This is the second volume of this Comprehensive Study guide of Srimad Bhagavatam for young readers. Mother Aruddha did a magic again to help us and our children to be raised in a full Krishna conscious way from the very beginning. It comes from her deep conviction in the words of Srila Prabhupada, that we can learn everything from his books, especially from the Srimad Bhagavatam.She has developed a curriculum based on Srimad Bhagavatam, when she was raising her own 2 children and now she shares all her life-long experiences with all those who are interested to walk this path.

Her methodology of studying Srimad Bhagavatam is based on interactive reading and discussion, which is the most important part of the process. Sitting together with the children, they read the Srimad Bhagavatam verses together , taking their turns and then summarizing the points and discussing the contents. Great sages of Ancient Indian have been doing this for thousands of years, so why would it not work for the people of Kali-yuga.

By using Srimad Bhagavatam as the basic text, the children can learn all aspects of language arts, composition, comprehension and vocabulary, along with critical thinking and analytical reasoning. They not only get to know the vedic stories, but learn all aspects of grammar, art and culture all along.

The particular volume consists of chapters 11-20 of the first canto of Srimad Bhagavatam. Each chapter starts with the story summary, which is followed by Key messages, quiz for understanding the story, including the higher-thinking questions, and then the chapter continues with different activities – analogy activities to bring out the scholar in the children, artistic activities to reveal their creativity, critical thinking activities to bring out the spiritual investigator in the children, writing activities to bring out the writer in them,…. The chapter further goes into simple games and cross-word puzzles, poems, coloring pictures, leporellos etc.

This is a book for everyone and one not to be missed in anyone’s library.
