How to connect children to the roots of Sanatan Dharma: In today's busy life, children are so entangled in the world of mobile phones, video games, and the internet that they do not understand the importance of their religion and traditions. Earlier, when children used to be connected to God, religion, and culture through their grandmother's stories, now, due to technology, they are getting away from these things.

In such a situation, it is the responsibility of every parent to connect their children to the roots of Sanatan Dharma from childhood so that they can develop values, faith, and religious thinking. In the modern era, it is natural for questions about religion to arise in the minds of children. They ask Who is God? Why should we worship? Why should we go to the temple? If we answer these questions in simple words and explain them with our behavior, then children will automatically be attracted to religious thoughts.

Tell religious stories to children.
Children love to listen to stories. If you tell them stories like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Shri Krishna Leela, and Shiva Purana in an interesting way, then interest in religion will arise in their minds. Also, these stories will give them good values. Through stories, they will understand the importance of truth, religion, charity, and duty.

Create an atmosphere of worship and aarti at home every day
If worship is done every morning and evening in your house, bells ring, lamps are lit, and aarti is done, then children will also automatically adapt to that environment. They will also learn to worship, fold their hands, and bow to God by watching you. This learning will be useful for them throughout their life.

Take children to the temple.

Take your children to a nearby temple at least once a week. They will like the peaceful and devotional atmosphere there. When they see the idols of God, priests, and aarti there, they will also feel like worshipping.

Involve them in fasts and festivals.
Whenever there is a fast or festival in the house, involve children in it too. Like on the occasion of Holi, Deepawali, Janmashtami, Ganesh Chaturthi, etc., make them light lamps and offer flowers. Tell them why we celebrate these festivals. This will increase their knowledge, and they will connect with their religion.

Connect them with religious books and children's cartoons
Nowadays, beautiful cartoons of Ramayana, Mahabharata, Shiv Puran, etc. are available for children in the market. Gift them these books. This will make them interested in reading them, and they will learn about religion.

Show good religious content on mobile and TV.
If children want to watch a movie or TV, then show them serials or animation movies like Bal Gopal, Shri Ram, and Mahadev. This will also increase their religious knowledge and create love for God in them.

Be an example by your conduct.
Children learn the most by watching their parents. If you yourself worship daily, take the name of God, and read religious scriptures, then children will also do the same by watching you. Therefore, first, you yourself should become their biggest role model. In today's modern life, it is not easy to connect children with religion, but it is not impossible either. All you need is to give a little time and explain to them with love. Bring your children close to religion, sanskar and God from a young age so that they remember their culture and tradition even when they grow up.
