Summer Camp 2019 - Day 4 - Summary


I woke up at 6:00am that day and I went to bathe. After finishing bathing and daily chores, I directly went to the Ashram to unfold the mats. Now it was time for Swamiji's vedic chanting.

Next came Shruthi Aunty's Yoga session. We then went for breakfast. They served breakfast which was not my favourite. We had an hour time left till the chanting session. I played cricket to pass time.
During chanting session, we chanted the Nama Ramayanam. Next came the talks about Goswamy Tulasidas, the one who wrote Ramayanam.

During the workshop, we discussed about communication. After workshop, we went for lunch where rice, lentin soup, rasam and curd were served. We then took rest for a span of two hours and went for Swamiji's talks on Sundarakandam.

Then we satisfied ourselves with some snacks and then played some out-door games. I played cricket. We had to go for the Aarti session where we chanted many Bhajans. Now it was time for indoor games. We played Dumchareds and our group came 3rd. Later we sang camp song and then we went for dinner. We, then trudged along the grass and played for sometime, then went to sleep.

I learned a lot in only a few short weeks thanks to the lab supervisors, Srinithi mam and Kathiresan Sir...
