Hari Om Dear Parents,
Here is an update of : Oct 29th 2021
We started our class with Likhita Japa and Opening Prayers.
Slokas :
Dhyana Slokas : Sri Rama Rama Rameti and Nilambhuja Shyamala Komalangam.
We went over BalaKhanda portion of Nama Ramayana. Kids repeated after us.
Ramayana
As Kaikeyi was instructing Rama to go to the forest, Dasartha looked helpless and completely shaken. Lakshmana was listening to the entire conversation from outside. Rama obliged immediately, took leave of Dasaratha and Kaikeyi and headed to Kaushalya's palace. Kaushalya was devastated upon hearing it. She cried and insisted that she would join Rama. Rama told her that it was her duty to be with Dasaratha and take good care of him. Lakshmana was furious and he vowed to take revenge upon Bharatha. He told Rama that he would stay by him and fight against everyone. Rama convinced him by saying that Bharata was their brother and that it was his Dharma to fulfill father's wishes.
Rama then went to Sitaji who was eagerly waiting for Rama to go the coronation ceremony. When Sitaji learnt about the events, she told Rama that it was her Dharma to follow Rama, take care of him; that she would live on fruits, sleep on the forest floor, walk the forest without fear. Rama gets convinced to take Sitaji and Lakshmana with him.
The three of them went to take leave of Dasaratha and Kaikeyi. Dasaratha instructed Sumantra to take them on a chariot with all the things that tehy would need in the forest. Kaikeyi heartlessly told Sumantra to not to take any comforts but just them. She handed over ascetic costume to be worn in the forest to all three of them. Dasaratha fell down as Rama left the palace and headed towards the chariot. The people of Ayodhya came to know of this dreadful event and left with Rama crying.
Activity :
We had Houses inauguration this week. We played a game of quiz with kids. The quiz was based on Ramayana/Mahabharata and included geography of India. Kids had fun playing with us.
The rest of the class was Houses inaugural event that kids joined over common zoom.

Our next class is on Nov 12th.
Thanks and Hari Om
