Hari Om!!

We started the class as usual with the daily prayers. We had a new student join us today. Welcome Ishika. The students recited 1 - 3 caupai and we moved on to 4 to 7 where the poet Tulasidas praises Lord Hanuman as attractive and handsome, respected for valor and intelligence. Lord Hanuman has a thunderbolt in one hand and a flag of Lord Rama in another hand. Lord Hanuman learnt so many qualities from his parents.

The children learnt the story of Hanuman's flight where Hanuman came across 3 obstacles - Mainaka mountain, Surasa rakshasi and Simhika rakshasi while he was flying to Lanka to meet Sita. Hanumanji removed all those obstacles very easily with the help of his qualities like valor and intelligence. The students read another short story called - "A Better World" where they learnt that we should serve the fellow humans. They also learnt that Smile doesn't cost anything but brings joy to others who in turn smile back. The students enjoyed working on an activity sheet with details from Ramayana before the closing prayers.

Homework:

1. Interview your Parents:
With reference to today's lessons (Lord Hanuman learnt so many qualities from his parents), write down 5 qualities of your mother, 5 of your father and 5 of your qualities that you had absorbed from them with an indication from whom you had learnt that quality (Mom or Dad)

2. Memorize Caupai 4 to 7.

3. Write down the meaning of caupai 4 to 7 in one simple sentence each.

4. Color the pages from Caupai 4 to 7.
