Dharma, Duty, and Love: Raising Resilient, Mindful Kids
Target Audience: Parents, Guardians, and Caregivers of children aged 5-14
Conscious Parenting with The Bhagavad Gita
Parenting today is more complex than ever. We juggle overwhelming advice, digital distractions, academic pressure, and our children's big emotions, often while battling our own stress and exhaustion. We react instead of respond, often feeling lost, guilty, or disconnected.
This workshop offers a different way. We move beyond quick fixes and behavioral hacks to provide a deep, philosophical framework for parenting. The Bhagavad Gita, a conversation between a confused Archer (Arjuna) and his Divine Guide (Krishna), is a powerful blueprint for navigating life's dilemmas—including the daily challenges of raising children.
Our Approach – Wisdom, Not Rules
This is not a religious program. It is a practical guide that distills universal principles from the Gita to help you:
Understand your child's inner world and your owntriggers.
Shift from reactive policing to conscious guiding.
Build a home environment rooted in respect, purpose, and emotional resilience.
Parent from a place of calm strength instead of anxiety and control.

The Parent as the Guide, Not the Warrior
Concept
Your child's behavior is their "Kurukshetra" (battlefield); your role is to be their "Krishna" (guide), not another warrior in their fight
Key Learning
Identify your own parenting "Kauravas" (triggers like anger, fear, ego) and learn to respond from your "Pandavas" (wisdom, patience, compassion).
Tool

Concept
Shift your family culture from "Do this for a reward" to "Do this because it is your duty (Dharma) as part of this family."
