Parenting Course

More about the Course

All journeys are smoother with the right guiding systems. Embark on the journey to discover the secrets of effective parenting with Pujya Swami Swaroopananda (Global Head, Chinmaya Mission) as he takes us through every stage of parenting, from prenatal to self-parenting. Let us all gain the tool kit to transform parenting into the most beautiful and fulfilling experience!

Parenting is a sacred journey, starting even before the child is born. In this insightful 10-part series, Pujya Swamiji explores the profound role that parents play in shaping their child’s development—emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Each talk provides practical wisdom grounded in ancient Hindu traditions, with an emphasis on fostering a nurturing, loving and spiritually rich environment from conception onwards.

The series begins with Prenatal Insights – Part 1, where Pujya Swamiji delves into the importance of prenatal education, a practice deeply rooted in Hindu culture. He explains how the thoughts, emotions and spiritual practices of both the mother and father can influence the well-being of their unborn child. By understanding and applying these teachings, parents can enhance their child’s mental, emotional and spiritual growth even in the womb. Swamiji also shares timeless advice on how to maintain a positive and peaceful atmosphere, nurturing the child’s overall development and fostering a deep, intrinsic connection between parent and child from the very beginning.

This series offers parents, caregivers and educators a comprehensive guide to cultivating not just a healthy physical environment for their children, but one filled with spiritual richness, love and enduring values. With a blend of practical insights and deep Vedantic philosophy, Swamiji’s talks are designed to help parents raise children who are grounded, compassionate and spiritually aware.
