God’s Love
God’s Love
Preparatory Efforts
The Balvikas Children can be shown Videos depicting love of a Mother/father towards their children.
Gurus could also show videos of animals showing love towards their young ones, videos of animals that show love/care to smaller animals belonging to different species. Example – An elephant taking care of a dog, monkey taking care of a bear cub etc.
Suggested Questions for Discussions
- Did you enjoy the Videos? Which one did you like the best? Why?
- Do you think we get love only at home? Who gives us love in School? Who takes care of us in school?
- Do you love playing? Who makes the games interesting for us?
- Do you have friends? Do you enjoy being with them? Why?
- Are you scared of crossing the road? Have you ever crossed the road alone? In such a situation, did the person standing next to you help you cross? Have you helped anyone cross the road?
- Is it possible for us to always stay with our parents, brothers, friends?
- Have you shown love to someone you do not know? How? How did they feel? Did you feel happy?
Inference
Gurus should explain to the children that the love they get from their parents, teachers, friends, siblings, relatives, pet animals etc are God’s Love which is channelled through each of them. So also the love that we give others is God’s love channelled through us. God loves all of us equally and unconditionally and showers His love on all of us, sometimes like a mother, sometimes like a friend, sometimes like a brother.
The Gurus can conclude the class by asking the children to make a greeting card for Swami.
Note
Videos are available on YouTube. Balvikas Gurus are requested to ensure that they get the relevant videos from YouTube well ahead of the class to avoid distraction and undue delay in playing the videos in class.
