Namaste,

We are currently in the auspicious days of Spring's nine days of Devi Celebrations, Chaitra Navaratri. At the start of these 9 days is Yugadi/Ugadi/Gudi Padwa/Chetti Chand/Bihu/Navreh which is celebrated for the start of a new Samvatsara. This is according to the Lunar Calendar. 

We also celebrate Shri Raama Navami on April 2nd as well as Hanuman Janmotsava on April 8th. In the midst of such blessed celebrations, we have the opportunity to be able to focus, chant, and understand the message of the epic that these festivals are based on. 

 
The five elements that humanity needs to thrive on are called Pancha Mahabhoot. They are Space - Aakash, Air -Vaayu, Fire - Agni, Water - Jal and Earth - Bhoomi. Our theology considers these as Devatas and Bhoomi as a Devi. Our existence depends on treating them with respect. Our journey on this planet is best optimized when we only consume our share and create opportunities for others to share as well. According to Ayurveda, Pancha Bhoota is associated with the overall health of human being. According to Yoga, the aim of keeping focus is to have mastery over oneself. This mastery can be achieved by mastering all the basic elements.

Now we have a chance to introspect how we need these Five elements, and how understanding each other's needs is necessary. Navaratri is the best time of the year to lean on Ayurveda and Yoga. Here are few tips to make your time enhanced.

Schedule your week with few definite items. Study, work, cooking, sleep.
Schedule Family time. Board games, discussing your day, Aarti, Chant, Karaoke.
"Un schedule" your free time and respect each other's need for space.
Aim. Those things that you never had time to do, now is the time! 
Gratitude. Thank your health care providers, Local Grocery provider in some way.

 

 E Learning : 
We have received feedback from all teachers that families across Balvihar are using our E - Learning transformation well. Whether it is through emails, whats app chat, Zoom sessions, or Phone conference, we are all doing our best! Thank you. A Huge thank you to our superlative teachers who are doing an extraordinary job of volunteering and spreading the light of knowledge! Did you reach out to your teachers and show them you care?
Satsangh : How do you we enrich our community while staying in the safety of our own homes? We all know that good Karma, Karuna makes us better people. That has always been the main message of our Satsangh sessions. If you are interested in joining our team, then we have few things you can join in.

Send us the names of your family, friends, neighbors who are currently busy helping us in Health, Food, Police, Transportation services and keeping our society working. These heroes deserve recognition and our prayers. We plan to make a list of all these amazing people and acknowledge their Seva. Email us at HTSBalvihar@Gmail.Com. 


We are committed to Parkland Food pantry, Hindu Temple Society Balvihar contributed $1000 this month on all of our behalf. We would like to do a Charity Drive soon and request you to commit any amount you can. $5, $10 so that our neighborhood families who are struggling to make ends meet may have their basic needs met. 
By participating in these two opportunities, you will create Goodwill, Punya and inspire your kids to know that in times of uncertainty, we can still choose to do the right thing. 


 
Sending you all love, regards and positive vibes! Namaste.
