Bloom Your Dharma invites children ages 5+ on a transformative 10-week journey through the sacred stories and profound symbolism of Hindu deities. From Ganesha's wisdom to Durga's courage, from Shiva's transformation to Hanuman's devotion — these course brings these divine beings to life in ways that are meaningful, inspiring, and deeply personal.

Through storytelling, reflection, and cultural exploration, students don't just learn about the gods — they discover the values and qualities these deities represent, and how to embody them in their own lives. By the course's end, each student will choose their favourite ‘Hindu Superhero’— a personal deity whose qualities resonate with their heart, creating a living connection to their heritage and spiritual path.

What You will Discover

• Sacred Symbolism

  • Decode the profound meanings behind divine forms, attributes, and vehicles — from Ganesha's mouse representing the conquest of ego to Shiva's trident symbolizing the three gunas.

• Timeless Stories

  • Journey through narratives of creation, protection, devotion, and wisdom that have guided seekers for millennia, discovering their relevance in today's world.

• Divine Qualities

  • See how devotion to deities cultivates real-world virtues: wisdom, courage, compassion, resilience, and the strength to face life's challenges with grace.

• Wisdom and Symbols

  • Learn how ancient Rishis encoded deep spiritual truths into symbols that continue to guide meditation, worship, and daily practice today.

• Personal Connections

  • Build your own relationship with the Divine by choosing an Ishta Devata — a cherished deity whose qualities inspire you to bloom into your highest self.
