Discover Hinduism with Joy, Pride, and Purpose!
A Joyful Journey Through Hinduism—For Children Ages 6 to 13
As Hindu parents and grandparents raising children in America, we often ask:
How can we pass on the wisdom of Sanatan Dharma to the next generation?
We want our children to know more than rituals. We want them to understand the meanings behind mantras, the values behind stories, and the deep peace that comes from knowing who they truly are. We want them to feel proud of their Hindu identity—not just as something inherited, but as something joyfully lived.
That heartfelt desire is what inspired this book—Learning Hinduism: A Step-by-Step Guide for the New Generation.
Written especially for children aged 6 to 13 who are growing up outside India, this warm and engaging book offers a clear, joyful introduction to Sanatan Dharma, commonly known as Hinduism. With easy-to-understand language, vibrant cultural insights, and reflection-based activities, it helps young readers explore:
-
What is Hinduism, and what is Sanatan Dharma?
-
What does it mean to be a Hindu child growing up in America?
-
The meaning behind our gods, goddesses, and epics
-

-

-

The book includes 15 inspiring chapters that can be used at home, in Bal Vihar classes, at Hindu temples, in interfaith education, or as part of Hindu school programs. It’s also a thoughtful gift for birthdays, Diwali, or religious milestones.
Bonus Resources Included:
