Bhagvatham Time:
Quick recap-
sage Rushabha
Story Time:
King Bharata
king bharata son of sage Rushanba, after being a good king, came to a forest to meditate. While meditating, he saw a fawn (baby deer) drowning in a river. He saved it. But then, he got so attached to the deer that he even forgot his meditation. So, he was born as a deer in his next birth. He regretted his actions and wanted to get back to meditation. He was born as a human being in his following birth and he constantly meditated on the Lord. He achieved mokSha eventually! This showed us the importance of human birth, for, an animal cannot meditate! Already blessed with a human birth, it becomes our prime goal to meditate and work towards the higher goal!
Activity:
Kids learnt 4 verses of Madhurashtakam (English version).
They also had so much fun playing the word search game.
