Hindu Emblems

Dharma

This program is suitable for pre-teens, grades 3 to 8 (pre-high school).

Below is the curriculum outline for the Dharma award:

  • Dharma
  • Karma
  • Incarnation
  • Bhakti

These four Hindu concepts are introduced at a very elementary level. The Bhakti section introduces the concept of worship at a basic level.

Kharma

This program is suitable for teenager and older, high school and young adults.

Below is the curriculum outline for the Dharma award:

  • Dharma
  • Artha
  • Kama
  • Moksha

These are the four canons of Hinduism. They are introduced at a more advanced level. The structure is more formal, and a constant interaction with adults is emphasized.

Several advanced concepts such as Suddha Karma, daily puja, mantra recitation, scripture reading, and studying are emphasized.

Each canon involves a student with an independent project, puja, and other things to do. The study is comprehensive in nature and allows both student and mentor to go in-depth to the level of their own abilities.
