Class Review- 4 Grade Section B - 02/03/2013 - Class Room # A108

Hari Om Readers!

We started our session with  breathing exercise ,chanting Om 3 times and morning prayers. We practiced Geeta chanting 17 verses. We recited Sree Ganapathi Stotram and  Sree Govinda Damodara Storam. Learnt the meaning of Damodara Stotram from verse 4th.

In the story time, since we completed our first book on Krishna Lila's, we moved on to the second book  "My 24 teachers" which was adapted from 11th chapter of Bhagavatam.  We listened to the story of the wandering saint "Dattareya" and king "Yadu". When Yadu asked the saint the secret of his happiness, Dattatreya said that he learnt his art of living happily from his 24 teachers. In this session we learnt about his first 4 teachers - Earth, Air, Space and water.
Earth - patience,forgiveness.
Air - Freedom, Focus, purity.
Space -no boundaries ,vast , unbroken
Water -purifies, cool, refreshing
We discussed the importance of the teacher. We are going to learn about all the 24 teachers , the elements of nature in coming sessions.

We ended our session with Arti and pledge.
See you all in our next Balavihar session on Feb 10th  2013 .
