THE SHINE PROGRAM
(Spiritual Heritage of India for Next-Generation Empowerment)

All parents want their children to be happy, confident, successful and grateful. Parents also want their children to have good values so that they can handle any situation in life. 

Children are full of questions and sometimes even grown-ups do not have the right answers. And these little, big questions need to be answered. If not answered, then self-doubt, inferiority and ignorance about one’s own culture creeps in. 

SHINE is a program specially curated for children (under 13 yrs) by Swamini Brahmaprajnananda Saraswati Ph.D who has dedicated her life to sharing the ancient teachings of oneness (Advaita Vedanta). A disciple of Pujya Sri Swami Dayananda Saraswati, she conducts courses of Vedanta across the world.

This program helps children to establish their spiritual foundation and empower them with the wisdom of the glorious Indian heritage. It also helps them to be rooted in the spiritual heritage of India and at the same time empowers them to fly as Indians and as global citizens.
