Nirmala and Lakshmi's class Dec. 8th 2013
Hari Om,
We started with our breathing exercises and our beginning prayers. We also 2 more new verses of Govinda Damodara Stotram. So we now we have completed 4 verses of the same. Finally we learned 2 new verses from Chapter 14 of the Bhagavad Gita. We have completed up to verse 10. Every Bal Vihar class we do chant and practice all the previous verses. We would like the children to practice at home.
Then we went on to the stories of Lord Krishna. We did a recap of the stories from the previous class. Then we learned about how the lord married Rukmini. Also how the lord killed Jarasandha, Mura and Narakasura and rid the earth of many asuras. We then went to tell the famous story of Sudama and Krishna. We talked of material wealth and spiritual wealth based on this story. The children really loved that story. Finally we told the story of the lord returning to his heavenly abode after completing his work on the earth. We reminded the children of King Parikshit, and the beginning of the Dashavatars and how the king became one with the lord.
The children have been really enjoying all the stories of Lord Krishna and we have also enjoyed telling the stories.We would highly encourage the children to read the Bala Bhagavatam book. The children also promised they would.
Next week will be the last class for this year. We are going to do some fun stuff and are looking forward to it.
See you next week.
Pranams
