Dear Parents,
Hari Om
This week's class started with opening prayers and Hari Om game.
We did stretches and yoga and learnt a new yoga pose, the Lion pose. We then chanted our 3 chants:
ॐ श्री गणेशाय नमः
oṃ śrī gaṇeśāya namaḥ
ॐ श्री सरस्वत्यै नमः
oṃ śrī sarasvatyai namaḥ
ॐ श्री सत् गुरुभ्यो नमः
oṃ śrī sat gurubhyo namaḥ
We revised what we learned about Goddess Sarasvati and recited the 2 slokas - 'Karagre' and 'Sarasvati Namastubyam'.
We then recited the bhajan Jaya Jaya Devi which we had learned in the previous class. Children loved enacting the Great God Ganapathi(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.
We chanted Bhagavad Gita chapter 18 - 41st and 42nd slokas from our handbook. At home, please watch this video on youtube and practice the slokas.
We Played meditation game and revised the Sanskrit numbers.
We then attended the Saraswati pooja in the prayer hall.
