Hindu Parenting in the USA

$15.00

Every Hindu parent in America knows this moment: Your child walks into school wearing a Diwali T-shirt or carrying a Krishna book, and you silently hope they will feel proud—not different. You want them to shine in this land of opportunity, yet stay rooted in the values your parents lovingly poured into you.
This book was born from that feeling.
Hindu Parenting in the USA is the story of how families like ours keep culture alive—through bedtime tales of Rama and Krishna, through shlokas whispered before school, through festivals celebrated in living rooms far from India. It shows how children can grow up grounded in dharma while embracing the best of American life.
With warmth and wisdom, this book helps parents raise children who are kind, confident, resilient, and deeply connected to their heritage.
Because our children deserve both: the wings to soar—and the roots to stay strong.
