त्रैविद्या मां सोमपाः पूतपापा यज्ञैरिष्ट्वा स्वर्गतिं प्रार्थयन्ते ।
ते पुण्यमासाद्य सुरेन्द्रलोक मश्नन्ति दिव्यान्दिवि देवभोगान्
॥९-२०॥
traividyā māṁ somapāḥ pūtapāpā
yajñairiṣṭvā svargatiṁ prārthayante te
puṇyam āsādya surendra-lokam aśnanti
divyāndivi devabhogān
Those who practice the vedic rituals and drink the soma juice worship Me indirectly seeking the heavenly pleasures. They go to heaven and enjoy sensual delights
POWERFUL COGNITION
When we understand that the whole universe is divine,when we experience Vishnu, meaning when we experience eternal bliss,we attract Lakshmi, wealth!
ते तं भुक्त्वा स्वर्गलोकं विशालं क्षीणे पुण्ये मर्त्यलोकं विशन्ति ।
एवं त्रयीधर्ममनुप्रपन्ना गतागतं कामकामा लभन्ते
॥ ९-२१॥
te taṁ bhuktvā svargalokaṁ
viśālaṁ kṣīṇe puṇye
martyalokaṁ viśanti evaṁ
trayīdharmam anuprapannā
gatāgataṁ kāmakāmā labhante
Once they have thus enjoyed heavenly sense pleasure, they are reborn on this planet again. By practicing vedic rituals as result oriented actions, they are bound by the cycle of birth and death.
POWERFUL COGNITION
Continuously, the universe cares for you. The Divine waits for you. It responds to your thoughts.

अनन्याश्चिन्तयन्तो मां ये जनाः पर्युपासते ।
तेषां नित्याभियुक्तानां योगक्षेमं वहाम्यहम्

paryupāsate teṣāṁ nityābhiyuktānāṁ

POWERFUL COGNITION
I take care of you in all ways. I give them whatever they want spiritually and materially and I take care that it stays with them. I take care that nobody takes it away from them.
येऽप्यन्यदेवता भक्ता यजन्ते श्रद्धयान्विताः ।
तेऽपि मामेव कौन्तेय यजन्त्यविधिपूर्वकम्
॥ ९-२३॥

