Bhagvatam Time:
We did the recap of the story we did last week and then continued on with our story. After hearing the cow, King Pariksit was angry with Kali and then he was about to chop off his head. Kali got scared and immediately fell at the King's feet and begged for forgiveness. Since Pariksit was a just king, he could not even think of killing anyone seeking refuge. He at once asked Kali to leave his kingdom with a warning not to be seen again. Kali didn't have anywhere to go and so asked for some refuge. King Pariksit gave him five places to dwell where untruthfulness, arrogance, lust, cruelty, and wealth exists.
Quest: Where does Kali live?
- Untruthfulness - gambling
- Arrogance - drinking
- Lust - overwhelming desire
- Cruelty - unkindness
- Wealth - running after wealth
Brainstorming: Who is Kali?
Kali is the name given to the time period in which we are living now. In this yuga, people become arrogant, unkind, lie, run after money, and engage in unethical behaviors.
An Advice:
Stay away from the places that Kali lives.
Stay away from the places that Kali lives.
Game Time:
We asked kids to stand on one foot to see how long they can do it. We wanted to show them how hard it would have been for the bull to stand on one leg.
Note:
For the Likhita Japa books can be taken from the front desk. Section 1 has already handed out the Gita chanting papers. Kids are supposed to keep it safe and bring it every week. Section 2 will be handing out the papers to the kids in the next class.
