LC: Know what guidance Hindus might find from the stories of Krishna.
What have we already learned about Hindu beliefs?
Did you remember?
* Hindus believe in one God (Brahman) who can be worshipped in many forms.
* These forms (the deities) have different qualities and are portrayed in different ways.
* Hindus believe that it is important to show devotion to the deities.
* Hindus might worship at a Mandir and/or the home shrine using special symbolic objects.
* How and why Hindus might celebrate Raksha Bandhan.
* Aspects of the celebration which remind Hindus of their dharma (an individual's duty fulfilled by observance of custom or law).
* How stories might be used to teach Hindu children about dharma.
We are going to explore what guidance Hindus might find from the stories of Krishna.
Krishna is believed to be an incarnation (avatar) of the God Vishnu. His role on earth is to protect and preserve his devotees.
Read each story, then write down what guidance you think Hindus might think it gives them about how they should live their lives.
