Hari om
Our wonderful Amrutham began with the invocation prayers and 3 ॐ.
We started off with our Ganesha bhajans. Since Navratri is coming soon we have decided to move on from Ganesha to Maa Durga.
We learned a new bhajan on Maa Durga
Ambaparameshwari Akhilandeshwari
Aadiparashakti palayamaam
Sribhuvaneshwari Raajarajeshwari
Aandaroopini Palayamaam
This small bhajan tells us the various names of Durga.
Do you all know how Durga came into being?
Lord Shiva was the most benevolent. He was pleased with the tapas of Mahisha the rakshasa and gave him the boon that " no man could ever destroy him". But now Mahisha, being the bull that he is, started troubling everyone. This worried the devas. They went running to Shiva and asked for his help.
Now ask your children how Siva helped them by creating Durga.
You can also ask your children about Durga's ride,the lion.
After our short snack break we moved on to our Likhita Japa. We have started making the children write ॐ in our erasable sheets.
We played Mahishasuramardini Stotram in the background. They enjoyed the "ai giri nandini" song while doing the activities.
Our take home art and craft gift for the day was a thoranam. Each child had the opportunity to make it with me while Deepa aunty told them the wonderful story of the "Honest Woodcutter". Now they all know that honesty is the best policy and they also have a beautiful thoranam to hang over their door.
We concluded the day with our closing prayers and 3 ॐ 🙏.
