Krishna Colors and Importance of Nava Rathri

Hare Krishna!!!

Dear Parents,

Thank you for bringing your kids to sunday school.

This week,

Prayer:

We recited "he Krishna karuna sindhuo" prayer.

Story Time:

We read "Krishna Colors" book and learned all the colors in relation to Lord Krishna.

Our sunday school principal Vraja Bhakti mataji gave a very nice presentation on the importance of Nava Rathri and Dushera and heard stories of why Nava Rathri is celebrated and which Deva/Devi is worshiped on this day and what is the benefit of observing these Pujas.

Next week, we will hear about Diwali and importance of Govardhan Puja.

Haribol!!

Dear Parents,
Thank you for bringing your kids to Sunday school. It was delightful to hear many kids reciting 'he krsna karuna sindho' prayer wonderfully. We kindly request you to bring your kids regularly, so that they may grow spiritually strong.

SLOKA:
We learned a new sloka this week from Bhagavad-Gita(Chapter 3 : Verse 21)

yad yad ācarati śreṣṭhas
tat tad evetaro janaḥ
sa yat pramāṇaḿ kurute
lokas tad anuvartate

TRANSLATION
Whatever action a great man performs, common men follow. And whatever standards he sets by exemplary acts, all the world pursues.

Parents, please let the kids hear the sloka often.

STORY TIME:
We revised "Birth of Lord Krishna" and heard how Vasudeva carried the newborn baby Krishna to Nanda Maharaj's house and placed Baby Krishna near Yashoda Maiya and brought their baby girl(Durga) to prison. We found out how Kamsa tried to kill Durga but couldn't and what Durga Devi warned Kamsa and what happened to Durga Devi. We discussed why Kamsa became very afraid and how he apologized to Vasudeva and Devaki and released them from prison.(Chapter 3 & 4 from Krishna book).
