We will meet for Morning Mantra and Aarti and use the same link for Satsangh. 

Satsangh : 
One of the greatest rulers of Bharatiya land is Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj. We start our student presentations with our student Hridhaan Kshirsagar, who will share his insight with us. This is a great way for our students to learn about our history and culture. Do encourage the students to learn and participate.

We will have a pop quiz for all students after the presentation, the topic is Navratri!  One student from each Religion level will win a $10 Amazon gift card! Good luck. Jai Ambe!

Namaste,

This Sunday, we will meet at 9:40 am and start the morning with Mantra under the leadership of Senior student from Religion 5 class. Make sure you have your Mantra book  so that you can practice the Mantra and understand its meaning. We will do this with our mic off but camera on. We will then sing Aarti with our mic on so that we can all be blessed with each other's fervor and enthusiasm!

Satsangh : If the little ones are too tired to join Satsangh, that is alright. We encourage the older students and Parents  to join, so that you may ask us questions or concerns. You can also text questions in the chat box and one of the teachers can help you there.  
In future, we will be using Satsangh time to help kids express their skills with music, dance, discussing a topic of interest or encourage local organizations share their information with Balvihar family. This session will usually last within 20 minutes time frame. In past we have discussed Cyber security, Yoga - Suryanamaskara on Uttarayan, Jainism, Sikhism, Public speaking, Mental Health, Bharatnatyam, Kathak, Odissi dances, Hindustani Classical music, STEAMM initiatives so that our students can broaden their horizons.

Right now, all of this may seem like a lot, We are in the same boat as you. We  want students to continue their connectivity with their culture, language and friends at Balvihar. While we do this, the fees, HTS membership donations, support the Mandir and really make a difference. So Thank you. We meet twice a month, we have 15 Balvihar Classes from September till May this year, so let us make happy, positive memories. Do not forget to thank our wonderful Teachers who are volunteers spending their time for all of us. Namaste.
