Amrita Academy of Arts and Spirituality AAAS , started the Sydney Chapter in 2023 following the foundation laid by the Melbourne Chapter few years ago. What started as a conversation, today, has a small number of eight eager children between the ages of 5 and 11 years, attending weekly Online Chanting & monthly Scripture classes.
Amma's teaching on How to look after children - "The first thing parents should attend to is the character of their children. They should teach them good behaviour, and this means instructing them in spiritual matters. The parents should tell their children stories that teach moral principles, and they should train them to do japa and meditation. By doing sadhana (spiritual practices), the intelligence and memory of the child will greatly improve. They will also be well behaved. They will progress spiritually and will also be materially successful in life."
Drawing on this philosophy, the program is designed to inspire children to become spiritually aware at a young age. This is done through storytelling and creative art making based on the rich heritage of Hindu Mythological stories and the symbolic significance of the various characters, their virtues and morals.
Enrolment is now OPEN for new students starting on the auspicious VIJAYADASHAMI day , 0ctober 20th, 2024. For further enquires, please contact us on, [email protected]
