Lakshmi and Nirmala's class
Hari Om,
Today we started our breathing exercises and our beginning prayers.
We then chanted bhadram karne bhih and trayambakam yajamahe...
Later the children chanted the Bhagavad Gita, 14th chapter by threes. We learned the 20th verse today, and then chanted the whole chapter as a class. The registration for the Gita competition is open. Please register for the same online and also continue practice at home.
We then went on to our book 'The 24 preceptors'. We recapped the 2 teachers from the last class. They were pigeon and python. Today we did 6 teachers. They are the ocean, moth, deer, honey bee, elephant and fish. The ocean teaches us to be calm always whatever be the situation. We learned ways for us to be calm always. The children participated nicely. The next 5 teachers teach us to control our 5 senses. We did a few stories teaching us great values. We talked about the the sage Eknath from Maharashtra.
We are planning for our seva project on March 16th. Please make sure the children be present. It's going to be fun.
Pranams
