Hari OM
Welcome to week 2 of our zoom class at Chinmaya Vrindavan.
Prayer time:
We started our class with our opening prayers "Sahanaavathu" followed by Vakrathunda Mahakaya, Saraswathi Namsthubhyam, Guru Brahma and Buddhir balam.
Yoga time:
We tried some yoga poses including eye exercises.
Bhagvatham Time:
We reviewed why God takes the form of Avatara and watched a video on Avataras of Vishnu.
God takes an avatara to teach us a lesson.
God takes an avatara to save someone nice.
God takes an avatara to remove evil.
Story Time:
How was Bhagavatham written?
Shaunaka Rishi lived in nimisharanya with his disciples . One day Sutaji a learned Rishi visited them.
All the students and the teacher paid respects to Sutaji and gathered around him. Saunaka Rishi asked a question to Sutaji so that the students could benefit.
Saunaka Rishi asked "please tell us how can a person become good and happy forever". Sutaji replied that he would love to and further he continued to state that it is given in a poem written by Sri Veda Vyasa called "Bhagavatam" which has 18,000 verses.
In the next class we are going to share how Bhagavatam was written.

Kids were so excited to do this project. We learnt to draw Ganesha by connecting the dots.
