EXAMPLES GIVEN BY SWAMI TO EXPLAIN THE DIFFICULT POINTS WHICH ARE VERY USEFUL TO ALL OF US:
PEACE-
Om sri sai ram
We start the class chanting "Omkaaram" for three times. Then guruvandanam "om sri sai ram" for 21 times. We ask the children to sit straight closing the eyes and keeping the hands in the posture of chinmudra [joing the thumb and the index finger while the remaining fingers straight].
We generally divide the teaching time in 3 or 4 parts as per the time available.
The 1st part will be the time for slokam. We teach the slokams with clear pronunciation. We make the children to repeat or chant the slokam as clearly as possible since they are very young. We explain the meaning about which god we are chanting the particular slokam. We further teach as to the special significance of any festival any related special day. If any special occasion coincides, like national holidays etc, we inform them the importance of such occasion with relevant slokam,
By the grace and blessings of Sri Sathya Sai Baba I have been conducting "SRI SATHYA SAI BALA VIKAS CLASS" on every Saturday between 5pm to 6pm for the age groups of 5-9 years.
In these classes, as per the guidelines kindly offered by Swami I teach them slokas, bhajans, and stress the importance of spiritual activities like meditation, health, hygiene and so on. In these classes I am expected to bring out the DIVINE QUALITIES in the students. Stress on the importance and the usefulness of the five elements and the five sense organs is also taught in these classes. They will also learn the DISCIPLINE, DUTY TOWARDS PARENTS, DEDICATION TO WORK AND HELPING OTHERS IN NEED.
Every year before the last session of this class I give some useful holiday homework to the children by concentrating on art, music and so on.
