Info

Venue & Schedule: Classes at Saaket will commence at 10:40AM and conclude at 11:10AM each Sunday that Baalvihar is in session. Registration: The registration will be free and “Per Group” basis. Progression through groups will be as per the rules laid out elsewhere in this document. At the time of registration, student will be required to purchase the Shlokathon plaque, Shlokathon book and audio CD. Student will also be required to supply a passport size photograph. Registration will start in 1 st week of September and classes for Fall 2005 will commence from September 18. Groups: Sequencing of the curriculum groups: All new students will start in group 1. For the students already in the program, Shlokathon co-coordinator will review the Chapters / Stotras they have completed (successfully tested), and decide the most appropriate group for them such that they have one full semester worth of load in that group. Program Rules: Group Chapter Teacher 5 Geeta Uma 4 Prakarna Stotrani Nitin Rahalkar 3 Vedanta Stotrani Anu Appaji & Kalpana Arvind Vishnu Shiva 2 Krishna Raman Rajgopalan Ganesh 1 Guru Vindhya Devalla Saraswati 1. Each student can register for only one group in a particular Baalvihar semester and attend classes only for the group he/she is registered. 2. All new students will register for group 1 to begin with. 3. Each student is required to memorize the Shlokas (part of the Stotra) completed in Page 2 of 3
the previous class session. 4. In fairness to other students, if a student misses a class, no make up class will be allowed, during any regular scheduled class. The student can make arrangement for the same out side of any regular Shlokathon class with the teacher. 5. Shlokathon Testing is Mandatory and is the ONLY way to earn the stickers for each chapter and the final trophy. Testing is a mandatory requirement to be eligible to register and attend classes at Saaket. The only way we can do justice to the effort invested by the students and teachers alike is to ensure that each and every student Graduates the program with a Trophy. 6. A student will be allowed a grace time of maximum one semester to successfully test for the Stotras covered in the previous semester. For example, when a student completes group 2, he/she will be allowed to register and attend classes of group 3 in the subsequent semester. However, the student MUST successfully test for all the Stotras of group 2 during the semester when he/she attends classes for group 3, failing which the student will NOT be allowed to register or attend classes for any other group in any semester, unless and until the Stotras of group 2 are successfully tested for. In other words only one semester of backlog is permitted. Thus, each student gets 2 consecutive semesters to test for any Stotra covered in the class – One in which the Stotra is taught and one immediately following. 7. At least one parent will attend the class with the student. This is crucial for ensuring that students get help from the parents at home in memorizing. This will enable student to progress quickly through the curriculum. 8. Testing will be conducted at Saaket, by the designated judges, on the designated Sundays, between 10:30AM and 11:10AM. 9. No Parent or Teacher is allowed to sit with the student, during testing. 10. In order to avoid disruptions during testing, all students are required to sit through the testing session, even after their testing is over. In the rarest case if a student is late for the testing session, then the student will be allowed to enter the testing room, only between the testing of 2 students. No student will be allowed to enter in the middle of chanting. 11. During testing, the judges will provide up to 3 prompts, if needed by the student. Beyond that the student will be asked to re-test that Stotra, during the next testing session. The judges’ decision will be final and binding. 12. Saaket is primarily a place of worship & spiritual learning. Therefore, each student is required to maintain the decorum of the place and will follow the instructions given by the teacher / judge to achieve this. Page 3 of 3
