Dec 12 2021 HTS Balvihar Class

12/12/2021

Namaste Balvihar Families,
We have arrived at our last teaching class for 2021, the one before Midterms. This is a good time to check with your student, if they are prepared for the midterms and up to date with their homework.
Your teachers may have scheduled the midterms for a different date based on how they plan their syllabus or due to other travel reasons. Please communicate with your teacher to be informed.
Request :
Please encourage your child to be turning their camera on and chant the mantra. When Balvihar starts next year, it will help if they are practicing their shloka. The value of attending Balvihar comes from immersing through the process sincerely.

Satsangh :
14th December is Gita Mahotsav on Mokshada Ekadashi. Many ages ago, on this day Lord Krishna started the discourse of explaining Arjuna the revelation that is Bhagavad Gita.
Gita - Song, Bhagavad - The Lord's. Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, The Respectful Song of the Lord. This 700 verse scripture holds the questions and answers that any human can have during the course of their life.
In Sanskrit, we refer it as Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, because the Shrimad prefix conveys high degree of respect. Shrimad Bhagavatam, on the other hand is a Purana - history, dealing with the life of various avatars of Bhagawan Vishnu.
Just to be able to access it, understand it and apply it is a proof that one did good Karma in our last birth. Let us all strive to be the best version of ourselves.

Reminder : This Saturday Dec 18th will be your last day to drop your gift in our temple library for the children patients of LVH Reilly or bring it with you on Dec 19th 1:30 - 2 pm Drop off.
