stretches and poses and after
that we did our  bhajans. 
        Acyutaḿ Keśavaḿ Rāma Nārāyaṇaḿ
       Kṛṣṇa Dāmodaraḿ Vāsudevaḿ Harim
       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!

 After singing bhajans,  we played our meditation game and the   kids counted the pebbles from  1 to 20 in english and sanskrit.

We all enjoyed the story  " Ant and the Dove " and learned that every good deed we do for others will come back to us.
And following the story we did the Ant craft which the kids really enjoyed.

In the end of the class, we were rehearsing for our stage performance on Feb 10th.  


Announcements:
1)  On Saturday 9th we will do a full costume rehearsal at  12.30 in the ashram.  
2)  We will not have our (Prek /Toddler AM) balvihar session  on Feb10th   as we all will meet that day at 1.30pm for our  stage performance.
