May 16, 2021 - Grade 2 (Sunday AM)

Hari om parents,

      Hope all of you are doing well. Here is the summary of our class - 
1. We started our class with 3 OM's and the regular shlokas for Lord Ganesha, Devi Saraswati & Our Guru.
2. We then chanted the Dhyaan shlok and turned it into a game of charades. It was lots of fun, kids acting out the quality of Hanumanji for their friends. 
3.Hanuman Chalisa - We continued further with meanings of Chaupai -
  *Aur Manorath...  phala pavai.

You bless everyone who seeks your grace & grant in large measure all that one wants and also grant one the full fruit of life. In this chaupai Tulasidas ji says that Hanumanji fulfills all of our desires, with His blessings all of our jobs will be accomplished.

*Charo jug... jagat ujiyara.

Your Glory spreads over the four Yugas and your Fame radiates all over the world. Shree Hanuman ji's glory is eternal. 

*Sadhu Sant ...Rama Dulare.

You are the protector of the righteous and destroyer of the wicked. You are very dear to Lord Rama. Hanuman ji is the protector of saints and sages, and destroyer of demons & beloved of Sri Rama.

*Ashta Siddhi... Janki mata.

Hanuman Ji went to Lanka to find Mother Sita & he gave her the news that Lord Rama was coming to rescue her, her joy knew no bounds. Mother Janki, the mother of the universe, showered her blessings on you & gave you the boon that you may grant 8 siddhis (the eightfold supernatural powers) and 9 wealths to anyone you like. However, the greatest wealth that  Hanumanji gives us is love for Lord Rama. Once we have that oh, we do not need any other wealth.

*Rama Rasayana.. ke dasa.

The elixir(quick magical cure) of devotion to Lord Rama is with you, who always stays at the feet of Lord Rama as his servant (with utmost humility).

*Tumhare bhjan .. dukha bisaravai.

Singing your praise makes Lord Rama bless and relieve one of all miseries of previous births. Lord Rama is happy when people praise Hanumanji. So, this is the best way to please Lord Rama. One who worships Hanumanji will have no sorrows. He will forget sorrows not only of this life but also of all past lives. Meaning, he will be happy forever.

*Anta kaal.. haribhakta kahai.

The end of one's life when someone goes to the Abode of Rama, such a person will live as a devotee of Hari (Shri Rama).

*Aur Devta... sukha karai.

Even though the devotee does not think of any other deity but Shri Hanuman, he will surely enjoy all happiness. Offering prayers to Hanuman ji relieves us of all pain and we become happy. What happens when we pray? We get rid of all of our bad thoughts and we become happy. 

4. Movie time - https://youtu.be/7dbYyXom6DA

5. Ended our class with closing prayers. 


  See you all next week @9;15! Take care, everyone.
