THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM

Emotion: Fear

Chakra: Swadhisthana Chakra

Two inches below the navel. In Sanskrit, Swadhishthana means ' where your being is established' from swa which means 'self' and adhishthana which means 'established'. This chakra is locked by fear, especially the fear of death and it can be made to flower by facing fear; by facing death itself.

Meditation Technique to be an innocent and egoless being: Nirbhaya Dhyana— a technique fromVedanta

GOALS:

To make the children understand fear..

CLICK OF THE TOPIC: Every single fear is related to the fear of death.

All our fears are actually fear of death but under various disguises. Every single fear is related to the fear of death, but in a roundabout way. Because it is roundabout, we don't see it as fear of death. Without fear, the word death itself loses the meaning that we have been associating with it. Death is not something that happens at the end of our lives. It is something which is happening every moment of our lives. Every act of ours is unconsciously related to our death, the fear of dying. Death changes the very quality of our life. It is not the end; it is the climax of our lives, towards which our whole life is oriented

. Because our whole life is controlled by our concept of death. Even our social structure is dictated by our concept of death.

INTRODUCTION:

Teach the children about the science that helps us live life at it's optimum.

GOALS: To make the children understand fear

CLICK OF THE TOPIC:

We need to solve death and see it as a mere continuity in a different form.

The cultures which believe in a single life with no concept of reincarnation, have poured all of their energies into excelling in life. They have achieved the peak in terms assimilating of information, gaining of knowledge and material comforts. These cultures have given rise to science. Science helps us live life at its optimum and get the maximum out of this life. The cultures which believe in reincarnation have turned the focus of their life inwards.

Their search is different. They are not motivated to live life in a hurry, because eternity is granted to them. Our whole mental set-up, the course of our lives, our society, our culture, our religion, everything is based on our idea of death. We try our best not to think about death, but death pervades every moment of our life!

When we understand the depths, the secrets and mystery of death, we will understand the secrets of life. We need to solve death and see it a mere continuity in a different form. Otherwise, we will miss life itself.

  • ¤ When will we miss life?

You must have an even number of players for this. All the players are blindfolded. They are given an object such as a pencil. Another player will be given an object that complements a pencil such as a pencil sharpener. Other items that could be used lipstick and makeup mirror things like that. All the players are moved to places around the room and spun around. They then have to wander around the room without talking and find their complemented pair. When they do they can removed their blindfolds and watch the others. The game is played until everyone is linked up.

INTRODUCTION:

Teach the children that death is nothing but continuity in another form.

GOALS: To make the children understand about how we wear glasses of greed and fear.

CLICK OF THE TOPIC:

Death is the greatest teacher.

If we understand that death is nothing but continuity in another form, we will not fear death. And when we stop fearing death, we will know to what extent we have been missing life.

We take life for granted and we live so superficially that we miss many aspects of life. Death will simply teach us to look into life with more awareness. Death is the greatest guru ever.

When we want to bring in conviction about something, we can do it in two ways: we can either experiment and see for ourselves what the truth is or we can take reference from someone who has already undergone the experience of it

Discuss all the things they do not want to let go of

One player stands blindfolded in the centre of the room. The other players stand in a circle or a line. The players then switch places in the circle and one leaves the room. The blindfolded player is spun around and then has their blindfold removed. They now have one minute to name the missing player. If the player guesses correctly, the person who left is blindfolded. If they do not guess correctly they are blindfolded again and repeat the process.
