Prarthana, Kuladevata Naamjap, Importance of Datta Naamjap, good sanskars, following dharma like birthday celebration, Shlokas to be recited while doing daily conducts, Stories of our great Saints, Patriots and Warriors, Question answer sessions, subtle experiments are some of the topics taken during these classes. Around 60 children participate in this class from the age-group of 8-14. They come from ordinary middle-class family. A few of them are Christians.

Highlights :
  • Children do chanting with so much enthusiasm and concentration that it extends more than the allotted time of 5 minutes.
  • They by heart the shlokas taught in the class immediately.
  • Everyone is ready to answer the questions asked at the end of the session.
  • Some children who come to chennai for summer vacation also participate. This year also they have come to participate.
  • Some of them ask serious tough questions which becomes a challenge to answer. For example -
  • When we say that keeping kumkum is very important why do muslim women do not keep kumkum and why do they cover with black burqa? What is the science behind that ?
  • It is told that human creation started from Adam and Eve. Then who created this world and all human beings ?
  • What is meant by vibrations ?
  • What are negative energies ?
  • When foreign invaders of other religions invaded our country why did we let them stay here ?
  • When some other countries are driving us out why should we allow them to reside here in Bharath ?

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism!

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism: The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly. "Yasya Trayastrinshad Devaa Ange Sarve Samaahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”. ~(Atharva Veda 10-7-13) Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world. In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1) The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2
