Self Discipline and Focus
This lesson, inspired by the Bhagavad Gita and the story of Drona and Arjuna, teaches children the power of focus, self-discipline, and attentive learning. Through Arjuna’s single-minded concentration on the eye of the bird, children learn that when the mind is calm and focused, clarity and confidence arise.

The Nature of Self
The Bhagavad Gita teaches that our true Self - called Atman - is more than our body, thoughts, or appearance. While our bodies grow and change, the inner Self remains steady and whole. Through this lesson, children are gently guided to understand that who they truly are is found in qualities such as kindness, courage, curiosity, and compassion. By recognising the light within themselves, they also learn to see and respect the same light in others, fostering confidence, empathy, and a deeper sense of belonging in the world.
