Story of Bakasura and Aghasura

Hare Krishna!!!

Dear Parents,
Thank you for bringing your kids to Sunday school.
This week,
PRAYERS: We started a new prayer offering our respects to Guru.

om ajnana -timirāndhasya
jñānāñjana-śalākayā
cakṣur unmīlitaḿyena
tasmai sri-gurave namah

Translation: I was born in the darkest ignorance, and my spiritual master opened my eyes with the torch of knowledge. I offer my respectful obeisances unto him.


SLOKA: We learned a new Bhagavad-Gita sloka from Chapter 9: Verse 14.

satataḿ kīrtayanto maam
yatantaś ca drdha-vrataah
namasyantaś ca maam_bhaktyaa
nitya-yuktaa upaasate

Translation: Always chanting My glories, endeavoring with great determination, bowing down before Me, these great souls perpetually worship Me with devotion.

We also revised the Bhagavad-Gita slokas (chapter 9 : Verse 2) and sloka(Chapter 3: verse21)
(Note: Please refer to the previous posts for the prayers and their translations.)

STORY TIME: We heard the stories of demon Bakasura and demon Aghasura who thought Lord Krsna to be an ordinary child and tried to kill him on the order of King Kamsa. We also learnt what happened to those who act against Lord Krsna.

Parents please read chapters 11 and 12 from Krsna book to your kids or click
