The Inner Student...
There's something about fall that evokes the inner student in all of us. The desire to be organized eclipses the carefree lifestyle of summer.
As your kids head back to school, time for "cultural education" dwindles - but whether it's snack-time, car-time or quiet-time, learning about culture should always be a special and fun time!

Mantras for Children |
|
|
--------------------------------- |
|
Listening to and reciting mantras is thought to be therapeutic to the mind and body. They are meant to be learned through repetitive hearing. We bring to your attention a true gem: Naman - Mantras for Children. Recited by Ratan Mohan Sharma (who has a great voice) and repeated by a chorus of children, this pedagogical approach is a catchy and well-organized presentation for kids.
