Hari Om! Parents
Namaskar and greetings
It was a great pleasure to welcome back all the kids including some new kids to the opening class of Balavihar Friday 4th grade session. At the outset, we would like to extend our thanks to all of you parents for making the session smooth with minimal technical issues. All the kids were very familiar with zoom and your help in getting them set up before the class started certainly helped. Thank you once again.
We started the class with chanting the daily prayers and jumped right into the introductions. We asked the kids to introduce themselves, what school they go to and if they remember what they learned from in grade 3 balavihar and what they did in summer. The kids were very responsive, although a few remembered details of what they learned in grade 3rd which was perfectly understandable.
We discussed what we will teach during the year, the stories of little Krishna - Bala Bhagvatham - Sri Krishna Leelas. Krishna Leelas are the subject of the 10th canto of Srimad Bhagavatham by sage Vyasa. The other book and stories we will cover during the year is "My 24 Teachers/ Perceptors" or Avadhoota Gita which is the 11 the canto of Srimad Bhagavatham.
Besides the above two stories, the kids will also learn Krishnashtakam, Damodara Stotram, Bhagavad Gita Chapter verses 38 through 72After the introduction the kids practised how to pronounce in sanskrit with the help of a video and it was almost time to join the parents zoom session and aarti. Starting next week we plan to start the Bala bhagavatam - Sri Krishna Leelas 10th canto of Srimad Bhagavatam.
Please ensure that your kids have a notebook, pencil, Bala bhagavatham text book and My daily prayers with them before they join the zoom session.
Until next week
Unto him our best
Shivram & Meena
