Mahabharata Classes for Kids in Birmingham
The Mahabharata, where nobody is simply right
The Mahabharata is the harder epic and the more useful one. Almost every character does something indefensible, and the text does not tidy it up. For a child of ten or twelve, that is exactly the point — it is the first story they meet where the good people are also wrong, which is how the rest of life turns out to work.

The Mahabharata, where nobody is simply right
This class is not the Ramayana with different names. The Ramayana shows a child what an ideal looks like; the Mahabharata shows what happens when ideals collide. We recommend it from about eight upwards, and it is deliberately more argumentative than anything else we teach.
Birmingham has one of Britain’s largest South Asian populations, with Hindu, Sikh and Gujarati communities that go back to the 1950s and 60s, and the Sri Venkateswara Balaji temple at Tividale nearby. Many families here are second or third generation, and the request is often for a grandchild to learn what a grandparent never formally taught.

“Living in California, we worried our kids would lose their roots. The online Shloka and Gita classes changed that. They chant every morning now, and understand what the words mean.”
