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 ♥️
