Spiritual growth of children is as much important as physical, mental, and emotional growth of a child.  The whole intention of parenting is to help the child recognise his or her full potential and gain the ability to make the right choices in life.  While there is a lot of focus on assimilation of information and giving child the right knowledge but what about the wisdom to apply this knowledge at the right time and the right place? This wisdom and understanding comes from spiritual concepts. When you introduce the concept of self-awareness, aspect of humanity, love, patience, tolerance, and courage are a natural by product.  

Topics covered 

1. Importance of our understanding of spirituality. 

2. How do you introduce abstract concepts in a simple way? 

3. What has been your approach as a parent? 

4. What are some small changes that we can adapt so the parent child bond is strengthened?

Vedanta changed my life. Actually, it’s an incomplete and understated statement. In reality, Vedanta completely transformed me and gave me the tools to change my life. It empowered me. When I thought I had no more to look for, it expanded my celestial dimensions and gave me the infinite nothingness to play with. My learning accelerated. My desires diminished. My love expanded. My fears vanished. Vedanta Centre, Bourne End is very special as I first saw it in my dreams. First seven minutes is my experience. It was a privilege to speak to Swami Sarvasthananda, Minister-in-Charge, Ramakrishna Vedanta Centre, Bourne End, Buckinghamshire  about Vedanta.

PAST LIVES AND LESSONS FROM LIFETIMES

Spiritual wisdom opens its door when one is ready to receive it. The pace of inner growth depends on individual choices. The moment you wish to know more, you should know that your soul is ready and is waiting for you to sync your thoughts with your actions. The seed to learn about multiple dimensions sprouted in my heart years back. This year though, I felt that the force of teaching about the dimensions coming from the words that I was channelising had intensified. Something told me that I was now ready and as I lit the candle, I wished to be given a sign if the universe thought so too. As they truly say, The teacher appears when the student is ready,' I found my teaching coming through a book, A spiritual memoir, written by Dena Merriam, founder of Global Peace Initiative of Women.

The bizarre similarities in our spiritual experiences were a welcome treat after facing a lifetime of holding on to faith in something that only came as an experience through dreams and thoughts which I have written in The Voice of Kali. Following my gut feeling, I contacted Dena, sharing with her, in brief, the similar strange patterns of our lives and thanking her for sharing her journeys through numerous lifetimes. She graciously replied instantly, which led to this inspiring conversations podcast.

One word of advice here- do not get tangled in logic. Let the ocean of experiences flow past you. Hear them with the intention of learning, not questioning. Remember, they have come to you because you are ready to receive them. Pick what works for you, understand what those experiences mean to you in your journey and expand that knowledge in your life. This is all that is meant by spiritual evolution. Embracing someone’s experience and using that as a catalyst of inner transformation is all that needs to be done.
