Hari Om!
Here is the update for the last class.
Stotram: We chanted the Devi dhyana shloka and learnt upto verse 5 of Mahishasuramardini stotram.
Mahabharata: The war begins. On Day One, the Pandavas suffer heavy losses at the hands of Bhishma, losing Uttarakumara. Yudhishtra is pained at this loss. On Day Two, Arjuna chooses the Krauncha vyuha and Bhishma the eagle formation. Drona and Drishtadyumna face off and Drona emerges victorious. The roles were reversed on this day and the Kaurava army suffered heavy damage at the hands of the Pandava army. On Day Three, Bhishma attacked the Pandava army with renewed vigor and used celestial weapons. Arjuna was unable to prevent him from demolishing the Pandavas' army and this infuriated Krishna. Despite promising to never raise a weapon and fight in the war, Krishna picked up a chariot wheel and proceeded towards Bhishma ostensibly to stop him from killing off the Pandava army. Seeing this form of Krishna, Bhishma smilingly welcomed him, but Arjuna begged him to come back and be his charioteer. He promised Krishna to do his utmost to prevent Bhishma from causing further damage. He managed to hold off the Kaurava assault and keep the Pandava army victorious that day.
Bhagavad Gita: We learnt up to verse 14 today, please have the children practice the verses at home.

Abhirami Shrinivas and Keerthi Kobla
