Group 4, SSSE

Sairam All!  We started our class with 3 OMs.  15 students were able to attend the class.  As this was our first class of 2025 New Year, wished everyone a Happy New Year 2025 and what fun activities the students did with their families over the Christmas break.   I asked the Group 4 students for some positive affirmations from 1H of the SSSE year.  What they liked, areas to focus on for 2H of the SSSE year.  We then briefly discussed why 2025 year was so significant for the SAI organization and Swami’s 100th year.

Some key service projects we reviewed that we plan to do this month. Key details for parents as well for the in-class service project on Jan. 19th for making stuffed animals toys for ill children at Ronald McDonald House in Durham.  Kids will need to come a bit early for the class that day (3:30pm-5pm for the service project).  Also, discussed the Service project of cooking/serving for the Women’s Shelter on Jan. 26th.  More specifics on ingredients needed for the dinner meal will be shared later this week.   Then, we started the class activity for this week’s class Jan 5th.  The focus and discussion for the class was for each student to provide 3 Personal Sadhana’s or New Year’s resolutions that they wanted to focus on for 2025.   I asked each student to write down 3, and then present to the class the ways they would try to address those committed Sadhana’s throughout the year.  Good resolutions and interactive discussions with the group 4 students.  They were able to learn from each other the ways to succeed with the personal sadhanas that each discussed in front of the class.  Then, reviewed some of Swami’s quotes on maintaining good habits as well as some example stories that Swami had discussed with devotees in Parthi.   We concluded with OM and 3 Shanthi’s.

Mouli Uncle.
