Lakshmi and Nirmala's class
Hari Om,
We started our class with breathing exercises and our daily prayers.
We learned to chant and meaning of three verses of Govinda Damodara stotram (children were given copies of the stotram). After that we learned one verse from chapter 14 of the Bhagavad Gita. We have done up to verse 10 of this chapter. We have asked the children to memorize until verse 8 in the next 2 weeks.
We then went on to our Krishna stories from the Bhagavatam. Srinidhi helped us with the recap of the stories from the previous class. Today we did the story of Krishna and Balarama participating in the dhanur yagna and also their participation in the wrestling arena and their encounters with Kamsa's brave wrestlers. We then went on to tell the story of the end of Kamsa and Krishna meeting with his real parents.
Later we also did the story of Krishna and Balarama going to Sandeepany for their vedic studies. We then discussed the value 'Brahmin and Vedas' in our roadmap to Krishna.
Lastly some of the children did the dandiya dance in the class. The children had a lot of fun.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. See you in 2 weeks.
Pranams
