Week 2: Day 2!

Hari Om!

The day started off with chanting again and continued with Yoga.


The Balarama and Keshava learned about the Mookambika temple. Vineeth, our Balarama class friend, said, "The Mookambika temple is located in the town of Kollur in Bangalore. Mookambika is an avatar of Parvati. The story starts like this: Once there was an asura. He was trying to get eternal power by praying to Shiva. He was praying to Shiva because Shiva is the easiest to please. When Parvati heard his prayers she knew he was up to no good. So she asked Saraswati, the Goddess of Speech, to help her. So Saraswati made the asura mute. Now he is called Mukasura, to see that he couldn't talk. He teased some Yogis in the Forest. When Parvati saw this, she took the form of Mookambika and slayed him. Shri Adi Shankaracharya installed the idol of Mookambika."


We ended the day with Arts and Crafts with Rupal Auntie! The children painted various sun and moon magnets :D
