Conversion & The Hindu Child

Conversion & The Hindu Child

Author: Hindu Parenting August 11, 2023 Duration: 45:27

In this episode, we address the issue of conversion. We talk to Sruthi about her experiences, the questions she had that her parents couldn’t answer, her story of conversion and how she came back to Hinduism in just two and a half hours of logical conversation with Acharya ji of Aarsha Vidya Samajam.

The movie The Kerala Story is based on the accounts of many girls like Sruthi. Hindu parents need to listen carefully and learn from these stories, because it is both our right and our duty to raise our children to carry on the Sanatana Parampara.

Hear Sruthi’s message for young people and the state of Hindu Samaj today. Sruthi’s story is also found in the book The Story of A Reversion.

This podcast is mainly in MALAYALAM, hence we have a video with ENGLISH subtitles that non-Malayalam speakers can watch.

Finding your footing as a parent within a rich cultural tradition can feel both deeply meaningful and surprisingly complex. The Hindu Parenting Podcast sits with you in that space, offering thoughtful conversations that go beyond simple advice. Each episode explores the everyday realities of raising children while consciously nurturing their connection to Hindu values, philosophy, and heritage. You’ll hear from parents, educators, and community members sharing their personal journeys, practical challenges, and small victories. The discussions might cover how to naturally introduce concepts like dharma or seva into family life, navigate festivals and stories in a modern context, or foster a genuine sense of identity and belonging. This isn’t about dogma, but about building a thoughtful, resilient framework for your family. Hosted by Hindu Parenting, the podcast serves as a companion for those wanting to raise informed, grounded children who feel a sense of pride and continuity as part of a living civilization. Tune in for authentic dialogue that acknowledges the questions as much as it seeks answers, all centered on the real-world work of nurturing the next generation.
