"“Faith in God is to strengthen your faith in you, the faith in your own Self.This is, in other words, called Self-confidence, confidence in your own Self. If that is not there, you cannot succeed in life."

02/07/20009 Bala Kendra review
Om Namah Shivaya everyone,

Boy, were we busy last week! We finished Ramayana storytelling, and Dr. Raji was very engaging describing Hanuman and Lanka war. Then, we practiced our Rama skit and had a very successful performance in the beginning of the satsang. Everybody was delighted to see wonderful impersonations of Rama (Naren), Sita(Dasha), king Janak(Zhenya), Lakshman(Julieanna), sage Vishwamitra(Paru), and 3 less fortunate princes (Madhav, Arun, and Nishkama). Very special thank you to Sumathy, Raji, and Naren for the costumes, props, and set up.

But that was not the end of our work. All children got creatively busy working on their mini-altars. Totally, they made 7 altars, and they were so beautiful - decorated with special fabric and paper, pearls and jewels, with Amma or Ganeshan in the center. Children took their mini-altars home to have a very special place in their rooms. Thank you to everyone who contributed the materials.

Briefly, this Saturday (tomorrow)'s plan:
1) yoga;
2) cleanliness discussion;
3) Shiva story by Dr. Raji;
4) Valentine's day special project - making chocolate strawberries and cookies.

Please, join us.
Love, Olga
