Nov 17th - Goddess Lakshmi Symbolism (Contd)

After the Morning prayers and Meditation session, we continued about the positive qualities and Real wealth that Goddess Lakshmi bestows upon us. The 6 inner wealth according to Adi Shankarcharya are Shama, Dama, Uparati, Titiksha, Shraddha and Samadana. To illustrate each of these qualities clearly, the children heard a story about Self Control.

We also did a Recap of the 16 steps of Puja or Puja Vidhi.....

Geeta Chanting - We recited the first 3 verses of Chapter 14. The kids have copies of Chapter 14 now (1 sheet). They should try to recite this every day, this way it is easy to memorize.
