Hari Om Parents,
Below is the update from our class grade 6 Sunday AM this week.
12th January 2020 / 9:15AM
Shlokas
We started with regular opening prayers. We reviewed verses of Guru Sthothram- each kid chanted one verse and took turns to complete the stotram. The last verse'Tvameva matha' was chanted by all the children.
Mahabharata- our lesson
We are at the war scenario —completed days 5 through 10 today.
*Vyuhas we saw so far were krauncha, makara, vajra,eagle and crescent.
*Kaurava army being crushed by Arjuna and Bhima.
*Bhima targeting Duryodhana's brothers- Bhima's rage towards Kauravas.
*Duryodhana tries to hurt Bhima
*Drstadhyumna saves Bhima
*Satyaki takes on Bhurisravas
*Sikhandi fights Bhagadatta
*Iravan (Arjuna and Ulloopi's son is killed)
*Ghatotkacha is fierceful
*Day 10- Shikandi to lead the army and to face Bhisma
*Pandavas use Shikandi as a weapon to attack Bhishma.
*Arjuna's arrows get through Bhisma's body cracking his armor- the weight of the innumerable arrows pushes Bhisma down and he falls on to a bed of arrows.
*Arjuna shoots arrows to cushion Bhisma's head to rest upon. He shoots another arrow on the ground to make a fountain of water to quench Bhishma's thirst.
(The EPIC moment of Mahabharata— the fall of the mightiest and greatest hero)
*Bhisma lays on the bed of arrows until Uttarayana
*Karna's entry.
