| SaiRam dear parents, Please find the class notes below:
We began our class with vedam chanting, Ganapathi Prarthana, Medhasuktham 2nd stanza, and concluded with Kshama Prarthana. We also practiced bhajans for Sai Madhuram. The boys sang “Sarvatra govinda nama sankeerthana,” and the girls sang “Love… “ On Sunday, October 20th, we celebrated Swami’s Avatar Declaration Day. We discussed Swami’s childhood memories and watched a video presentation. The students actively participated and shared their knowledge of Swami’s childhood. On Avatar Declaration Day, Swami revealed that he is God. He also said, “You too are God.” He entered our lives, and we are all chosen by him. As a gesture of gratitude, we should show a positive change in our daily conduct. Our thoughts, words, and actions should be pure. Swami is the center of our lives. He is in control, and we should be happy, fearless, and obedient. We need God’s guidance to make the right choices in life, Just as we respond when called by our name, calling out to God’s name brings God’s presence and protection close to us. We practiced writing Om Sri Sai Ram with a one-minute timer and chanting His name silently, reminding the students of the peace and focus that comes from Namasmarana. We concluded the class by singing the first bhajan taught by Swami, “Manasa Bhajare Guru charanam.” |
