· Topic of the day : C for cleanliness
We learned cleanliness of the exterior (surrounding and body is important and why it is important). Students saw how we avoid drinking water from a glass that is dirty outside and dirty inside. We all like to drink sweet clean water. It is important to keep your mind clean also. Mind gets dirty because of harmful input from the sense organs ( violent movies andTV shows, listening to bad words etc.). Clean mind that is clean, sweet mind loved by God. Good thoughts , thoughts of love for all, and kindness are good thoughts that are in mind.
Students saw pictures of Gandhiji's 3 monkeys, showing us the way to keep our minds clean.
