Hari om everyone,
We started the class with the regular geeta dhyaanam and chapter 1 chanting. We learnt until verse 21. Below are the recordings for practice.
Heading into the winter break and being the end of the year, we had only 8 students in class. They said they were very sad that the absentees will miss all the wisdom we would be sharing without them in class! So..., they convinced us that we should all play charades! 
The generous teachers that we are, we yielded and played a few rounds of charades with different themes. They were Hollywood movies, Disney movies, Disney characters, even characters from our puraaNas and itihaasas (of course! When we are at Bala Vihar, how can we ignore that?!) We all had an amazing time and missed those that were absent. We understand that many had headed out for their vacations already since we are getting a longer break this year.


In the meanwhile, there is a get-together for current high-schoolers with CHYKs who graduated from Chinmaya Vrindavan Bala Vihar at the ashram, on Dec 29th, Sunday at 6.00 pm.
Below is the evite link for Alumni meeting on Dec 29th -

This get-together is for all Chinmaya Vrindavan Alumni. Even if they are not CHYKs. Please spread the word and motivate all ex-Bala Vihar kids to attend. Lots of fun activities are planned.
Will take leave for this year on a happy note and wishing you all a fantastic New Year with 20/20 vision (that was a PJ
).

Happy New Year 2020!
Regards,
Rashmi and Kishore.
