Teacher training classes on telebridge

Jai Srimannarayana to all,

JETUSA Bay Area is planning to have Prajna Classes for interested future teachers of Prajna on telebridge by Sriman Muraliji. We will be starting our first training class tomorrow which is Hygri:va Jayanthi, an auspicious day to start our training. We are fortunate enough to have Sriman Muraliji with us. He is willing to teach all the interested people on telebridge. It is not necessarily, a teacher training. All the interested people can dail in and learn the slokas from Prajna Module 1 and 2.

There is a lot of demand for conducting Prajna classes at new locations and timings every year. We need a lot of volunteer support in running the regular classes under the guidance of His Holiness Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji and Kum. Saradaji. I humbly request everyone in Prajna to utilize this wonderful opportunity and join the coaching classes to help ourselves in being aware of Prajna curriculum. Check the website for current schedules and dial in number.

Prajna students perform Hayagri:va Puja

On the last day of summer holidays, the occasion of Hayagri:va Jayanti, Prajna children of Bay Area performed Hayagri:va Puja. With the mangalashanams of our beloved acharya the Prajna children this summer have been involved in 2 summer camps, one at Fremont and one at Sunnyvale and today they have performed Hayagri:va puja. Lord Hayagri:va is worshiped as the personification of all knowledge. "Haya" means knowledge, "gri:va" means one who holds all the knowledge in his throat. If one worships Lord Hayagri:va for mastering any particular branch or branches of knowledge, He grants it readily and sees to it that there are no obstacles to acquire such knowledge. May Lord Hayagri:va bless these children with all the knowledge they would need to start their fall classes and ensure a successful academic year. Thanks to Sheshdriji for making the photos available to us so quickly. Here is the slideshow of today's event. Check out Swamiji's article about Lord Hayagri:va here: http://www.chinnajeeyar.org/Articles-Magazines/Hayagreeva.asp
