Class Review (Section 1) 12/09/2012

Hari Om,
    We had some interesting discussions in class today. Some of the questions were about mortality and immortality, about many Gods, Supreme God, concept of becoming one with God, does that mean we enter God's body? It was like a tap had been opened in the class and water of questions flowed out from almost every child.

  We started the class in the usual manner with likitha japa and opening prayers. We then moved to the Govinda Damodra stotram. We are learning verses 11 and 12 in geeta. We are happy to note that some of the children have memorized upto verse 4.

During Krishna Story time we went over the divine vision offered to Akrura when he offered mid afternoon prayers in the shores of the Mandakini river . We went over the miracles Krishna performed in Mathura. Kamsa ' s bad dreams and night mares.

The next day  Krishna and Balarama arrived at the stadium for the wrestling contest. Krishna kills the  elephant KuvalAyapida who is at entrance waiting to stamp the brothers. We ended the chapter with Krishna killing Kamsa. Ugrasena is reinstated as the king. Vasudeva and Devaki meet their son. 

We hope to quiz the children next week. Please help them prepare.
Thanks
