Parents Spirituality isn’t just about praying to God. It’s also about finding inner peace, practising gratitude, showing kindness, respecting others and being honest even when nobody is watching. ❤️
The intention behind teaching children these mantras should be to help them develop gratitude, kindness, faith and inner peace rather than simply memorising Sanskrit verses.
Here are 5 beautiful mantras you can introduce to your children from a young age:
1. Om Gan Ganapataye Namah
ॐ गं गणपतये नमः
Meaning: I bow to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles.
When to recite: Before starting school, a new activity or any important task.
2. Gayatri Mantra
ॐ भूर्भुवः स्वः ।
तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं ।
भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि ।
धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात् ॥
Meaning: May the divine light guide our intellect towards wisdom and goodness.
When to recite: During morning prayers.
3. Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya
ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय
Meaning: I bow to Lord Krishna, the divine.
When to recite: Before bedtime or during quiet prayer.
4. Asato Ma Sadgamaya
असतो मा सद्गमय ।
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय ।
मृत्योर्मामृतं गमय ॥
Meaning: Lead me from untruth to truth, from darkness to light and from mortality towards immortality.
When to recite: During evening prayers.
5. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः
Meaning: May there be peace within me, around me and everywhere.
When to recite: Whenever children feel anxious, before sleeping or after meditation.
Don’t teach all five mantras together. Start with one and make it a little daily ritual. Explain its meaning in words your child understands and practise it together.
The biggest gift we can give our children is not just teaching them to pray to God, but helping them develop faith, compassion, gratitude and a peaceful mind. ❤️
