“Children embody all that we cherish: innocence, forgiveness, friendliness, joy, caring & sharing, creativity & unconditional love. It is important that we have value education for every generation to revive, renew, and re-implement what one generation has learned.”

Ramayan Programs

Ramayan is not just a story that happened long ago; it has a philosophical, spiritual significance, and a deep truth in it.
Ramayan has a treasure of values for children. Sri Ram is the most magnificent role model who leaves an ever-lasting impression in each child’s heart. The entire life of Maryada Purushottam (Supreme human who is an embodiment of virtues) Sri Ram is an ideal for every human being, and Ramayan is a saga of his life.
Sri Sri Sanskar Kendra’s modules on Ramayan enable children to experience the great epic in a simple, rich, interesting, and personal manner. Children imbibe values, feel enriched, and develop a strong foundation.

What do Parents have to say about the programs?
My daughter is very happy with the program. The festivals were well-described with short stories and mantras. I don’t even know some of these mantras. I feel very happy when she tells me. I am very happy to have sent her to SSSK.
Through Sri Sri Sanskar Kendra, Nityan, at such an early age, knows so many shlokas and stories, and has started helping me at home. He loves going to these sessions.
The classes were wonderful with a combination of yoga, games, stories, shlokas, which I see my son applying in different areas. He also tells home remedies learnt in the sessions.
Brishaa has reformed from an introvert and shy child to an open girl who wants to touch the sky with her feet grounded.
I am interested but I still have some questions…
Generic Programs
Sri Sri Sanskar Kendra offers two holistic yet different modules in a loving, interactive and celebrative environment.
Modules on Ramayan are based on the epic Ramayan, which is a treasure of values for children. In these fun-filled, interactive sessions, children feel empowered and build a deep sense of reverence. The program is available as an integrated offline and online module (Ramayan Part A and Ramayan Part B). Age group: 6 to 13 years.
The Foundation Program Modules [M1 (offline) and M1-A and M1-B (online)] help children imbibe values and wisdom, creating a strong base for their life. Each session revolves around a set of core human values through inspiring stories and meaningful shlokas/ dohas. Age group: 6 to 13 years.
These sessions are a healthy respite from standard online classes. Most parents share that their children look forward to coming to these sessions.
Foundation Programs
Both online modules (M1-A and M1-B) are extensions of each other with different sets of values covered in each module. This is the unique differentiator. Each one is enriched with its own set of shlokas, chants, activities, and various other elements of the program. One can attend these programs in any order.
The primary content of both online and offline modules are the same for children of 6 to 10 years. The sessions include inspirational stories, shlokas, mantras, dohas, ‘dadi ma ke nuskhe’, wonders of our culture, chanting, yoga, games, activities and celebrations, all in a loving and interactive environment.
In the online mode, modules M1A and M1B complement one another, where each module has 8 sessions of 1 hour each. While in the offline program module M1 is covered in 12 sessions of 2 hours each.
Offline/ online have their own merits. Parents can choose them based on the availability and convenience of their children.
Sri Sri Sanskar Kendra Modules are well-rounded programs. Apart from shlokas and stories, there are many more elements like ‘dadi ma ke nuskhe’, yogasanas, wonders of our rich traditions and mantra chanting. Group interactions enable children to learn from each other and experience a deeper impact of values such as belongingness, compassion, respect, sharing, and honesty.
Ramayan for Children
The two parts of the module on Ramayan (Part A and Part B) together cover the complete story. Part A covers the first few Kandas (Cantos) from Sri Ramcharitmanas. The remaining Kandas (Cantos) are covered in Part B. Each interactive session includes Ram Katha with soulful listening, recitation and learning of chaupais/ dohas (with specially made videos), vishesh gyaan, games, activities, yogasana, meditation and celebrations. Children need to attend them in sequence. As the story unfolds, Part A is followed by Part B.
Along with the story (Ram Katha), the focus is on the values exhibited by the various characters and events in the Katha, inspiring children to emulate these values in their life. Through recitation of chaupais and dohas from Sri Ramcharitmanas, supported by special videos, interest and respect are generated for our rich culture and ancient texts. We also have meditation, yoga asanas, games, and activities in each session. Learning becomes much easier and more fun in a group, leaving a lasting impression.
