## Learning objective

By the end of this short session, learners can explain that Bhāva is an independent curated **devotional learning** portal that begins with child-friendly Krishna Book bedtime stories, keeps source fidelity and human review before public release, and is **not** an official BBT publication.

## Audience

- Facilitators: teachers, Sunday School, Gurukula / homeschool
- Learners: ages 10+ (with adult support for younger listeners)

## Materials (available now)

- Public Knowledge page: `/knowledge/what-is-bhava`
- Optional: Krishna Book story library — `/library/krishna-book`
- Optional: Printables hub for released story assets — `/printables`

## Session outline (20–30 minutes)

1. **Opening (3 min)** — Ask: “When you hear ‘Bhāva,’ what do you think it is?” Collect a few words without correcting yet.
2. **Read the guide together (8 min)** — Read the public What is Bhāva? Knowledge guide aloud or silently. Pause on three ideas: independent curated portal; Krishna Book bedtime stories; source fidelity + human review.
3. **Clarify the boundary (5 min)** — Discuss: Bhāva does not republish full copyrighted books and is not an official BBT publication. Why does that matter for trust?
4. **Practice (5–8 min)** — In pairs, each learner finishes one sentence:
   - “Bhāva helps families by …”
   - “Bhāva is careful about sources because …”
   - “Bhāva is not …”
5. **Closing (2 min)** — Invite one volunteer to share a careful, accurate summary in their own words.

## Facilitator notes

- Stay with the Knowledge guide. Do **not** invent scripture quotes or attribute teachings to sources that are not on the page.
- If learners ask for downloads: point to real Printables for released stories; this lesson plan itself has `downloadable: false`.
