Hari Om ! Parents , Happy New Year! We started the class by chanting three Om's , Sahana Vavathu, followed by Vakrathunda Mahakaya shloka . Next , we chanted daily prayers Karaagre vasate, Samudra Vasane devi , "Gangecha Yamune chaiyva" ,Brahmarpanam Brahma havir " and two bhajans on Ganesha and Sharade . We were learning a bhajan from past two to three weeks " Atma Rama Ananda Ramana" - most of the kids are singing very well . Please make the kids practice the shlokas and bhajans at home as well. Sharing the bhajan script and tune at the bottom of this email. We reviewed two more shlokas from Geeta Chapter 2. We have now covered until verse 46. We watched a short video and then played games in the last class . First , we watched the Aranya Kandam video. Then we had a gameshow by splitting the kids into 2 groups - and they were all very excited and everyone participated. We then left to watch the 9th grade monthly program.
Please encourage all of them to participate in the Storytelling contest this year on Jan 29th. You can register them at bit.ly/Storytelling22. Please check out all other House Events including Art and Shlokathon at www.chinmayavrindavan.org/HouseEvents.
