Gopala class

Dear devotees and devotee kids,

Since we have a very new facility we are able to take a wonderful class for your kids and having good association with parents.

The kids are so eager to listen to the stories and I can see the curiosity in them.

So far we have covered lots of sweet past times of the Lord Krishna and two bagavad gita slokas

We are doing an attempt on Narashimha arati prayer. The kids are awesome, some of the kids know the song well. Some new kids just picked up so nicely.

We will do more practice of Lord Narasimha arati every week for newer kids.

The stories we covered so far are birth of Krishna, Krishna travelling to Goloka, Killing of wind demon Trinavarta, naming ceremony of Krishna, Krishna eating mud, Damodara Lila (Yashoda tieing Krishna in the mortar), Krishna eating mud, Krishna and Kaliya, Krishna and the cart demon, Lord Jagannath past times.

We also covered some etiquette in the temple like how to offer obeisances and recognizing the dieties. We will talk more about etiquette in the classes.

Coloring:
At this age this is one of the fun activity for my class. Honestly it is not possible for us to do it without the support of the parents who help the kids to color.
Some kids show extreme interest in coloring we are going to create a folder and maintain for all the kids.

I will create a blog for every week sunday class and update the slokas I teach them with the significance, so parents can be in sync with the kids.

With love,
Nama Priya DD (Nirmala Subramani)
