(chorus)
Lay your burden down on Me.
Lay your burden down on Me.
Lay your burden down,
Then those troubles won't keep coming around and around
(If you) Lay your burden down on Me.
Take my hand and walk with Me.
Take my hand and walk with Me.
Take my hand and walk with Me,
And put an end to all of your misery,
Take my hand and walk with Me.
Step by step we'll walk along.
Step by step we'll walk along.
Step by step we'll walk along,
And then our hearts will be overflowing with song,
Step by step we'll walk along.
(chorus)
Lay your burden down on Me.
Lay your burden down on Me.
Lay your burden down,
Then those troubles won't keep coming around and around
(If you) Lay your burden down on Me.
From now on you'll never walk alone.
From now on you'll never walk alone.
From now on you'll never walk alone,
For now you're with Me and you've finally come home.
From now on you'll never walk alone.
(chorus)
Lay your burden down on Me.
Lay your burden down on Me.
Lay your burden down,
THen those troubles won't keep coming around and around
(If you) Lay your burden down on Me.

O, Swami Chinmayananda
His Love you give to everyone.
You teach the Knowledge of Perfection.
And show us all that we are one.
(chorus)
I see your saffron robes a-flowing,
With every step in perfect stride.
And your face is always showing
The real Truth is inside.
The sun and moon can see you passing.
Both through the day and through the night.
And watching them I can acknowledge,
That is is you who has taken flight.
(chorus)
I see your saffron robes a-flowing,
With every step in perfect stride.
And your face is always showing
The real Truth is inside.
O, Swami Chinmayananda,
What is this game we're here to play?
Will we be wise enough tomorrow
To know it wasn't real, anyway?
(chorus)
I see your saffron robes a-flowing,
With every step in perfect stride.
And your face is always showing
The real Truth is inside.

Things to Pack and Bring
"My Prayers" and "Chinmaya Book of Vedic Chants"
Both books are published by Chinmaya Mission. We will have copies available for purchase at the ashram. These books will be used throughout the summer -- therefore, we request your child have their own copy during camp.
Vegetarian Lunch and Snack (no eggs)
Please pack healthy foods and try to refrain from items with high sugar content. We love to see the children eat fresh fruits, yogurt, multi-grains, legumes, and vegetables! We have microwaves available for re-heating. We are not able to cook, however.
Smock or Old Shirt
Some of our art class projects can be a little messy. We will be working with modeling clay, papier mache, and paint throughout the summer.
Sunblock/Sun Cap
The children will be spending some time outdoors on a daily basis ... both with sports and art class projects. We do request that your child have their own sunblock. Because of allergies and sensitive skin conditions, children will not be allowed to share sunblock with one another.
One Extra Set of Clothes (including plastic flip flops)
Sometimes messes happen ... or better yet, we head outdoors for some Water Spray Fun! Please send in a full extra set of clothes for your child during his/her camp stay.
One Small Photograph of Your Child
This is for our camp files and will not be returned to you.

This game has been around forever -- and we like to use it during our discussions on "Why it is important to have a Guru."
Have the children sit in a circle. One child thinks of a word or a sentence and then whispers it in the ear of the child sitting next to him/her. Then that child whispers what they heard into his/her neighbor's ear ... and so on. Then the last child announces what they were told to the entire group.
It never fails that what was originally said gets very distorted as it is passed around. In one of our circle times we started with "Swamiji likes oranges and wears grape-colored Crocs." Within one interpretation it became "Swamiji likes oranges and wears cream-colored Crocs." And then, somewhere in the middle of the circle it got changed to "Swamiji wears orange shoes," which ended up as "I have no idea what she said!"
This is definitely a fun game ...
