Swamiji answers - 13 - Inspiring Children

[Guest guest]

Question from Kaliananda:

Beloved Guruji,

Namaste!

Pranam at Your Beloved Lotus Feet.

My grand-daughter, Kanya, is now 7 months old and when she visits I always

take her to the altar and at times sit with her on my lap during worship and so

on. Please teach me how I could be the instrument to instill one positive thing

in this little Kanya's life that would keep her through life in the light of

God.

Thank you for your time.

Kaliananda

 

Swamiji's response:

The greatest teaching we can give to our young ones is our example. Every time

she comes into your association, you can offer her prasad, tell why it is

different from a snack, you can invite her to worship with you, teach her to say

a mantra, tell her a story, invite her to help you prepare food for the Gods...

The list is endless.

Many thanks Guriji.

 

Pranam.
