October 6th, class review (Nirmala and Lakshmi Aunty)

Hari Om,
    We reviewed the Sankashtnashna Ganesh sthothra that we finished previous week. The children have the printouts in their binders, so you can ask them to sing this song any time. We are now learning Achutham Kesavam. This sings the praise of the Lord Narayana in his various forms. It is in the old my Prayers book (page 79). The children would be happy to sing this song as well.

We have now started teaching the children the geeta chapter 14. Every year in Spring the balvihar children participate in free competition for reciting the verses from memory. There are various tools available to learn these verses.
  1. website   http://www.geetachanting.net/bvg14v01-10/

  2. Handbook and printouts in the binder

 3. Youtube. Bramhmananda audio.

The children learnt the first verse of the chapter 14 in class.Please help them practice at home.

We then learnt about Krishana and the many pranks he plays on the villagers. The children thoroughly enjoyed the story of Krishna stealing butter and sharing with the monkeys. We shared the story of asuras and rakshasa like Vatsaasura, Bakaasura, Aghaasura, sent by Kamsa to kill little Krishna. We learnt of Brahma ji's trick and how Krishna taught the creator a valuable lesson in humility. We ended with the Dhenukasura's vadham.

We look forward to seeing you all next week.
Pranam
