Hari Om,,
We started with Likhita japa and then went on to do our daily prayers.
We also completed Achutaashtakam today.
We then went on to complete 2 more verses of Chapter 14 from the Bhagavad Gita.
We did a recap of last week's class. A student did the same.
We then went on to tell the story how Akrura, the lord's devotee brings Krishna and others to Marthua from Vrindavan. On the way to Mathura when Akrura stops for doing his Sandhyavandanam, the lord gives him his divine vision. We said of how such things happen only when you love the lord dearly.
We then went on to tell the story of Krishna and Balarama walking in the streets of Mathura, they are met by different people, like the washerman, weaver, a garland maker and a girl taking sandalpaste to Kamsa.
Krishna rewards some of them because of their generosity and punishes some because of their arrogance.
We talked a little more about Trivakra, the hunchback girl. How her hunchback disappears when she offers her sandal paste to Krishna.
We finally talked about Puja, being another way to reach Krishna after discussing the other aspects to reach Krishna which we have discussed in previous classes.
Looking froward to seeing you children next week.
