Description
Every child has a natural curiosity to know and understand the various facets of life. This holds true for religion as well. His young mind is constantly looking for answers to questions like:
Who created the Universe?
What or who is God?
The imparting of spiritual knowledge and moral values through normal teaching methods can be very boring for children! However, the importance of this knowledge cannot be dismissed. Many of us have been faced with the query-Where have ethics and moral values vanished, along with depleting forests and environments? To restore these, we need to inculcate strong moral values in Children.
As adults, even though we may have forgotten many of the scientific and mathematical theories and applications we learnt in school, the values inculcated in us by our parents can never be eroded. To inculcate such values, we need to develop means and tools which could be used to facilitate such learning. Towards this objective, we present this book.
Who is God?
Who created the Universe?
What is Religion?
Is there one God or many Gods?
Answers to these and many other such questions are there in the book. Sincere efforts have been made to make an easy, illustrative work of interesting stories about creation, spiritualism and moral values for children!
We believe that this book is a must read for children and a good buy for parents who want their children to know what the great religion, Hinduism, is all about.
