Introducing the tradition to young children

Hello,

I have a 16 month old kid and I wonder in what ways you guys think the vedic/tantric tradition can be introduced to young children.

?


For now this is what I do with my daughter. (To clarify, I'm french and was raised an atheist, with Christian culture.)


  • I sometimes sing the sanskrit hymns I know, even partially

  • I painted a Saraswati icone for her during my pregnancy ( Saraswati felt right, and I later found out that this deity is often worshipped by children for knowledge acquisition and education related purpose.) I think I will add the yantra behind the canvas as well, so that she can use it for meditation. But I don't know much about yantras for now.

I say you should get yourself initiated first. Then get in touch with Achryaji over time. Thereafter, he'll guide you and specifically your child accordingly. I believe what you're doing right now is more then sufficient as 16 months is too young for anything else than this. You should refrain from making her chant mantras and wait for the right time and guidance. If possible, learning sanskrit yourself and teaching her from a young age is very much beneficial. That being said, you're doing good! May lord Shiva guide you ♥️

Next Course

Hello everyone, quick question: does anyone know when the next course after the Patanjali course starts? I couldn’t find any information anywhere.

I haven't seen anything concrete so far. Effectively, it seems we're on a bit of a 'summer break'. If you watch the final Q&A from the Patanjali course, I recall Acaryaji mentioning an interest in something related to Kālī, but no details beyond that.

Hello, friends. I recently started the Foundational Śaivism course and created these two translations of the Śivajñāna Bodham, from the Tamil and the Sanskrit. I always read them once before each

class. I’m sharing here both the Brazilian Portuguese and the English versions.

Thanks for sharing this. Very appreciated.

Hey Namah shivaya everyone, I am looking for a book called kaulpatrika( I might using wrong word)

Hey, Kaulpatrika is traditionally understood as a Kashmiri almanac-like text that gives month-wise guidelines on diet, herbs, and lifestyle to maintain health across seasonal changes. It aligns food and simple medicinal practices with environmental shifts. If Anyone is familiar with this type of books do tell please
