Hari om JCHYK parents,
This is our 2nd week of Balavihar this year. Our syllabus this year is Bhagavadgeeta chapters 7 thru 12 but we have noticed that the majority of the students have not yet gone through Chapters 1-6. We decided to spend a few weeks to refresh everyone through the first 6 six chapters before we proceed to Chapter 7.
We also noticed there were three students that started BV for the first time this year. Since they were brand new to the Chinmaya family we spent a few minutes welcoming them to the community and making them feel comfortable.
This week we covered the refresh of Chapter 1 and 2. Below are the areas we reviewed.
Chapter 1: This chapter is known as the Yoga of Arjuna's Grief.
- description of the battlefield
- Arjuna inner conflict about killing his relatives and teachers
Chapter 2: This chapter is known as the Yoga of Knowledge.
- duty to act - Dharma
- act without the desire for the fruit of the action - with equanimity
- act without attachment
- sadhana chatushtaya
looking forward to seeing the students next Sunday AM.
Om Shanti,
Rashmi & Kishore
