Lessons from the Gita for Children & their Parents Dec 13 - 19

"Lessons from the Gita for Children & their Parents" was presented by JKP Dallas Center.

Bhagvad-gita is also known as Gitopanishad. It is the essence of Vedic knowledge and one of the most important Upnishads available in kaliyug. Although there are many commentaries in various languages on the Bhagvad-gita but there remains a quest to always learn more.

During the spring, summer and winter breaks this year, devotees of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj at the JKP Dallas Center organized three 7-day long camps for children and their parents in Irving, Plano and Dallas. All the camps had overwhelming response from adults and kids.

These camps were presented by Swami Nikhilanand, a pracharak of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj who lives at JKP Barsana Dham, founded by Shree Swami Prakashanand Saraswati, and main focus of the camps were to impart to the Hindu kids growing in North America salient information about Hindu religion and culture aimed at developing the spiritual side of their personality which is often ignored in the hustle bustle of today's environment. Each day Swami Nikhilanand taught a unique topic about Hinduism in concurrent sessions to adults and children. These camps provided a classroom format learning experience with lots of GAMES, role-plays, score-cards and tons of cool prizes to win, absolutely FREE.

Last week, Swami Nikhilanand, a pracharak of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, presented yet another such camp based on the teachings of the Gita in Flower Mound from Dec 13th to Dec 19th.
