ACTIVITY OF THE DAY: AUTHENTICITY: ALIGNING THE FOUR iMAGES
PROCEDURE:
- Tell the children to write a description for each one. Ask them to see whether they align or not and to share their observations with others.
- Discuss how we can align all our four images.
- Discuss what they think happens when all four images align. Discuss how authenticity and enriching sacrifice are connected.
INFERENCE:
The prime requirement is authenticity, śraddha. Śraddha refers as well to the understanding that the enriching act of sacrifice, austerity or charity, yajña, tapas or dāna is not directed towards oneself or a material goal. They are directed to the enrichment of Supreme consciousness.
