Welcome to Balavihar 2013-2014


Hari OM

Welcome to another exciting year of Balavihar! As you may know,this will be our last year in this location before we move to our very own ashram next fall.
Hanuman The Superman is our theme for this year. We will learn Hanumanji's eight attributes in the form of a beautiful shloka followed by an awesome art project . We will learn to recite Tulsidasji's famous Hanuman Chaleesa. It will soon become your child's favorite prayer.Side by side,we will visit many Hanuman stories showcasing his attributes.
   The Mission passionately believes that the teaching of the Bhagawad Geeta, especially at  young age purifies the mind, diction and prepares it to receive the wisdom in it. This year we will be learning to chant verses 1-15 of Chapter 14.
   In addition to chanting,stories,crafts,games, 2nd graders will learn to be good citizens of the world by sharing with those less fortunate. Over the holidays, we will participate in a  community service project.
 We have 2 sections in grade 2. One section has Madhuri aunty and Savita aunty and the other has Uma aunty and Prajna didi.
Parents,please register your children and support their regular, punctual attendance with all supplies needed for class.
