class on 3/13

Hari OM Dear parents and kids.

Our class started off as usual after the assembly with a very few children, but slowly we almost came closer to full strength with in a few minutes. This was because we sprang forward!!! (DLS)

We began with kids chanting a few random slokas and we are so proud of each of them! Great job kids!

We concluded our Hanuman chalisa. Now, this means we completed the prescribed curriculum for our grade. But yes, we still have to finish up some art works and many exciting stories and other activities.

We concluded the chalisa by learning the verses 33 through 40.
33. Singing Hanuman Ji's praise makes Lord Rama bless and relieves all miseries of previous births.

34. At the end of one's life, when one goes to the abode of Sri Rama. such person always remains a Hari Bhakta.

35. Even though a devotee does not think of any other deity but Sri hanuman, he will surely be blessed and enjoy happiness.

36. All miseries and torments will vanish when one remembers the brave Sri Hanuman.

37. Victory to you, Hanuman ji, who has control over His senses. Bless us with your grace as our Guru dev.

38. One who recites chalisa 100 times is released from earthly bondage or sorrows and there's no rebirth and will enjoy absolute bliss.

39. One who reads Hanuman Chalisa regularly, will attain perfection to which Lord Siva (Gauri's patidev) is the witness.

40. Tulasidasa,who wrote the chalisa is always a servant of Lord Rama and he prays that the Lord make his heart as Lords' place.

Final verse-
Son of the wind God, destroyer of all miseries and remover of all difficulties, Lord Hanuman is the embodiment and a symbol of auspiciousness. Hanuman Ji along with Rama, Sita and Lakshmana dwell in all devotees heart. Please stay in our hearts forever.

We read through 3 stories which talks about taking a vow and following it with pure mind and focus. This concentration and devotion leads to pure bhakti and takes closer to God.

Now that we are done with the texts, we will start with our pending art work and will try to finish up soon. So, kindly please send in pencils, erasers, crayons, markers, glue stick. We want all kids to have their own supplies. Also, there are a few kids who come to class with no snacks. Please pack a healthy nut free snack along. Thank you.

Please take a moment to sign up and participate in the Vasudhaiva kutumbakam program coming up at our Vrindavan ashram. 
Kindly refer to the pics for the homework and class happenings. Thanks.
Next class- 3/20

Regards
Dhairyam Teachers.
