    Hi, After getting setled abroad, would you still be interested in teaching your children Hindu God's slokas and mantras?
    This has been of recent interest to me because these slokas not just mere collection of lines but have the potential to impart rich knowledge and meaning. We are loosing a great deal by forgeting them, I feel. What do you people think? And another intersting fact is that, many foreigners are interested in learning slokas. What is your view on it???:)

    I live in bay area, CA. I know lots of kids from India learn solkas and attend BaLa Vihar.

    My kids are grown up, but hwn I was young I told them to have faith in God.

    I used to put my pay checks, tickets etc in the puja room. Even though they live here for a long time, I found out they do the same thing.

    I learned the solka without knowing the meaning. I wish they teach them with the meaning in Bala Vihars.

    Solkas give peace of mind and concentration.

    Peace Be with you.:coffee

    Not to hurt anybody's feelings.. nor that I belittle Slokas and related religious things.. but I am simply not interested in teaching them to my kid.

    Hi,
    I couldn't agree more. Slokas are equal to meditating. Give u peace and relaxation. It's really nice to hear that so many of our Indians in CA want to teach slokas to ur children... Why don't you try an online course instead, I know a site who is conducting really good sloka classes for children :)

    Hi,

    I would definitely encourage my children to learn slokas. I second Clari, they are like meditation. They carry postive energy while reciting and it's really good if our next generation can keep our traditions alive.

    @ Clari, unfortunately the link you provided has been removed but anyways I will google it :)

    Sowmya
