Gnaanananda Mayam

Shreya, Shankin, Harshitha,Agneesh,Vijaya, Kausthubh (Friday, 11/12/2010 @ 06.00PM)

Children recited the three previous shlokas continuously for the first 15 minutes.  Then they learnt a new shlokha - Sri Hayagreeva Stotram (Vishnu with a horse face).  He is the ultimate authority of education.  It is believed that children praying Sri hayagreeva with this sthothram are blessed by Him with strong education.

Sri Hayagreeva Stotram

Gnaana nanda mayam devam, nirmala spatika hrudim
Aadharam sarva vidhyaanaam, hayagreevam upaasmahe !

Please ask the children to practice these 4 shlokas so far on a daily basis.

Hare Krishna !
