Hari OM Parents
Here is the summary of what we covered in class today:
1. We started the class with the Opening prayers. We chanted Om three times and then chanted "Sahana vavatu".
2. We chanted the Vakratunda Mahakaya shloka followed by Saraswathi Namasthubyam and Guru Brahma Guru Vishnu
3. We went to cover the Akhanda Mandalakaram shloka and then introduced the next Shloka - Agnana Thimirandhasya .
4. After attendance we did a quick recap of story where Rama and Lakshmana are still in the forest after fighting with Marica and Subahu. They went and asked their Guru where they were headed next and Sage Viswamithra answered Mithila. Now on their way to Mithila they came across an ashram. Viswamithra explained that it belonged to Sage Gautama. He had a beautiful wife Ahalya. Once when he was away , Lord Indra came in disguise and tempted Ahalya. When Sage Gautama found out about it he cursed both Ahalya and Indra. Because of the curse Ahalya had turned into a stone who would only be released from Rama' s purifying touch. When Rama was in the ashram and he stopped on the stone it turned into the beautiful Ahalya.
5. We also did the Atmarama Bhajan and Gita chanting verses.
6. We played the iSpy game which the kids enjoyed a lot, after which we lined up to go to the prayer hall to do Aarti
Please do have them practice the shlokas , Bhajan and Gita chanting.
