May 5 HTS Balvihar Class

7/26/2019

View this email in your browser

Namaste,

This Sunday is our final class. Some teachers are planning to take Final exams this week so that they may start the Annual day prep from next Sunday. We insist on all students to attend and give their complete efforts to mark the Balvihar year to a solid conclusion!

Marathi Students will start the morning assembly with Bhajan. Our Hindu Dharma has many traditions. Our Vedas and Upanishad teach us about different mantra for different activities that we do. We say a mantra when we wake up, when we take a bath, when we light a lamp, when we eat, before we go to sleep. One such evening mantra said in households across Maharashtra will be recited by our Marathi students.

We are so glad to see all our language classes students take turns to sing in their mother tongue. We thank our language teachers in making this happen. In listening to various Bhajans during the last few months, we have experienced that our Bhakti does not need Bhasha. Our devotion somehow aids our souls to connect.

Balvihar Cafe Menu :

Cheese Pizza - $1 per slice. Juice box - 50 cents.
