Dec 13, 2020 - Grade 1 (Sunday PM)

Dear Parents,

 

Hari Om! Below is a review of what was done. The takeaway was the message from Prince Rama to Prince Bharata that everything in life such as sadness and happiness is a play of fate. Having taken this human birth, we should be ready to face life and accept challenges. Please ensure to practice the slokas, bhajans and geeta chanting and come. The main request for parents is below. 

  • Please help your child to practice the Morning Prayer sloka, Guru sloka Verse 1,2, 3 and 14 (pag 61 - My Prayers book), Bhajans (Sri ram jaya ram, and Atma Nivasi ram). Recordings were shared on WhatsApp 
  • Please help your child practice verse of Bhagavad Geeta (Chapter 1,2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) - Recording sent on WhatsApp group and you can also practice each line separately (http://www.geetachanting.net/bvg02v01-10/ ) For Chapter verse 1-6, please see the Geeta Chanting links by Swamiji below
  • Please help your child to complete art work and share on WhatsApp. Please work with your child a little a day - That way it would be easier for them when they come back! 

 

Update: 

    • We did Om Chanting 3 times followed by Starting prayer and Guru Slokas
    • We covered how Prince Rama was living with Sita and his brother Lakshmana in Citrakuta forest
    • We also learnt of King Dasaratha's death and how Bharata was upset with his mom Kaikeyi for what she had done by sending Rama away for 14 years
    • We also learnt how Rama meets his brother Bharata where Bharata tries to convince Rama to come back to rule Ayodhya after their father's death
    • We learnt how Sage Vasistha shared a clever suggestion, where Bharata would act as Rama's representative and rule Ayodhya in Rama's absence.
    • We learnt how Prince Rama, Sita and Lakshmana met multiple sages namely Sage Atri, Sarabhanga and Sutiksna.
    • Also, the story of the demon Viradha's curse lifted by Prince Rama's feet touching his chest. Viradha went back to his form as a Gandharva. 
    • Children also practiced a new yoga pose as a butterfly other than tree pose.  
    • We reviewed Geeta Chanting verse 5 and 6
    • We wrapped up with our closing prayers, aarti and pledge

See you soon!

 

Best regards,

Priya and Aruna
