Hari Om,
I am dedicating this to all the parents, their love and the sincere efforts that they take to give what best that they can give to their children.
While all parents are very keen and are ready to go to every possible extent to make their children successful in life, miss out totally on recognizing the different mile stones in the life of their children and the varying changes and needs that children have as they grow.

Today modern psychological research on child development and pedagogy are trying to find the right ways to develop children into individuals who are healthy and happy individuals.
YOGA an ancient wisdom of the Vedic seers has profound insights about the development of children.
Samskara
In the households in India, we always narrate stories about our Deva-Asura Yuddha, The Itihasas, The Puranas,
These stories have a profound impact in the infant mind. The home is the first leaning field for a child! Parents and Family is the natural learning environment for the Jeeva!

The Yogic family creates an atmosphere of simplicity, hope, harmony, efficiency, and understanding. The yogic family promotes ideas of selflessness, self confidence well balanced with humility!
Family becomes a practicing field for caring for ALL, in which I am naturally included. This then is carried over to the society, humanity and whole creation.
Long before the intellect and individuality are developed, the yogic family provides a strong sublime base of possibilities.
Samskara means, education that happens intuitively without the need for intellect! The Yogic education focuses more on human development, prosperity and success become automatic and natural!
The values of the Yamas and Niyamas are enshrined as practical living experiences for the child, instead of being sermonised by some authority.
Elders in the family practice austerities and every growing milestone is celebrated as a samskara in the life of a child.
Beginning from Vivaha, even before being conceived, till dahana after being cremated, every moment of life is utilised to instill the importance of spiritual effort as primary goal of life!
The yogic family naturally brings these spiritual inputs, which the child imbibes effortlessly.
Let us revive this great yogic family culture!
