Hari OM
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break.
Prayer time:
We started our class with our opening prayers "Sahanaavathu" followed by Vakrathunda Mahakaya, Saraswathi Namsthubhyam, Guru Brahma, and Buddhir balam.
Crafts time:
Kids drew Peacock feather and wrote what they like about Krishna. The art project's theme being 'Krishna as our friend'.
Bhagvatham Time:
Quick recap-
Sage Kashyap's story showed us, "As we Sow, so shall we Reap". We talked about the importance of having the attitude of gratitude to all who make our lives comfortable. Hiranyaksha's story gave us the lesson that it is very bad to be arrogant.
Story Time:
Jaya and Vijaya were the royal gate keepers of the abode of Maha Vishnu. One day Brahmaji's four sons, the Sanatkumaras came there to see Maha Vishnu. The Sanatkumaras, though they were very old they looked only like 5 year old kids. They were very wise. They didn't dress very attractive. Seeing them not so attractive and well dressed, Jaya and Vijaya didn't let them go in and see Maha Vishnu. They were filled with pride and arrogance that they failed to recognize the greatness of the sages. The Sanatkumaras felt offended and spelled a curse on the two that they will be descending on earth as terrible asuras. Immdiately Jaya and Vijaya understood their mistake and asked for forgiveness. Because of this curse, they were born to Diti as Hirayaaksha and Hirayanyakashipu.
Moral of the Tale:
If we do wrong actions, we still have to face the consequences even if we have love and devotion to the Lord.
