Yoga & Shri Maha Vishnu

This week, we had our Yoga combined with 6th graders. Some of our students didn't bring the yoga mat. We had a great session. Our Yoga teacher shared a very good thought with us. Yoga is not just doing various poses, but it is the process of preparing one body to be receptive and be able to reach meditative stage. Lot of us are not able to maintain any posture for beyond few seconds! With the advent of so many electronic gadgets, we have no dearth for distractions. The best thing is for you to stay / sit in one posture on the floor with a straight spine for Five minutes every day. Please practice this alone or along with your kids. But please practice. To make this a practice, we are asking all the kids to bring their Yoga mats to every class. So they can sit in the floor for a specific period. After Yoga, we revised the details on Lord Shri Vishnu and how "Shantakaram bhujaga Sayanam.." is a Dyana slokha. Please ask the kids and we want them to be able to recite this slokha next class. We didn't have Isha and Anupriya in the class. Great job by Diya and she is catching up to Isha on the prayer log. We have three participants for the prayer log and we want other kids to join too. Please have your kids fill up the Prayer log.

The coming sunday, the class is a field trip to the Swaminarayan Mandir in Robbinsville, NJ. Please sign up on the invitation you received and be there promptly by 9:45. The temple tour starts @ 10 AM, followed by a video, Arathi and lunch.
