Advent of Lord Krsna

Hare Krsna!

Dear Parents,

Thank you very much for bringing your kids to Sunday school.

We sang prayer, recited sloka and heard story about Lord Shri Krsna.

Prayer:
he krsna karunaa-sindho diina-bandho jagat-pate
gopesa gopikaa-kaanta raadhaa-kaanta namo'stu te

Meaning: O my dear Krsna, You are the friend of the distressed and the source of creation. You are the master of the gopis and the lover of Radharani. I offer my respectful obeisances unto You.

Sloka:
Bhagavad Gita(chapter 1: verse 1). To hear the sloka, please copy and paste the following link in a new tab.

Parents, please let the kids hear the sloka.

Story Time:
We discussed who Lord Krsna is and why He appeared on earth (Chapter 1 - 'Advent of Lord Krishna' from Krsna book)


Practical applications :
1) Listen to elders(parents, grand parents, teachers)
2) Do your duties (morning duties, studying, eating etc)
3) Pray to Lord Krishna everyday


Parents, please read chapter 1 from Krsna book to your kids before bed time.

In the next class, we'll sing the prayer, recite the sloka and cover 'Birth of Lord Krsna'

HariBol!

Gajendra story and Bagavad Gita 7th chapter

Dear parents,

I am so happy to be back to tell stories to the kids.

For the last couple of weeks we have been discussing about the colors of Krishna and Gajendra story.

Also revising Bagavad Gita Slokas from 7th Chapter.

Below are the lyrics of the bajan which we are teaching in the class.


Govind mero hai Gopal mero hai
Banke bihari nandalal mero hai

charanan mein nupura jhanakari
Nanda yasoda ajava bihari
dinan pe sada doyal mero hai

Govind mero hai.. (refrain)

Braja mandal mein gaiyan charave
makhan chori luti dadhi khave
das tero dekhkan nihal mero

Govind mero hai... (refrain)

I will see you all again on sunday evening

Narashimha dev story III and Bhajan

Dear parents,

Hare Krishna.

Prahlad Mahraj and his father

Last week we talked about how prahlad mahraj was strong in his principle even though his fater tortured him. Even though his father threw him out of the mountain he prayed that his father should realize about Vishnu.

We started with Kayathu (Hiranyakasipu's wife) in Naradhaji's ashram hearing about past times of Krishna and how Prahlad was educated when he was in the womb. He already knew about Krishna when he was born.

When he was 5 years like our Gopalas he went to Gurukul run by Sanda and Amarka. But their teachings did not make any sense to Prahlad. All they taught was how to be a king by killing enemies. Prahlad thought there should not be any enemies he was so compassionate for all of them.He treated everyone equally so all of his friends in the school liked him so much.

Next week we will finish how Narashimha dev saves Prahlad.

Bhajan:
We finished Jaya radha madhava... and we will move on to another small bhajan.

The sunday school will come to an end in a month or so, but we will still continue to have the class to engage the kids.

Thank you
Nama priya & Anu radha
