Hari Om!
June 2nd was the last day of balavihar, so our 6th grade class decided to have a picnic at Reichler Park, behind the South Brunswick Municipal Building. Everyone was supposed to arrive at the middle school at 9:00 a.m. From the middle school, everyone set foot to reach the great park. I was the first one on the swings. It felt like a year for my other classmates to arrive. When they arrived though, everybody either was on the swings, at the basketball court, on a tree, or at the slides. After a while, our teachers called us to the main tables to eat some delicious food. My personal favorite was the ice cream sandwiches. They were really good. After that, we resumed our normal activities as we had done when we arrived. I started playing basketball with my friends and that was fun. I took a water break in the middle of the game but couldn't find my water bottle. I then searched the area until I realized it was in my pocket the entire time. After telling my friends about the incident, my friends started, at first a chortle, then a chuckle, then finally into a huge laugh. The year really has come to a great end. I must thank our teachers Ram uncle, Asha aunty, Jayshree aunty, and Vyjanti aunty for their great teaching in the Mahabharata and Bhagwad Geeta and their guidance in life lessons. We should remember these life lessons my 6th grade classmates, because 20 years from now, Ram uncle will ask us a question from the Mahabharata, Geeta, or life lessons. Have a great summer and return next year for balavihar.

Journey of Grade 6........Mahabharata....... reaches it's destination
Last days of War, Krishna Avataram Ends, Pandavas go to Heaven
Section 1 and 2:
After a gap we're back with our final blog of the year! On May 19th we concluded the Epic Mahabharata. Our teachers hope that the we would continue to read the stories now and then....
Last days of War
The Mahabharata war lasted for 18 days. On the 16th day, after the death of Drona, Karna became the commander of the Kaurava army. The battle between the 2 greatest archers Karna and Arjuna took place. Prodded by Krishna who kept reminding Arjuna about the injustices by Karna and the Kauravas, Arjuna shot an arrow that killed Karna. Karna was a great hero of Mahabharata but he was a victim of circumstances.
After 18 days of war the Kaurava Army is defeated with the death of Duryodhana. Yudhistra becomes king of Hastinapur. He visits Bhishma who is lying on the bed of arrows waiting for the right time to give up his body. He gives Yudhishtra a lot of advice on values and duties of a King.
Dhritrashta, Gandhari and Kunti retire to the forest.
End of Krishnaavatharam
When Lord Krishna returns to Dwaraka after the war, he was sad to know that the Yadava Clan had taken to bad ways and was declining in morals, values etc. This was due to a curse. One day he sat under a tree and went into meditation. A Hunter mistook his foot for an animal and shoots an arrow. Severly injured Bhagwan gives up his body. Thus ended the Krishna Avatar.
Pandavas go to Heaven
Pandavas ruled Hastinapura for 36 years. They then crowned Parikshit as the king and left on a pilgrimage with Draupadi. A Dog followed them. When they reached the Himalayas, one by one fell dead due to exhaustion. The dog who was none other than Dharmaraja himself lead Yudhishtra to heaven.
