What did we learn today?
We summarized the learnings of second grade BV.
We covered what is an Avatara and why does God take an Avatara?
List of Dashavatara.


What do we learn from Bhagavatam?
Story Time:
Shaunaka Rishi  lived in nimisharanya with his disciples . One day Sutaji a learned Rishi visited them.
 All the students and the teacher paid respects to Sutaji and gathered around him. Saunaka Rishi asked a question to Sutaji so that the students could benefit.
Saunaka Rishi asked "please tell us how can a person become good and happy forever". Sutaji replied that he would love to and further he continued to state that it is given in a poem written by Sri Veda Vyasa called "Bhagavatam" which has 18,000 verses.


In the next class we are going to share how Bhagavatam was written.

The class assembled in the auditorium for Aarathi and pledge.
See you next week!
