Hari Om Parents!
With Ram Mandir inauguration & Ram Lalla's Pran Pratishtha on 22nd Jan 2024, we started the conversation on this great auspicious event to bring the knowledge of the past and why this is important for every Indian/Hindus to understand.
Discussed the below points:
Ayodhya history back dated 500 years. How Babri mosque was built and subsequent struggles by Hindus to regain the place for Ram's temple until 2019 Supreme Court declared to be the site for Ram's temple based on evidence.
Discussed about various religious that existed or even today found in India. Next country where we can see this diversity of religions is here in US.
Talked about the Ram temple significance and how Dharma is established by building the temple for the devotee of the Rama all around the world in his birthplace. Rama is a symbol of Dharma who lived his entire life doing the righteous act. He was an idle king who established dharma in every single aspect throughout his lifetime.
Discussed how money was raised for Ram Mandir and how much was it? Rupee 3600 crores. Kids also did a math to convert Rupee to Dollar to get the feel of the donations came to raise the Mandir.
Watched an animation video of the temple construction with details on site evacuation and how the build up temple area will be constructed.
Following that we watched the latest Ram Mandir which was ready for the inauguration with flower decorations.
Encouraged the kids to watch the pran pratishtha.
Reminded the kids to complete the reading on the last week assignments on parvas from Mahabharata.
Discussed about the monthly program for our class on 19th May. We will discuss more on that in the following classes.
