Comments:

• Jeevan Uncle was out today because of allergies and Jayashree Aunty had a scratchy throat so Mamatha Aunty did the shlokas and Bhajans with the kids today.


• We learnt the third stanza of the Khate Bhi Ram Kaho


• We colored a picture of Kurma Avatar.


• We played the Ganeshaha Vadati game - just like Simon says. We learnt a few Sanskrit words for this - Upavishatu - sit down, Utthishtatu - stand up, Uthpathathu - Jump, Tharathu - swim.
• We practised the Geeta in earnest - all the shlokas from 1 - 7.
