Rashmi Aunty and Prajna didi:
We are doing our initial prayers, meditation and chanting very well. Parents, please encourage them to practice their shlokas regularly.
We revisited the meaning of the hanumaan shloka we are learning. We have already learnt the meaning of a few of the words and the children did remember all of them! Good going kids!! We moved on to learn the meaning of 2 more words today, with illustrations through stories. We learnt that 'dhairyam' means Courage. Also, we learnt 'nirbhayatvam' means fearlessness. We learnt that these two words are supportive to each other. When we become fearless, we automatically become courageous! We heard 4 different stories to establish how these aspects help us to lead a life of honesty and righteousness. The brainstorming session was quite interesting. We went on to discuss about daily issues like bullying, etc and how we have to face such situations with courage.
We then finished off with our ending prayers and proceeded to the auditorium for aarati and pledge. We will see you all next week. In the meanwhile, do not forget to register yourself for the CORD walkathon which is on the 28th. The link to register is available above, in the announcements section.
See you soon!
