Author: Hindu Parenting February 13, 2025 Duration: 1:12:56

Marriage is the most important decision a human being will make in life, so we need to put at least as much thought into it as we do preparing for exams and a career.

Parents must guide young Hindus through finding a suitable partner and being happily married. Episode #49 of the Hindu Parenting Podcast, a conversation with Shri. Shankar Kumaran is a must-listen episode for young Hindus and parents alike.

Shri Shankar Kumaran, Founder of Life Education Institute, is a counselor and coach who has worked with many young people, including married couples, and helped them have happy marriages. Shri Kumaran was educated in the traditional Gurukula style, which gave him a deep knowledge of Sanskrit and the shastras. At the same time, he holds a degree in psychology and has worked successfully with modern couples.

In this podcast, he gives significant insights into the Hindu vivaaha and the secrets of a happy marriage. What do young people need to know before looking for a life partner? What can you do as a parent to ensure your child will have a happy marriage?

On the eve of Valentine’s Day today, encourage people to listen to this special podcast to understand marriage better.

Listen to the complete podcast and share it with all Hindus - young people and parents.

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.
