Hari Om! Parents,
We started our class by chanting the beginning prayers.
Pujya Swamiji had suggested we watch the 3 videos on Samskaras from the Upanishad Ganga series. It is based on our curriculum. Thank you Swamiji!
Watched the 3 videos based on Samskaras.
Discussed, just like planting healthy seeds gives a healthy crop, so also following a dharmic life from our early life based on Hindu scriptures makes our mind healthy and takes us closer to the Lord.
Vedas prescribe the following 16 Samskaras classified under the various Ashramas.
Under Bramhacharya Ashrama: Upanayanam, Samavartana
Under Grihasta Ashrama: Vivaha, Garbhadana, Pumsavana, Simantonnayanna, Jaatakarma,Namakarana, Nishkramana, Annaprasana, Cudakarma, Karnavedha, Vidyarambha
Under Vanaprastha Ashrama: Vanaprastha
Under Sanyasa Ashrama: Sanyasa, Antyeshti
Briefly discussed some of the important Samskaras. Discussed that every Samskara in Hindu culture is a big celebration.
The children then did their presentation. Each child spoke for 3 minutes on various topics like:
Karma and Karma phala, Dharma, Gunas, Ashramas, Varnas, Danam, etc.
These topics have been discussed through the year and it was nice to hear their perspective.
We had delicious snacks and a lot of fun.
Thank you parents for your cooperation throughout the year. We will miss your children dearly.
Our best wishes to them in all their future endeavors.
Have a great summer!
