Dear Indri and Krishna,

 

Thank you so much for your time, support and care in delivering our year 3 Hindu day yesterday.

 

The children loved the day. I was able to pop in for some of it and it was good reviews all round. I am sure the day will be something the children will remember for years to come.

 

Thank you for being so flexible and ready to go with the flow when you came in. The teachers enjoyed participating in the day with their classes too.

 

We appreciate all of your time, resources and enthusiasm in helping to make the day so special for our year 3 pupils.

 

Kind regards,

Hi Krishna

 

We were absolutely thrilled to welcome Indri back to our school.  The children and staff were enthralled by all he had to show and say.  The hall looked spectacular and the children loved wearing the shawls.

All classes have a much better understanding of Hinduism and also what India is like.  They loved hearing Indri’s stories.

 

After the workshop, children were inspired to make their own garlands and dancing sticks have been tapping away!  The books we bought are a wonderful addition to our library.

 

Many thanks for a fabulous day and we look forward to seeing you again.

 

Best wishes

Hello Krishna,

What a fantastic day! Our Ks1 children and our staff really enjoyed today. Our children were so engaged in the workshop today and our staff came back with some really positive feedback about the morning. We will definitely recommend yourselves and will definitely see you again next year for when we plan our next multi-cultural week!

Thanks again,

Hi Krishna,

It was lovely to meet you too, and put a face to the emails.

The Hinduism workshop was brilliant, as always. The kids have been raving about it a lot, they absolutely loved it, so thank you so much to Indri for coming in and delivering the sessions yet again. I’m not sure on the date for next year yet as the calendar hasn’t been verified yet. But as soon as I am, I will absolutely email you to book you in, thank you. And I will be sure to pass your details onto others, with the highest of recommendations.

Thanks again and best wishes,

Dear Krishna and Indri,

Many thanks for another magnificent day exploring Hinduism. The children were buzzing as they left the Academy and the staff were delighted that their Hinduism topics this half term are either launched or have been celebrated in such rich and colourful style.
Hope the journey back to Nottingham was straightforward.
I will ask Vicky to share your website details with the other Headteachers in the Trust.

Many thanks again,

Hi Krishna,

Thank you again for the workshop, I have spoken to the Year 6 teachers and they and the children had really enjoyed it. The children were completely engaged throughout and it was altogether a very enjoyable and interesting morning.

Will be in contact about booking next years and will recommend you at an RE network meeting.

Thank you,

Harriet.

5TH MARCH, 2019 – MAHA SHIVARATRI

/in /by

Shivaratri is the Hindu festival celebrating Lord Shiva.  Ratri’ means night, and Shivaratri celebrations take place during the night.  There are twelve Shivaratris in a year, one occurring each lunar month.  However, Maha Shivaratri, meaning “the great Shivaratri”, occurs just once a year on the 13th night of the waning moon in the Hindu month of Phalguna (February-March).  Shivaratri nights are considered a time when darkness and ignorance in one’s life and in the world can be overcome by prayer and an all-night vigil (jagaran).  Offerings are made to Shiva of fruits, leaves, sweets and milk.  For the monthly Shivaratris, the following day, devotees perform all-day fasting and worship of Shiva, and some perform meditative yoga.  In Shiva temples, “Om Namah Shivaya”, the sacred mantra of Shiva, is chanted throughout this day.  Maha Shivaratri celebrations will run, in a similar vein, from three to ten days.

Dear Krishna,

I hope you are well?

Please could you pass on our thanks to Indra for coming today. I had to get back to lessons so I didn’t quite see him as he left. The children had a very worthwhile morning with him and it was all very much appreciated by myself and our Year 5 children. We all learnt something new and we had some fun!

Many thanks

Best wishes to you and your team.

Indri was amazing. What a lovely gentleman to speak to. His resources and organisation was excellent. He gave us some lovely feedback too. We will definitely be organising another celebration of living in a multi-faith society next academic year. Once I know when I will definitely get you booked in.

 Thank you for all of your help in organising it.

Dear Krishna

We had the most wonderful day yesterday as always.  The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and have learnt lots of new things.  The day is always so well balanced with the right mix of educational content and fun!  The wide selection of excellent resources kept all the children engaged.  This is our third year and we will be booking again for next year soon.

Many thanks to yourself and Indri
