Our student blogger for this week's class is Nikhita Iyer. Here's her summary for the class of March 4, 2018.
Importance of Perseverance
What is a goal you have? What will you do to succeed at your goal? What is the key to accomplish your goal?
Thomas A.Palmer once said,”If at first you don’t succeed,try,try,try, again!”. That is the key to succeed at your goal. Last week in balvihar I learned that if I want to succeed at my goal, I have to keep trying and never give up. I also have to be patient’. If I want to succeed at my goal, the result may not come right away.
A Chataka bird is a beautiful bird that only drinks water from the rain drops.It does not drink water from anywhere else.It is always patient until the next rainfall to get its water.
King Bruce was a great king of Scotland. He was fighting in war, and he was losing. He was ready to give up. He was hiding in a cave, after a battle, and he saw a spider spinning a web. The web kept on breaking but the spider never gave up. The spider always tried again and was patient. At last,the spider had spun a beautiful web. The king was inspired to try again and not give up on the war.
Like the Chataka bird and the spider, we need to be patient and be able to wait for our result.That will make us better people over all.
=====================================================
We also started learning to chant Mantra Pushpam. This is usually chanted at the time of offering of the flowers to the deities at the very end of the Prayers, Pujas, and rituals.This mantra is taken from the Taittiriya Aranyakam of the Yajur Veda.
Please note that Mantra Pushpam is in the Handbook-page # 34-35. Please have the kids practice at home.
We also learnt the God resides in the hearts of those whose ears are like oceans. What does that mean ? An ocean never gets flooded in spite of numerous river streams pouring water into the ocean. Tulsidas says that Ram resides in the hearts of those who never gets tired of listening to Rama's stories.
We also learnt that words trigger thinking and thinking results in love, You become what we think of, and what you love. So it is important to hear only the right things. We discussed what is good for us and what is not good, because what we hear tends to have a profound effect on us. Therefore, we must hear what is good for us.
