ABOUT THE TOPIC:

Conscious death experience. We all live in constant fear of death. We are ready to escape it at all cost. Death is seen upon as our greatest enemy. Death is never a discontinuity. It is either continuity in some other form, or simply liberation, that's all. When man understands this, he will realize how foolish it is to suffer on this account.

Man is very attached to the physical form and that is why he suffers so much. The body is a mere vehicle for the soul. This has to be understood very clearly.

Although the only certain thing on planet earth for man is death, he is always taken by surprise when it actually happens! This is the most surprising thing about man.

GAME OF THE DAY:

SILENT CIRCLE

Everyone forms a circle, the larger the better. Then two players are picked. They are blindfolded and led somewhere in the circle. They are spun around and told to start searching. Everyone must remain absolutely silent. The blindfolded players must try to find each other without making any sound. Whenever a player is about to wander out of the play area, someone in the circle gently and silently turns them in the correct direction.

death, you conquer death itself.

ABOUT THE TOPIC:

Adults are able to apply death to everyone else except us! Everything in life we are prepared for except our own death. The irony is, everything in life is so unpredictable except death. The only certain thing in life is death. But the last thing we would like to be told is that sooner or later we are going to die!

When you conquer the fear of death, you conquer death itself, because death is just one more imagination! Just like how our greed makes us imagine the world to be more beautiful than it actually is, here our fear makes us imagine death to be more frightening than it actually is.

HOW THE QUALITY
OF LIFE CHANGES BY
RELEASING FEAR IN
THE SWADHISHTHANA
ENERGY CENTER.

Portrait

INTRODUCTION:

Introduce the children about how the quality of life changes by releasing fear in the Swadhishthana energy center.

GOALS:

To make the children understand about how we wear glasses of greed and fear.

CLICK OF THE TOPIC:
We wear glasses of greed and fear,
which do not allow us to see
reality.

Portrait of Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam

ABOUT THE TOPIC:

We wear glasses of greed and fear, which do not allow us to see reality. When you experience death psychologically, you release the energy that has been locked in the fear energy center called the swadhishtana chakra in your body, which is located in the navel center. When this energy center is activated, the whole quality of your life changes.

Because of your capacity to accept death as just a continuity in another form, your capacity to enjoy life is transformed. Your whole body relaxes; your consciousness expands; your living capacity expands. By understanding death and fear of death, your life will turn out to be rich; not wealthy may be, but rich. Richness is what is really important in life.
