Instructional Materials

For children in the 5-7 year age bracket, we will use the Purna Vidya series to cover:

  • Puja & Prayers
  • Part 1 – Panchatantra for the young
  • Part 2 – Puranic Tales for the young
  • Part 3 - Ramayana

    • ShivaMats 

    A key method for teaching children will be through the use of an innovative combination of yoga and meditation instruction as well as academic instruction through the use of specially designed worksheets called ShivaMats.  These worksheets combine art, science, and some instruction for yoga and meditation.  Click below for an example.

    These mats will be used for instruction as well as for homework.  The mats contain games, stories, diagrams, and also Hindi letters.
