Hari Om everyone,
We did start the class with what did we do over weekend, discussed the seva day activities.
We did chant 3 oms and opening prayer.
we did pre cap that we learned till now.
Todays class we did cover Chapter 23 and 24.
Chapter 23
In this chapter we learned about:
-who was shabari.
-How did she feel after Saint Matanga passed away.
-Her strong dedication and desire to meet Lord Rama
-Lord Rama and lakshma come to her ashram while they were searching Sita.
-Shabri offered the fruits to them and than dies peacefully as she meets the Lord Rama.
Chapter 24
-In this chapter we learned
about how Rama and Lakshma visit vali and sugriva to help them find Sita.
Vali was brave and the king of Vanaras in kiskindha. Due to a misunderstanding both brothers were separated. Vali had banished sugriva from his kingdom.
When sugriva saw ram and lakshman approaching he thought vali must have send them to kill me, so he goes to Hanuman. Hanuman listens to both brothers and finds the truth.
He explains them i can take you to sugriva and he can help you .
other part we learned about the misunderstanding and other characters like
dundhubhi and mayavi
So told the story of both rakshas that were creating trouble and how vali killed them and how sugriva thought that his brother died while killing mayavi. so he started ruling the kingdom , one day vali comes back and gets mad on him and bannishes him. So he hides on Rysamuka mountain , thats the place where Vali cannot visit as he would die if he comes here.
We did ask kids how do you want to become like
Ram bharatha
Mayavi & Dhundhubhi
Vali and Sugriva.
By giving example and recapping the story kids gave their answers.
Rama lakshman keep moving ahead through the forest along the river Pampa
We did likhita japa for5 minutes.
We sang 2 prayers opening and closing prayers. we would have kids recite it at home as well.
Kids did color pages in the Bala Ramayan book
We played freeze dance with Veera Hanuman bhajan. kids loved it a lot.

With our Guru's blessings,
Kavita and Aastha
