Namaste,

Happy New Year! 2018 is upon us with new hope and plans! We embark on our first Balvihar class this Sunday Jan 7th. Fortunately the weather has been merciful on us so far. We are looking at frigid temperatures and blistery winds, but this is normal for Lehigh Valley at this time of the year.


Please start early and drive safe on Sunday morning. Our mantrochaar will start at 9:45 am and Aarti will be at 10:00. Classes begin immediately after that.


Satsangh : We are gearing up for Uttarayan festival and in relevance to that, we will be learning the benefits of Surya Namaskara Yoga asana.  Surya Namaskar is the best early morning exercise that we can do for a fantastic start of the day! Hopefully Balvihar students will incorporate this helpful tool in their lives the same way they were impressed by  Brain Yoga.
 We welcome Shri. Rajesh Chinnawar to show us the asanas. Sumedhaji and Rajeshji represent
Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh and serve towards making Indian American communities understand more about our culture.

Our visit will be under 15 minutes, so please be punctual.  We will be all dressed in our HTS Balvihar Hoodies. Thank you for your generosity. HTS Balvihar "Diwali to Christmas" Toy drive is always a happy joyful way to kick off the winter break!  Happy Holidays!

Namaste,

Good luck to all Balvihar students for their midterms. Please make sure kids have at least two sharpened pencils, erasers and sharpener in their pencil case. A clipboard is sometimes a helpful item for the students when the teachers expect the papers to be returned for grading.



Parents are requested to attend the Parent Teacher meeting on Dec 17th from 11:30 - 11:45 am in the basement. If you have any concern, questions or suggestions this would be the perfect time to bring the points out for the community to share and we can all find the solutions. Please refer to the FAQ page on our HTS Balvihar website so that we can focus on new queries.
http://www.balviharallentown.org/faq.html
While you are in the meeting, students will be in the temple area interacting with Religion 5 students. A religion quiz with prizes!
Please note, a few teachers might not be available for P&T due to family commitments, you may email them directly.



From 2018, we will be focusing on learning about a Bhagwan every Satsangh session. We invite the Balvihar students to volunteer to research upon a  topic from the list provided at request and share their presentation skills with the rest of the assembly during Satsangh. Presentation can be up to 10 minutes long. Use of a slide presentation is optional.


We also invite parents to share their area of expertise, service or interest with the community. This networking not only creates awareness of each other's talents it brings forth a possibility to lean on each other for guidance. 



This Sunday will be our last day of " Diwali to Christmas "  Toy Drive. Thank you for your generosity. Happy Holidays!

December 10 2017 Balvihar Class

Namaste,


Snowflakes are in the air, evenings are dark but twinkly and we are all in the mood to hang up our worries and to-do lists for a warm cup of cocoa and surrender to Jingle bells!   Balvihar year has been moving so fast that we can barely catch up! If you are in the midst of Holiday Shopping, planning a trip or just decide to stay at home and watch Lehigh Valley turn from bare to snow covered, hope you are finding some time to yourself. We thank you for being a wonderful HTS Balvihar Family. In small and big ways you have encouraged the teachers and coordinators to be more than we can. The happy, smiling children with their beautiful smiles have made our mornings brighter! Thank you.

We have regular class on December 10th 2017. There was an error in the last email update. Apologies.

Last Satsangh, we had a good second session with Sapan Shah. Simple breathing exercises can help our conscious mind from building stress. Early access to social media and gadgets give more reasons for kids to loose focus and want constant gratification.  Video games, chat groups may help kids understand problem solving and networking but without a set rule of screen time we risk attention disorder as well as other health problems. 
We look forward to the culimination of the mental health awareness session in spring.
For our December 10th Satsangh, We welcome Ms. Malathi Santhanam BSN, for a session on CPR. The life saving technique of  Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is one of the most helpful tool in any person's arsenal. We want our Balvihar kids to not only be aware of this information, but we want them to feel encouraged to take CPR certification courses during summer.
 
Malathiji has worked in Lehigh Valley Hospital as well as Sacred Heart Hospital in past and currently works at Spiritrust Lutheran Homecare and Hospice as a visiting nurse. Malathiji is an integral part of Hindu Temple Society and has helped us with flu clinic since last 4 years.
Dec 17th will be the last day for our Diwali to Christmas Toy drive. We thank all the families who have generously donated. Dhanyawaad. An email will be sent to all the families who want to join us on the day of Donation. We will all chant Aum mantra in the main hall for the universal well being, we will be there for around 15 minutes.

For Dec 17th, Please save the time slot 11: 30 - 11:45 am for our Parent Teacher session. Since we have our midterms, each class test will be 30 minutes duration. At 11:15 we will meet in the temple hall for Satsangh. We  break for the holidays and our next class will be on January 7th.

Namaste,


We have Balvihar Class on Sunday December 3rd. This will be the last class before the midterms. So please make a point to bring your kids on time and encourage them to take notes.

We are looking forward to donations for Diwali to Christmas. Please remind your children to consider being involved for this initiative.


Satsangh : 

Our second session for Mental  health awareness will be during Satsangh. Last class conducted by Sapan Shah was a great success. This is a helpful tool for our children as well as parents to take a self check as we stay in the busy routine of schedule driven lives.

Menu : Idli, Vada, Plain Dosa, Cheese Dosa.
