We are spiritual beings in a human experience. We believe that spiritual formation can be nourished throughout the day by natural, flowing experiences that are child-appropriate and active such as the following:

•  Chanting Omkar at Circle Time and repeating affirmations.
•  Listening to a Thought of the Day (e.g., “Do Good, See Good, Be Good”)
•  Participating in Hatha Yoga
•  Learning simple pranayama exercises
•  Silent sitting
•  Observing nature
•  Learning Simple Bhajans, Shlokas, Mantras
•  Making garlands, rangoli patterns.
•  Grinding sandalwood into paste
•  Arranging items on an altar.
•  Repeating a meal time prayer
•  Listening to stories from the Puranas, Gita, Ramayana, etc.
•  Seeing images of deities in the environment.
•  Taking “field trips” to the Mandir or going for Thursday morning Aarthi.
•  Acting out simple dramas from stories that teach values.
•  Encouraging kindness, compassion, tolerance and non-violence in our daily interactions.
•  Playing healing mantras at naptime.
•  Celebrating Hindu holidays.
•  Being in a loving environment
