Beginning Prayers
- Om Saha Navavathu
- Vakratunda Mahakaya
- GuruStotram (My Prayers, Page 9) - We reviewed sloka 1.
We started the story session by conducting a quiz based on the first week's lesson. The kids were divided into two teams - A & B. We continued the story. King Dasharatha had 4 sons - Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata and Shatrugna. We also talked about how they were learning the art of archery (there were no guns at that time) and how good they were at that art. All the kids want to be like Rama, who listens to his parents and is very obedient and dutiful.
Then we discussed how Sage Vishwamitra came to Ayodhya to ask for Rama's help in fighting the rakshasas Subahu and Maricha. King Dasharatha did not want to send his son there, but Sage Vasistha convinced the King that there must be a reason why Sage Vishwamitra was asking for Rama's help. King Dasharatha then agreed to send Rama and Lakshmana with Vishwamitra. We also discussed the story of how Vishwamitra who was a king became a sage, a Brahmarishi.
