What is it?

What is Sri Sri Sanskar Kendra?

Nuclear families, media and fast-paced life are quietly disconnecting children from our rich heritage. Sri Sri Sanskar Kendra brings it back — inspiring children to imbibe core values, develop their best qualities, and cherish the beauty and diversity of our culture.

Stories, shlokas, chanting, wonders, games, yoga and hands-on activities are at the heart of every session. They’re joyful, interactive and loving — complementing what children learn at school and bringing about all-round development, with a strong foundation of values.

“

My daughter is very happy with the program. The values were well-ingrained with short stories and mantras — even I did not know some of these mantras.

“

At such an early age my son knows so many shlokas and stories, and has started helping me at home. He loves going to these sessions.

The classes were wonderful — a combination of yoga, games, stories and shlokas, which I see my son applying in different areas.

My daughter has gone from a shy, introverted child to one who wants to touch the sky, with her feet on the ground.

Before you ask

Questions parents ask us most

What ages is it for?

The Foundation Program is for children aged 6 to 10. The Ramayan Program and Daily Shlokas run from 6 to 13.
So from 11 onwards, Ramayan is the option. Between 6 and 10 both are open, and then the choice is about what your child spends time on: Foundation ranges broadly across values, culture, yoga and life-skills; Ramayan goes deep into one epic. Compare the programs →

Which program should we start with?

If your child is 11 or older, Ramayan — Foundation runs only to 10.\
\
Between 6 and 10 either works. Many families do Foundation first and Ramayan afterwards, but that is a preference, not a rule. If your child already loves stories and can stay with one, Ramayan suits them; if you want an all-round start, Foundation does that.

Does my child need any prior knowledge?

None. Sessions assume no exposure to shlokas, yoga or the epics. Children who already know some of it simply go deeper.

There are so many online classes for children. This can be an added burden. Please guide.

These sessions are a healthy respite from standard online classes. Most parents share that their children look forward to coming to these sessions. Besides these provide a sattvik time.
