The class blog volunteer for this class was Karthik. Here is his summary:
Vijayam class had a wonderful balavihar session with extra fun, on Feb 23rd. We had a Biksha with swamiji. In class we all first opened with the invocation slokas, and then we talked about belief and it’s importance. The whole class had some good debates about certain beliefs. Then we learnt the Vedic Aarathi (nakarmana). It was very tongue twisting and challenging to many at first, but soon everyone got the hang of it. Then we all had our snack brake. We had some funny jokes and great riddles. Once it was over, we all got serious and started practicing the chants we were going to do for the Biksha. Soon it was time to meet our Swamiji for the Biksha. We all sat in front of swamiji and chanted Shiva Manasa Pooja, Vedic arathi and Mantra Pushpam. Everyone applauded at our Vijayam class performance. Then all of us served lunch for swamiji and we all joined him too! After lunch was over we had a session with swamiji.Many of us asked lots of good questions like “Why do you have so many material possesions?” Swamiji answered quite simply, “I am detached, I do not need them. They are just to make things more efficient.” Another really good question was, “What is the perfect balance of Sattvic, Rajasic and Tamasic in an ideal person?” Swamiji answered, “80% Sattvic, 15% Rajasic and 5% Tamasic.” Soon swamiji had to leave, so we bid him farewell and we all went home.
