The major attractive aspect of this program was the whole event was modulated and Organized by senior Balvikas students of Begumpet zone. Interestingly all were welcomed with a fruit basket by group - Balvikas students.The session started with Vedam chant, garlanding Swamis photo and lighting the lamp by the students.
At the outset our District president Sri. H. Srinivasulu Garu spoke a few introductory lines about our Organization and made it clear that we are not here to spread any religion. For the benefit of new comers he explained that there are mainly 3 functional wings of our organization, which are Education, Service and Spiritual wings. He said that this programme is part of the education wing.A pocket book on Veda in Telugu “Vedamalika” was released by Smt. Lalithamma Garu, District mahila Vibhag co-coordinator.
The meet had a very interesting interactive program with Mrs. Uma Rao, a Senior Balvikas guru from Dallas, USA.Smt. Uma Rao Garu emphasized the need for conducting Balvikas classes .and the different aspects of the class like, slokas, story telling, bhajans, group activities etc. She said that parents have a very important role to play.A Guru, only sows a seed and it is the responsibility of the parent to water and nurture it and see that it blossoms into a beautiful flower.
Basic manners to greet elders or our guest are also taken care of in the class.To develop intimacy with parents and also to increase the strength of the class, she advised to have a parent participation class wherein we have group activities for the parents. This develops commitment from the parents too in bringing their children to the class, discussing and making them follow what is being taught and in turn help themselves to live like a role model to their children.
A habit is learnt in 2 months if the child is around 10 years and it will take 11 months if the child is around 30 years. Children need a mentor other than the parent and that has to be a Balvikas Guru.They also need an alternate peer group with same or higher morals, and it has to be a Balvikas group.Balvikas creates consciousnes of right and wrong, good and bad in children, which is very important as the parents may not be always available to keep a watch on them.
Children learn to think before they act after attending the classes.They are told how to live righteously and truthfully in this world.Life applications play an important role in moulding a Child’s character. Balvikas brings out the inherent talents which are hidden, unknown and un-recognized evenby the parents and the students themselves.
Balvikas students presented their skills in sloka recitation, padyasukthulu and their meaning, bhajans, drawing, story writing, Veda chanting etc. Parents were inspired by their talents. Some children had put forward their problems in the form of questions, which were answered by Smt.Uma Rao Garu and by other parents too.
The sample Q’s are: Q 1. When we get angry as children can we forgive that person who is the cause of our anger? If so how?
A. YES. By just keeping quiet for some time and making them realize later that what they have done is incorrect.By channelising your energy in any productive work like cleaning your room, or doing homework very fast etc. it is said that when we are angry we get a lot of energy.By talking to that person who is the cause of our anger with a smile and helping them in their needs, we will make them feel ashamed.By being open to that person who is the cause of our anger, as sometimes they will not be aware that they had caused us anger. This will reduce our agony and their anger.
Q 2. How to cope up with daily chores and satisfy every body?
A. Attend Balvikas classes regularly which will help you to maintain time and time management and also to plan your things perfectly. Improves your concentration, develops intuition, will help you follow self-discipline etc.
There was an inspiring talk by Mrs.Pooja Sawhney, who stated that for the success of a Bal Vikas class how all are important - a guru who is the front wheel, a parent who is the back wheel, and a student who is riding the bicycle.
A few parents also expressed their opinions and appreciated the motto of the class.The activities of Begumpet zone were detailed by Smt. Saraswathi Rama Rao Garu.The session closed at 6.30pm with harathi.
NOTE: All the participants irrespective of age left the hall with this same feeling - "THE NEED OF THE HOUR FOR ALL ROUND DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN IS BALVIKAS AND ALL OF US HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY".
