Spirituality and Parenting

Life is a sacred and spiritual journey... we are sacred and spiritual beings and we can choose to embrace the perspective of parenting from the sacred place of our spirituality - the heart.

Bringing together Spirituality and Parenting can be a unique experience in parenthood....Despite our religious or cultural preferences, Spiritual parenting is about parenting with a compassionate and giving heart.

Sri Kalki often says that to be a parent is a sacred responsibility. You cannot just say that you want to have a child because you are fascinated by children. It is a responsibility; you bring down a soul to this planet. Parenting is a sacred art which has to be learned. It is such an important experience to be a parent.

A Poem for the love of every child….

Children are a blessing sent from God above

For us to care and nurture and most of all to love.

God calls us to be parents and gives us all the tools

And when we feel like giving up, our strength He will renew.

From childhood days to a child full grown

Their joys and hurts are a parent's own.

Times of joy and laughter and those times of tears

The times spent raising a child are surely the best of years.

There comes that time in life when a child will leave the nest

We must send them off with love and a prayer and leave to God the rest.

We've have shared the Word of God, we've taught them right from wrong

Now it's time to let them go and let them write their song.

There are many paths a child can take,

right or wrong will remain unknown

But rest assured that in the end, they all lead back to home.