śraddhayā'nvitāḥ te'pi mām
eva kaunteya yajanty
avidhipūrvakam
Even those who worship other deities,
they too worship Me, O Kaunteya (son
of Kuntī), but without true
understanding.
POWERFUL COGNITION
We will have everything and nothing will be lost.
अहं हि सर्वयज्ञानां भोक्ता च प्रभुरेव च ।
न तु मामभिजानन्ति तत्त्वेनातश्च्यवन्ति ते
॥ ९-२४॥
aham hi sarvayajñānāṁ bhoktā ca
prabhureva ca na tu mām abhijānanti
tattvenātaścyavanti te
I am the only enjoyer [bhokta] and the only Lord [prabhu] of all sacrifices. Those who do not recognize My true transcendental nature are born again and again.
POWERFUL COGNITION
The whole of Existence responds to our inner space.
INTRODUCTION
Krsna speaks about the attitude with which we read scriptures or perform rituals. Scriptures have immense knowledge. Rituals have immense power. They are meditations, yet, they are useless if done with fear and greed.
When we do pious activities with fear or greed, though we see some transformation, we will go back to where we started. That is what Krsna means by Indra loka, the momentary transformation or elevation of our state. When we perform certain rituals: when we do puja, or prayer, or we read scriptures, it should become a meditation. Our ego, our fear, and our greed should not come in the way. Do things with intensity.
The next verse is the main core that reveals the secret. Krsna tells Arjuna and all of us: 'Those who always worship Me, those who always reside in Me, ananyascintayanto mam ye janah paryupasate, people who have become Me, people who reside in eternal consciousness: to them, I carry what they lack and I preserve what they have. I personally take care of them.' Understand, no other incarnation has revealed this truth so clearly
He says, 'If you reside in eternal consciousness, divine energy, bliss consciousness, I take care of you in all ways. I give them whatever they want spiritually and materially and I take care that it stays with them. I take care that nobody takes it away from them.' This is a beautiful statement and assurance'. Anyhow, understand, Existence responds to our thoughts. Only based 'on our thoughts, we create relationships, friends, society, our circle, and naturally, our whole world. Again and again, Vedanta says, drsti-srsti, we create what we see. We create the universe from the angle of our vision. When our drsti (vision) changes, the srsti (world around us) changes too. By changing our vision, we change the world around us.
In each one of us, the power of
coincidence, the power to create,
exists. All we need to do is open that.
Understand that we have the power
to create the coincidence. Trust that
your consciousness is connected to
the universe. Continuously, the
universe cares for you. The Divine
waits for you. It responds to your
thoughts. We create what we want.
We have the power to create the
world when we are conscious, when
we are in the waking state. When we
can create a world in the dream state,
can't we create that in the waking
state? We can do it. Even now, we
create our world.
'IF WE ARE CREATING OUR WORLD, WHY DO WE CREATE SO MANY MISERIES?
The answer is simple. We do so because we have vested interests in our sufferings. Somewhere we feel comfortable when we suffer. When our inner consciousness changes, when we reside in eternal consciousness,we automatically attract the power of coincidence. We attract the power of coincidence. The moment we understand that the whole universe is pervaded by the Existential energy of Vishnu, we attract Lakshmi, Vishnu's consort, who represents wealth! When we understand that the whole universe is divine,when we experience Vishnu, meaning when we experience eternal bliss,we attract Lakshmi, wealth!
GOALS:
To help the child discover the
inner bliss within them to create
the life they seek.
ASSESSMENTS
1. What is the meaning of drsti-srsti?
- What is meant by ,'ananyascintayanto mam ye janah paryupasate'.
- Share an incident in your life when your divine consciousness manifested what you asked for?
ART OF
THE DAY
ART OF THE DAY:
DRAW THE WORLD
MATERIALS NEEDED:
- Pens
- Pencil
- Paper
PROCEDURE:
Encourage the children to draw the world. Let the children draw as much of it as they are able to draw.
INFERENCE:
Connect them to the fact the whole world is a holographic structure. What is drawn is the unique perspective and expression of how the child cognizes the world and what they can manifest through their vision.
ACTIVITY OF
THE DAY
ACTIVITY OF THE DAY:
DiSCUSSioN TiME!
PROCEDURE:
Encourage the talk about the responsibility of saving electricity. You probably hear a lot about saving electricity in the media. However it is important to consider the reasons why you would do so. When you are fully informed about the benefits of saving electricity your own personal endeavors to do so will have a greater depth to them. This increases the chances that you will make a difference in the long term, rather than just as a fleeting experiment.
Perhaps the most immediately attractive benefit to saving electricity is the amount of money that you save. Shutting off the lights and keeping your electric heat at a reasonable level will save you money every month.
Saving energy doesn't just benefit you. It benefits the world at large. Electricity is usually produced at plants burning fossil fuels such as oil and coal. These produce greenhouse gases and other pollutants that harm the environment.
Turning off your television for a set period each day and engaging in a physical activity will make you healthier and look better from the exercise.
ACTIVITY OF THE DAY:
DiSCUSSioN TiME!
INFERENCE:
When the child is able to understand the positive effects that saving electricity has on the world, they will grow with the cognitions of understanding how to preserve life in the world, the same way Krsna speaks about preserving and protecting what we have.
WORKSHOP
OF THE DAY
WORKSHOP OF THE DAY:
VAAKYARTHA SADHAS
PROCEDURE:
Encourage the children to do the SDK. Ask them to visualize and write down the incidents in their lives where they stole things from others. They can write as many incidents as they can.
1. Sit and visualize and then relive them in your inner space and relieve them from your lives.
2. 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.
INFERENCE:
When you feel the responsibility for existence, you become existence and existence feels responsible for you. You will get what you want, ultimate things will happen only when you start happening as you want. So be responsible, never steal anybody's thing.
NOTE:
Those children who cannot write can draw the incidents or an adult can help them to pen down the incidents.
WORKSHOP OF THE DAY:
VAAKYARTHA SADHAS
CONCLUSION:
When you feel the responsibility for existence, you become existence and existence feels responsible for you? The more positive thoughts and actions we project in the universe can help us to manifest the reality we desire. When we take care of our inner space, automatically, the outer space showers on us. Existence responds to our inner bliss and blesses us. Never think that the universe is mere matter. It is live intelligence.
