Nirmala and Lakshmi's class
Feb. 2nd 2014
Hari Om,
We started our class with the breathing exercises and the prayers.
We then chanted the Govinda Damodara stotram. Today we started to learn a new prayer Bhadram Karnebhih..... This is a vedic chant. We are also learning the meaning of the prayer. The prayer is on Page 52 of the My Prayers book.
We also learned the next verse ( Verse 17) from the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 14. Today we asked the children to chant on their own. They did a good job. Please make the children practice the same at home.
We then did a recap of last week's class. Last week we had talked about the 3 teachers from the book 'The 24 Preceptors'. Today we learned about the next 2 teachers which are water and fire. Please ask the children to read the book at home. We did a few stories too, to discuss values. Two of the stories were from the lives of Gautam Buddha and Swami Tapovan. The values discussed today were purity of body and mind, faith and not to hoard. We will continue with our next 2 teachers next week.
Pranams and Hari Om!
