Materials Covered: In this week's class we covered slides 1 to 3 which were about different religions. We talked about when each religion was founded, along with who founded that particular religion. The oldest religion is Sanatana Dharma, which was founded by Bhagavan, Rishis, and Rishikas before 2000 BCE. The newest religion is Sikhism, founded by Guru Nanak around 1469-1539 CE. We also did an activity where students named as many Rishis as they could think of.

For Homework: Pick one of the Rishis or Rishikas from this list and talk about them in next week's class. Click here
