Ms. Aparna presented the class overview at the Back to Bala Vihar event, while Mr. Sri conducted the regular class.The regular class resumed soon after Yoga and we had a guest teacher, Ms. Shantha who gave the children some practical tips on meditation and de-stressing as a daily practice.

The topic for the day was on divine glory and seeing divinity in our daily lives.

We referred to sloka from the Gita Chapter 10 verse 41

yad yad vibhutimat sattvam
srimad urjitam eva va
tat tad evavagaccha tvam
mama tejo-'msa-sambhavam

Translation: Whatever it is that is glorious, prosperous or powerful in any being, know that to be a manifestation of a part of My (Lord Krishna’s) splendor.

We will continue to elaborate on this topic in the next class.

We concluded with Mantra pushpam chanting and closing prayers.

Homework: Practice reciting this Gita sloka and contemplate on the meaning. Come prepared for a group discussion on this topic.

Regards

Vijayam Teachers
