Vedic Heritage Teaching Programme - Introduction

Growing up in the modern society implies exposure to the global culture, being exposed to the media and having access to the world of Information Technology. Indian children living in the West as well as living in India need to study their heritage in an instructive and deliberate way if they are to imbibe it in their own lives. For decades, Indian parents in the West have felt the need to understand the significance behind their cultural and religious forms in order to educate their children.
