HARI OM Parents,
Our session started with chanting OM 3 times and reciting opening prayers of,
- Sahana Vavatu
- Vakratunda MahAkAya
- Saraswati Namsatubhyam
- Guru Brahma
Each sloka was read aloud by an individual kid, this way all of them will get a chance each week. We added KarAgre Vasathe Lakshmi and Shuklambaradharam.... to the above list.
We worked on getting perfect with the first stanza of Ganesha Pancharatnam.
MAHABHARATA
After having a quick recap of the last class, We watched the continuation of the video from when Ganga leaves King Santanu till the Swayamvara in Kashi. We again ended this part with a quiz. KIds participated very actively. The story of what we covered so far is in the attached powerpoint.
SAINTS OF INDIA
The second book in our curriculum apart from Mahabharata is, India the sacred land - Saints of India. We started this book with an introduction about who a saint is, why India is considered sacred and also Guru Parampara. We initiated our talk about the saints with Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya. We came half way through his biography and will finish the rest in our next class.
Please find attached the powerpoint of the same.
BHAGAVAD GITA
We recited verses 39, 40 under Swamiji's guidance and would appreciate it if you could make them practice at home.
We concluded our class with Aarti and Pledge led by one of the kids.
