| Sairam dear parents, We had good first class, please find class highlights. -Students had setup Swami’s chair, followed by prayers to help us learn & practice the teachings -Intros and icebreaker activity -Why are they in this class & importance: this is a movement to raise a generation of boys and girls who have a clean and a clear conscience. They can be a good doctor or engineer but without values it like having a mansion without strong foundation *Practice*: We had asked them to change their mindset, understand the importance of being on right path, be proactive to come to the class -Ganesh Chathurthi: They shared story of Ganesha and we discussed how Ganesha respected their parents. What did Swami say about it. “Make parents happy and give them peace for, “Maatru devo bhava, pitru devo bhava”, mother is God, and father is God. The blood, the food and the knowledge are all the gifts of one’s parents. Therefore one must be first and foremost, grateful to one’s parents and make them happy and satisfied. Then God will be happy. “Maatru devo bhava, Pitru devo bhava”, mother is God, and father is God. All are divine. But one must start from one’s parents then extend it to the entire universe. That leads to true bliss” Baba 1996-06-22 *Practice*: Each student had to set a goal for themselves to respect their parents, please ask them their goal!! We asked students to pick chit from Swami’ feet for 3A or 3B assignment as shared during parent orientation |
