Amma's Angel-Week 4

Namah Shivaya brothers and sisters!

Today was the fourth week of Amma's Angel. There were fifty kids today. It is amazing the way they come every week on one holiday they get. They were ever eager to learn more. The class commenced with the ligthing of lamp and dhyana shloka. We also had the recitation of national anthem and the pledge.
Immediately thereafter, the kids were split up according to their grades and lessons were begun. All the kids love to write and learn! Given their enthusiasm and interest, had they been exposed to the resources available to us, they would do wonders. The lessons session was exhaustive and went on for an hour and a half.

Following the lessons, it was games time! The usual routine of ring-a-ring-a-roses was followed by two new games. The first one was 'Boogie-Woogie' in which the we all danced to the popular song "Put your right had in...put your right hand out...". The kids enjoyed it a lot and some were dancing to it even after it was over! We also played musical chairs singing 'Om Namah Shivaya' as the song.

Following the games, the kids were given biscuits. A story of the golden goose was narrated. An important quality of not being greedy was taught to the kids. They were then asked to recollect the teachings of previous classes like not using foul language, not wasting water etc. The children were also asked to cut their nails regularly and were advised against chewing their nails. They were also taught to use the words 'sorry' and 'thank you'.

In the end the kids were taught the song, "God's Love is so wonderful". All of them sang in accord and enjoyed it a lot. The class ended after changting of 'Om' thrice and offering namaskaram to Amma. Due to Amma's everflowing grace, all of us are realy enjoying this a lot. The kids are also responding very well. Please feel free to come and join us in this seva!

In Amma's love,
