Shlokas

Geeta Chanting: Chapter 15, Shlokas 1, 2,3,4, and 5. 6, and 7 and 8, and 9
Here is an audio blog that has archived all the Bhagavad Geeta chapters. It is a wonderful learning tool... and we highly recommend that you check it out. Also, please note that tutoring classes are being held at the ashram. We highly recommend that you sign your child up for this wonderful opportunity!


Concentration/Shell Game
Two and a half minutes of sitting silently, while focusing on the number of shells that are being dropped into a bowl.... with eyes closed, of course. :-)

Yoga Stretches/Exercise
5 to 10 minutes of stretching

Circle Time/Activity Time
This week's lesson was "R for Right"
In the last class we learned about the letter "O" which stands for obedience.  In the Vedanta alphabet, "R" comes after "O" because we first need to learn all the values of the alphabet except "P" and "Q". After we learn all these values, we become fit to do prayers, and learn about the letter "P" which stands for prayer. When we offer prayers to the Lord, we become quiet, and learn about the letter "Q". 
 
Therefore, after "Z", are letters "P" for prayer and "Q" for quiet. Since we had to take letters "P" and "Q" out of the normal order, letter "R" comes after "O".

Story Time: The Rock on the Road
