HariOm Every one!
First let us thank you for enrolling your kids in Balvihar and welcome to our blog. We are planning to update this blog every week, giving highlights of what we taught and learnt in that week's class. Yes I said "learnt" :) "One who dares to teach should never cease to learn". Today was our third session and should say that we have a bunch of curious and brainy kids in our class. We started our class with breathing exercises and chanting Om 3 times. We did our morning prayers and learnt Sree Ganapati Stotram. We gave handout to kids, please ask them to practice and bring the sheets to class.Click here for the text and audio version
We revised what was taught in previous 2 sessions ( Kali yuga, How we should avoid the bad influences of Kali yuga -- by controlling anger and not using bad words) .
