Dear Parents,
We were so happy to see all the kids and their enthusiasm. Many kids very nicely recited the sloka.

STORY TIME:  We continued the story of Ajamila from last week.
When Ajamila called for his son "Narayana..Narayana..."helplessly without any other motive,  four Vishnudutas came and ordered the Yamadutas to stop. But the Yamadutas said that Ajamila  did not follow values in his life and they need to take him to their King Yamaraj. 
Smiling, the Vishnudutas said that since Ajamila called out one of God's names- Narayana, he had been excused.  The Yamadutas were completely confused and went to their King, Yamaraj, who explained to his servants that he himself is a servant of Lord Vishnu and in the future they should not go near a person, if they call out one of Lord's names like Ajamila.
Ajamila realized that Vishnudutas had saved him, he bowed his head at  the Vishnuduta's feet. Then, just as he was about to say something to the Vishnudutas, they suddenly disappeared.
Ajamila understood why he was so fortunate, why he named his son Narayana. Its all because of devotional service that he performed in his young age. Then Ajamila, went to a Vishnu temple in Hardwar and practiced bhakti.
After some time, as Ajamila sat chanting God's holy name on the bank of Ganges river, he again saw the four Vishnudutas in their golden airplane. Then, Ajamila happily went with them to Vaikunta.

We concluded the class with the coloring of Ajamila and Vishnudutas picture.
 
Looking forward to seeing all of you in the next class.
Haribol!!!!
