Dec 14th, 2014: Humble

We had a wonderful class last Sunday. We are loved because of our good qualities, likes being polite, love, kindness etc. We also love people friends who have beautiful qualities. 

Everybody shared their experience on virtue  "Humble" . It was great to heard all those experiences.  Some children shared that experience as below , somebody praises them, immediately their response is "You are also doing great". Such a wonderful thought our children have :-) 

Based on that topic "Humble"  made a project , traced of your child's hand and made up a flower from it. Children did an awesome job! You can look into their project.

We played a game of the Story like inact show story of Krishna & Balarama and Dhenukasura, everybody enjoyed it. We all had a wonderful time.

Mar 17, 2013

Narrated Akrura's story, his stopping on the banks of mandakini river while taking Krishna & balarama to Mathura to meet Kamsa. Akrura, kamsa's minister but an ardent devotee of Sri Krishna, sees Sri krishna in the form of Maha Vishnu in the waters of the river while doing his afternoon pooja. Thus he was assured no one can harm Sri Krishna & Balarama since they are divine incarnations. He expresses his devotion via a beautiful stotra which describes Lords presence in waters, sky, and earth, all over. I related this to Gita Ch 13 shloka no. 14-  Sarvath pani padam, sarvatokshi shiromukham..... " that is how God is everybody's hands, legs, head, ears, and covering the entire creation. Smitha Yadamareddy, a parent, taught Krishna-astakam to children.
