Hari Om Parents,
Please find the below updates from our class on Friday Jan 12th and Jan 26th, 2024.
Class began with Opening Prayers - 3 OMs, followed by the chanting of Sahana Vavatu. Then invoked the blessings of Lord Ganesha, Goddess Saraswati and all our Gurus, by chanting..
Śri Ganeshaya Namah!
Śhri Saraswathyai Namah!
Śhri Sad-Gurubhyo Namah!
Shlokas: ( My Prayers Book)
We recited the Daily Prayers ( page#11) in the order of:
• Karagre Vasate
• Samudra Vasane
• Gange cha Yamune
• Sarasvati Namastubhyam
• Brahmaarpanam
• Shubham Karoti
• Kara-charana-krtam vak
- As per our curriculum, we proceeded to learn the Devi Dhyana Shloka (page #39). We recited Mahalakshmi Ashtakam (page 40) all verses in the class. We then continued with our Mahabharata review. We learnt to chant the Mahishasuramardini Stotram (verses 1-7).
Kindly encourage the kids to memorize these and recite them at appropriate times throughout the day. Thus instilling in them, not just the learning part but to put all that they learn, into practice in their daily routine.
Class Activities:
- We will be having our monthly program on March 1st, 2024. Our class will be performing a mini play on the stage. The children have been working on their monologue. Please have them complete the monologue and address any comments and suggestions that we had provided. Also have them memorize the monologue.
- During the class on Jan 26th, the children were divided into 2 groups and they were given worksheets on Mahabharata. We will be reviewing the answers to the worksheets in the next class.
Aarathi: We assembled in the main prayer hall for aarathi and concluding prayers. On Jan 26th, the first grade children performed their monthly program. It was a wonderful performance on Ramayana.
Please have the children do their daily prayers regularly and also practice the ślokas and Gita chanting.
Thank you! See you back on Friday Feb 2nd, 2024.Pranāms,
