Hari Om Dear Families,
Here's this week's update.
Week 5 : 12 th Oct 2025 / 9:15am
This class was a shorter one because we were doing Saraswati Pooja in the Ashram.
Shlokas- We all chanted 'OM' 3 times followed by Shlokas 'Om Saha Navavatu' (pg 8 in My prayer book), 'Vakratunda Mahakaya' (pg 27), 'Saraswati Namastubhyam' (pg 12), 'Gurur Brahma Gurur Vishnu'.
After recapping the previous session's Ramayana story Chapters 3 and 4 we slowly moved forward to Chapter 5 and 6.
The story of Ramayana continued with young Lord Rama and Lakshmana accompanying Sage Vishwamitra for the protection of the Yajna from the Rakshasas.
When they were moving through the forest, they came across a lot of beautiful sights and Ashrams and then came to a patch where they encountered Tataka. We spoke about how even though Tataka was a woman, she was evil and the Sage advised Lord Rama to kill her.
When they came to Sage Vishwamitra's Ashram, the Yajna was in progress and on the last day of the Yajna, Rakshasas Maricha and Subahu with their army came to destroy the Yajna and Lord Rama killed Subahu but Maricha escaped.
We then watch a small video of the story we learned in the class.
Coloring and Likhita japa - Children did some coloring time in their Ramayan Coloring books and Likhita japa where they wrote 'Ram' and chanted it as they wrote.
Gita chanting - We all chanted the next verses of Chapter 15 of the Bhagwat Gita along with the video.
We all then performed the Saraswati pooja individually and attended the Arati and pledge.
Next BalaVihar class is Oct 26th, 2025.
