Guest guest Posted May 2, 2000 Report Share Posted May 2, 2000 Further to the postings of Kedar we can only add. " Grand Stuff " Kedar. Swami Vivekananda said explain the concepts of Atman even so that a child of 5 can understand them. These teachings of 'Atman' are the grandest thing we possess. We take great delight in passing out such teachings to all youngsters. All age groups (from the age of 4 onwards). From all backgrounds -Eastern or Western. We have found that these youngsters take great delight in such teachings. In fact we have found that all teachings of Vivekananda make spirituality viable for any age group.
