Our first class in 2016 and we are so blessed to have a unique and a beautiful event with Swami Ji- The Bhiksha Vandanam. The event went so well and all of us are very,very happy! Thanks to every parent and child of Dhairyam family for joining us and made this event a big success. We all Thank Vikram's family for hosting this beautiful event at their home :)
Today we assembled at our classrooms at 9.30, since there was no cafeteria available. We did the regular prayers and then moved on to our lessons. We started off with chanting Hanuman Chalisa.
Hanuman Ji the glorious.
- By working hard and using whatever gifts given by God- one become glorious.
- Hanuman JI performed superhuman deeds and expected no rewards from Rama. This made the Lord always indebted to Hanuman JI.
We saw verse 13,14,15 and 16 today.
The meanings of these verses are-
13. Even the Seshanaaga, the 1000 headed serpent sings Hanuman Ji's glories in all His 1000 mouths. These are not enough to sing hanuman Ji's glories. There is no end to sing Hanuman Ji's praises.
Story- We understood the concept of finding fault is more easier than appraising anyone through a story of a painting exhibition.
Activity1- We wrote down what are the nice things we have done and to whom in our notebook.
Activity2- Say/Praise something nice about another kid in the class.
14 and 15- The Great sages like Sanaka and others, Brahma Ji, Seshanaaga, Naaradha and Goddess Saradha, Yama, Kubera, 8 guardians of the directions, Poets and scholars have not been able to praise Hanuman JI adequately.
Story enforcing using God given rewards to Humans- Parts of the body and utilize them with all hardwork to gain fame and popularity and get a glorified spot in the world.
Hanuman The wise Minister.
16. Hanuman JI helped Sugrivain regaining Lost Kingdom, by making him meet Lord Rama.
- Hanuman Ji wisely advised Sugriva to find more details about Rama just by meeting Him.
- Sugriva hid in Risyamuka mountain after his kingdom of Kishkintha was taken by his brother Vali.
Story- Good company fetches good things always. Story of 2 parrots- one in a tribal group who catch humans and eat them. Another parrot with Sages who always tries to protect anyone lost in the woods with food and shelter. The parrot in the good company is very friendlier and nice to all, but the parrot in the tribal group was always in a fighting mode.
Always try to be in the company of good people to get good thoughts and to do good deeds.
We practiced na Karmana, Vedic aarthi chanting to welcome Swami JI before the Bhiksha and also practiced chanting Guru Stotram.
