Namaste parents! 🙏

We began today’s class with three Om chants and shloka practice. We revisited the first five avatars of Lord Vishnu and story of Lord Hanuman. We discussed the 6th avatar, Parashuram, along with Lord Ram story. 

In our next class, we plan to do some craft activities, hoping we will be able to meet in person.

I understand that online classes can be challenging for children at this age when it comes to holding their attention, but all the kids did a wonderful job today.

We will be sharing a proposal for Annual Day presentation ideas next week. Parents and children can then decide which form of God (covered in class so far) they would like to dress up as. This will make the experience interesting, fun, and relatable for the kids.
