Hari OM,
We had a wonderful class after the thanks giving break, below is the notes from the class :
1) After initial chit-chat, we had discussed with everyone on how are they keeping up with their routine. Then we reviewed the homework spreadsheet. Lot of them are not filled up. This is to request all the parents to please update the grades and make it up to date. Here is the link to the spread sheet: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AtkQEbJHGyr0dGNvZHZjU3BSSno4VmEwWmZoVEVIRHc&authkey=CI3hh_QF&hl=en_GB#gid=0
2) We did the regular routine of warm-up, yoga & pranayama
3) We learned a new powerful technique to help students to improve they memory retention power discovered by our ancient Rushi/Muni discussed below. After reading/listening, close your eyes and recollect what you studied by sticking your tongue to the palate inside your mouth. Details explained below.
4) The students have taken turns and read the article : “Oh Students be Inquisitive” . The students are asked to complete the reading at home and write few paragraphs explaining the moral of the story. Click on this link : O Students be Inquisitive
5) We celebrated the birthday of Karthik in a Vedic way, chanting the Mantras from the Vedas and lighting lamps on a swastika build with 5 colors reflecting the 5 elements of nature, of which this body is made up of. This is done mainly to fill Karthik with positive energy and take the blessings from the Vedas and the 5 elements wishing him health, happiness & success.
6) Of course we all watched the fun birthday video of Karthiek. Check it out here: http://www.blip.tv/file/4482001
7) Home work for this week: Do your daily routine & please go through the article and write the summary in your own words and bring it to the class.
All this in about 50-55 mins, just amazing, thanks for your co-operation. See you in the next class.
