(Chapters 1 – 9, 38 Lessons)
Detailed instructions on using these Lesson Outlines are included in the Teachers Handbook (pages 56-61).
1. The Bhakti Sastri teacher should not normally teach directly from each Lesson Outline but use it to create his or her own unique Lesson Plan (possibly cutting and pasting from the corresponding Word Files — i.e. the ‘Lesson Outlines” and the corresponding “Book of Quotes”).

1.* The asterisk denotes that this verse (in this instance number 1) is a Key Thematic Verse
2.** The double asterisk denotes that this verse (number 2 here) is a
Key Memory Verse.
MP Main Point: This verse, or a point associated with it, is very important.
QT Quotes are to be found in the separate Book of Quotes.

SG Suggestions for the verse, or an associated point, to be found towards the end of the Lesson Outline.

(a) Recommended Focuses of Learning
This section relates key content within the lesson to our Course Aims. This is to assist the teacher in identifying appropriate Aims (and Objectives) for the lesson.
(b) Possible Learning Experiences
In this section of the Lesson Outline, we’ve taken one or more suggestions from the previous section and designed learning activities which you might find helpful. Use them as they are, amend them or write your own,
