Stealing of the Boys and Calves by Brahma

Hare Krishna!!!

Dear Parents,
Thank you for bringing your kids to Sunday school.

This week,
PRAYERS: We offered our respects to Guru, Shri Krishna, Srimati Radharani and prayers before reading Srimad – Bhagavatam book.

SLOKA: Please revise all the Bhagavad-Gita sloka from
Chapter 1: verse 1
Chapter 3: verse 21
Chapter 9: verse 2
Chapter 9: Verse 14.
(Note: Please refer to the previous posts for the prayers and their translations.)
STORY TIME: We heard how Brahma seeing Lord Krsna kill the demon Aghasura, steals his gopa friends and
the calves and put them in magic sleep in a cave. He leaves for a moment and comes back to see what is Lord Krsna doing. To his confusion, he sees the same cowherd boys and the calves having lunch with Lord Krsna. To clarify who is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Krsna reveals that all the cowherd boys and the calves are his expansions. Then, Lord Brahma realizes his mistake and begs forgiveness from Lord Krsna.

Practical Application:
1. Never think Lord Krsna to be an ordinary demigod. Lord Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead
2. Lord Krsna always protect his devotees.

Parents please read chapter 13 from Krsna book to your kids or click the following link for the http://krsnabook.com/ch13.html

Namapriya mataji taught us the value of co-operation with a moral story.

Once there was a very rich man with four sons. These four sons were always fighting with each other for dresses, books, toys, etc. They grew up fighting and once they were grown-ups, they went to different houses to live in and they never got along. Their father was so sad to see his sons always fighting but didn’t know how to bring them together.
When the father fell ill, he called his four sons to see him and he had a bundle of sticks tied together. When his first son came, the father asked him to break the bundle of sticks. The first son tried to break but he couldn’t. The father asked the second son to break the bundle of sticks, so the second son tried to break but he couldn’t. The father asked the third and the fourth son to do the same thing and both of them tried but they also couldn’t break. The father finally gave one stick to each and asked them to break. The four sons broke it very easily. Then the father said to his sons, that if we co-operate with each other, no one can harm us but if we always fight with other, other people can hurt us easily.
United we stand, divided we fall. Also, a family that prays together always stays together even in times of trouble.
Looking forward to seeing all of you in the next class.
Haribol!!!!
