Loving Sai Rams to All
With Swami's grace, we held our monthly online Bal Vikas Classes on Sunday 17th May
The session started with multi-faith prayers. The session continued with a guided Yoga and Silent Sitting Session.
Group 1 explored the significance of the Five Elements, beginning with a recap on the importance of gratitude. This helped set the tone for the lesson, encouraging reflection on appreciating what we receive. They then deepened their understanding by discussing how the Five Elements give selflessly, without expecting anything in return, reinforcing the value of gratitude and humility. The session concluded with learning the prayer Aumkaram Bindhu Samyuktam, where they explored its meaning and spiritual significance.Group 1 explored the beautiful themes of devotion and contentment 🌸✨
Students learned that true happiness comes from appreciating what we already have, rather than always wanting more. Through discussions and reflections, they explored the importance of humility, gratitude, and understanding the difference between good and bad desires 🙏
The session also included bhajan practice, prayers, and thoughtful homework activities where students will share examples of desires and write the bhajan along with its meaning 📖🎶
Groups 2 and 3 began by practising the prayer “Samastha Lokha Sukhino Bhavantu,” helping them reflect on wishing peace and happiness for all beings. They then explored the significance of key festivals and observances, including Hanuman Jayanti, Good Friday, Tamil New Year, and Vishu, gaining an understanding of their spiritual and cultural importance. The lesson concluded with a continuation of their study of the Mahabharata, after which they were assigned to complete their gratitude tree in preparation for Easwaramma Day.Groups 2 & 3 explored the significance of Buddha Poornima 🌕 and learned about the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path 🪷
Students also reflected on Eeshwaramma Day and how Swami lovingly fulfilled His mother’s three wishes — providing drinking water, a school, and a hospital ❤️ We discussed why these acts of service are so important to society.
The session concluded with the continuation of the inspiring story of the Mahabharat 📖✨
In celebration of Buddha Poornima, the children were taught a new Sarva Dharma Bhajan
