Hari Om Parents!

Welcome to 2019-2020 Balavihar

We started our class with opening prayers. We began with introductions and talked about summer break.
As a class, we discussed about festivals, and more importantly about the recent festival, Ganesha Chaturthi. Kids learnt about the significance of this festival and how it is celebrated among families. Few kids chanted the Ganesha slokas that they were familiar with. We narrated a story of Ganesha going to Kubera's party. This story is about how Ganesha eats everything at Kudera's party to teach a lesson to Kubera. Kids summarized  that being humble and treating one another with love & respect  is very important. Also Ganesha accepts whatever food we give with love and devotion - quantity doesnt matter.
Next week we will start Bala Bhagavatam stories, Gita Chanting and Guru Stotram. Time permitting we may do likhita japa.

Balavihar handbooks were handed out in class. Please make sure that your child brings it to every class along with  a pencil/pen, notebook(for Likita Japa) & Bala Bhagavatam book( available in the book store).
Looking forward to seeing the kids next week.
