Today we started the class with our usual prayers and shlokas
We practiced verses 47-53 of the BhagwadGita. As you all know we have only 2 weeks until the recitation. Please please have your kids practice the shlokas at home
We also introduced the character of Sage Agastya in our Ramayana lessons. We talked about his greatness and power and heard and saw several stories that portray the same,
We learnt on how he helped with bringing a balance on earth when all of the residents southern part of India left to the Northern Himalayan ranges to witness the marriage of Shiva and Parvathi. The Indian subcontinent was lopsided because of this, and Sage Agastya was appointed by Lord Shiva to stay back in S.India to balance the weight. Such was his power.
We also heard about how he brought about peace to the sages from the horrific practices of Demons Vathapi and Ilvala. And how he was able to reduce the size of the ever growing Vindhya mountains.
Kids colored the page that was relevant to todays lessons. We concluded the class with memorizing 39 and 40 verses of Chapter 2 BhagwadGita followed by the pledge.
Thank You
