Adiyen periodically narrates stories to children during stotrapatha classes to instill a sense of morality and knowledge of sampradaya in them. This session is on the concept of faith or vishvasa using modern analogies and in a manner kids can understand and ultimately ending up the session with a note on vishvasa in Emberuman.

As an attempt to make kids understand the importance of prapatti or surrender to Emberuman easily, while teaching the न्यासदशकम् – Nyasa dashakam of Swami Desika, this story was shared with them in an interactive manner.

This story is about the attitude of people in general to simply follow what others do without questioning the reason. Because of this attitude of people a beggar loses his copper vessel full of coins on the banks of Ganges. The hyperlinked audio describes his plight in a humorous manner. There is a verse in Sanskrit which summarises the crux of the story – गतानुगतिको लोकः न लोकः पारमार्थिकः । गङ्गासैकतलिङ्गेन नष्टं मे ताम्रभाजनम् ।।
In this story about three fish, the necessity to find solutions to problems in advance is taught. One should not leave to chance or destiny but try to solve the problems of life without delay. The hyperlinked story is about three fish among which one acts instantly, one depends on luck and the third gets caught because of indifference or procrastination.
During my stotra class for kids, occasionally I share stories that carry a moral message. The story is rendered by way of conversation with the kids, kindling their inquisitiveness and questioning skills. The hyperlinked audio file is on the topic आहारशुद्धौ सत्त्वशुद्धिः – Aaharashuddhau sattvashuddiH – is on the importance of food.
