INTRODUCTION🔗

Bhisma was highly respected for his valor and sagacity. It is one of the greatest ironies of Mahabharata that wise men like Bhisma and Drona chose to be on Duryodhana's side, knowing fully well that whatever path Duryodhana was following was morally incorrect.

In the highest spiritual sense there is no right or wrong morally. Everything is neutral. Bhisma and Drona were highly learned in the scriptural truths. Moreover, they were fully aware that Krsna was a divine incarnation. The very fact that Krsna sided with the Pandavas was a clear indication to them how the war would unfold. They had no fears about their own deaths; and more importantly, they had no guilt about what they had embarked upon. Men like Bhisma, Drona and Krpacarya trusted their awareness. Duryodhana was their prince and they were committed to him. They were certain that Duryodhana would perish and they would too, along with him. To these great warriors, dying on the battlefield was the duty of a ksatriya, a warrior. What was more important to them was that they were rooted in the awareness of the present moment, carrying out their duty. Their awareness transcended the moral rights and wrongs established by society and religion. They disapproved of Duryodhana's insult of the Pandava princes and Draupadi in the court but did not protest. They disapproved of Duryodhana's instigation of this war and yet took his side, knowing fully well that what lay ahead was destruction. This was not foolishness or resignation.

These great masters allowed nature to take its own course and allowed themselves to be swept along with the tide. To relax and allow whatever happens to happen is the sure sign of an evolved spirit. Ordinary human beings have the freedom to think, choose, and act. As a result, they think they are in control of their destinies. In one sense they are; they make their decisions and act upon them. But it is their unconscious samskaras, the memories, value systems, and beliefs that drive them into and through all these decisions.

The child should understand that there are two ways to live life, one is through acceptance and the flow of nature and the other is that of resistance, which brings suffering.

1. Which dynasty did Bhisma belong to?

2. Which side did Krsna stand by?

CREATE HAPPY ART

MATERIALS NEEDED:

PROCEDURE

Using balloons they can form a design like Happy New Year or Happy face or any other structure. They can create any maximization of art by choosing from the materials available.

Inference:

Connect them to the fact that there are only two ways of relating with the world, if you do not feel responsible you react, if you feel you are responsible you respond.

BLOW IT UP !

Material Needed: 1 Feather per Child

Procedure: Give each child a feather and ask them to blow it up in the air, try to keep it up.

A feather floats on the wind and goes with the flow of things; it is open and accepts life as it comes. Great masters allow themselves to be swept along with the tide.

Procedure: Samsara Dahana Kriya is the way for perpetual completion. Samskara Dahana Kriya will liberate you from the painful experiences of the past. If something or somebody can save you from bringing your past into your future, it is only Samskara Dahana Kriya. Everyone doing SDK should take an oath not to exploit others who share the details about their past with them during SDK.

1.Sit and pen down all your pain patterns.

2.Sit and visualize and then relive them in your inner space and relieve them from your lives. Do this at least 5 times or till you stop seeing the effect of those past thoughts on your life.

3.Then relive them using the mirror and relieve those thoughts using the mirror where you are just a mere spectator and the past is like a movie running in the mirror.

4.Then sit with 5 other people individually and go on sharing with them. These five people can be your father, mother, sibling and friends.

5.Listen to the completion stories of at least five other people. Teaching Samaskara Dahana Kriya, making people do Samskara Dahana Kriya is the most powerful way of spreading global peace.

Encourage the children to do the SDK. Ask them to talk about and write down the incidents in their lives when they felt guilty. They can write as many incidents as they can. Now ask them to follow steps 2, 3, 4 & 5 of SDK.

When you expand and feel responsibility, a certain grace happens to your being, you enrich people around you and yourself. Responsibility makes away the pseudo concepts of tiredness, boredom, escaping feeling, guilt from you. No revolution can change the world only evolution can change the world. Be responsible for yourself and others and come out of the guilty feeling.

Those children who cannot write can draw the incidents or an adult can help them to pen down the incidents

If we learn to flow with Nature like the reeds in a river, we will always do the right thing. We suffer when we resist Nature. There are two ways to live life. One is to accept the world and life as it is, what in Sanskrit is termed srsti drsti. The other way is to try to make circumstances evolve according to our viewpoint, called drsti srsti. The first attitude, one of acceptance, brings happiness; the second, one of resistance, brings suffering. Resistance is an exercise doomed to encounter failure. In our lives we cannot change the attitude of our neighbor, we can transform ourselves, that's all. If we do that, it is enough!
