Hari OM Parents!
I hope you are all doing well.
Please see the summary of Week 3 - 10/03/2021 class below:
We started the class with OM chanting & opening prayers (Om Saha Navavatu).
We did a recap of Hanumanji's values and asked the kids to explain 'Buddih', and what it means to them.
We recited Dyana Shloka together as a class, one word at a time.
We then discussed 'Balam' in length, and talked about both mental and physical strength.
We watched a video on 'Bhima's arrogance', and discussed the importance of mental strength!
We also discussed Hanumanji's physical strength where he carries the Sanjeevani mountain to rescue Lakshmana.
Kids had fun, when we began our work on Hanumanji's backbone project.
We concluded our class with Gita chanting, Aarthi & Pledge.

We chanted Dyana Shloka and it was amazing to see the kids chant with a little help!
We did a recap of Hanumanji's values and talked about 'Buddih' and 'Balam'.
We moved onto the next value 'Yasas', and explained the same by talking about famous people (Pujya Gurudev Chinmayananda Ji, Mahatma Gandhi, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King)
We explained the attributes such as good habits, goals, hard work, focus and perseverance that are necessary to achieve fame.
We also talked about what they wanted to become when they grow up and the steps they have to take to achieve their goals.
We continued to work on our Backbone project, which is a great way to remind the kids & enforce the values we have learnt so far!
