Understanding Our Traditions – A Special Session for Parents & Children

Understanding Our Traditions – A Special Session for Parents & Children Instead of simply asking children to follow traditions, it is important to help them understand why these traditions exist, the values and thoughts behind them, and how they connect to their lives today. This special session by Pujya Shri Mangesh Phadke Ji will provide valuable guidance to children and parents, helping families better understand our traditions and answer children’s questions with greater clarity. Parents are encouraged to attend with their children. 📅 Saturday, October 10, 2026 ⏰ 10:00 AM 📍 Delta College – Mountain House Campus, Room 203 2073 Central Pkwy, Mountain House, CA 95391 मुलांना परंपरा फक्त पाळायला सांगण्याऐवजी, त्या का आहेत, त्यामागचा विचार काय आहे आणि तो त्यांच्या आजच्या जीवनाशी कसा जोडला जातो, हे समजणे आवश्यक आहे. पालकांनाही मुलांच्या प्रश्नांना अधिक स्पष्टपणे उत्तर देता यावे, यासाठी पू. श्री. मंगेश फडके यांचे हे सत्र निश्चित मार्गदर्शक ठरेल. पालकांनी आपल्या मुलांसह जरूर उपस्थित राहावे. शनिवार, १० ऑक्टोबर २०२६ सकाळी १०:०० वा.
