Hari 🕉
Today was the first official Balvihar after the open house last week.
We began our class with 3 🕉 followed by our starting prayers. This was followed by small stretching exercises.
We welcomed Lord Ganesha into our class by singing songs.
Today we sang
1. Single tusk Ganapati ekadanta
Big belly Ganapati lambodhara
Remover of obstacles vignanashaka
Supreme Lord my Vinayaka
Lord of all spirits gananayaka
Elephant faced God gajanana
Bent trunk Ganapati vakratunda
Son of Parvati umasuta
We sang with lots of actions. Please ask your children to teach you how to sing the song with actions.
2. Mooshikavahana modakahasta
Chamarakarna vilambitasootra
Vaamanaroopa maheshwaraputra
Vighnavinashaka paata namaste
This also was recited with actions which the children enjoyed doing.
3. Vakratunda mahakaya
Suryakoti samaprabha
Nirvighnam kurumedeva
Sarvakaryeshu sarvada
We shared the story of how Ganapati tricked Kubera. It was such a fun story. You should ask your children how Ganapati cried for food, because he was hungry. They loved the story and participated by enacting some of the parts.
We took a short snack break followed by our arts and crafts activity for the day. We made a Ganesha mask using paper cup and color paper. The children were very proud of their Ganeshas.
For today's Likhitajapa we colored 🕉 . The children were very focused and quiet during the activity. The teachers sang today's bhajans while they were busy with their Likhitajapa. It was a unique experience for all of us.
We concluded the day by chanting the closing prayers.
