Shlokas Made Fun
The only course that makes
learning Sanskrit shlokas a ton of fun!
“Shlokas Made Fun” is a unique online learning experience designed to make a whole new generation of kids fall in love with their cultural heritage.
Can shlokas really be fun?
Sanskrit shlokas are nuggets of ancient wisdom — beautiful and timeless.
The old school way of teaching shlokas is to have kids memorize the lines and then parrot them back.
How do you think today's kids like that?
You guessed it… they find it instantly boring, uncool, and tune out.
So, back to Coco Melon then?
No no… wait! There's a better way.
A journey so fun and engaging that children fall in utter love with mantras and their essence!

We are constantly amazed
by the impact of the course!
Over 5000 kids and their parents have experienced “Shlokas Made Fun.” Here is some of what they have to say.
Ancient wisdom not taught in schools!
My son absolutely loved it! Priya and Varsha have turned something that might seem complicated and boring for kids into a super fun and engaging experience. I'm thrilled to have found this. Our kids deserve to learn about our ancient wisdom, which unfortunately is not taught in schools.
The stories even got me hooked!
Intricate stuff made super engaging! I wasn't sure how my daughter would like it, and to my surprise, she absolutely fell in love with the content. Priya and Varsha's delivery left her wanting more. She now recites the Shlokas every day. The best part are the stories, which even got me hooked.
Screen time well spent!
Dharaa remained glued to the screen throughout the course. She has learnt important values like honesty, caring for others, and being there for friends through shlokas. Everything was simple to follow yet super fascinating! As a parent I feel that this was screen time well spent.
She feels proud to be Indian!
Neha has always been curious about Indian culture. This course made her feel proud to be Indian. She still chants the shlokas she learned months ago and asks interesting questions about our Gods and Goddesses. We are exploring the answers together. Would highly recommend this course to all parents!
A modern appraoch to ancient traditions!
Your creative use of games and stories to explain the shloka and make it relevant was excellent. You've brought a part of our culture into their lives, even though we live outside of India. The modernized approach made it interesting while keeping its essence intact.
A perfect blend of laughter and learning!
Before the course, Rishi used to recite the shlokas with me like a chore, but now there's a noticeable change in his energy. This learning experience is unique with its incorporation of stories and activities. There's a perfect blend of laughter and learning throughout.
Great company on long journeys!
Nyra enjoyed the stories and the love and enthusiasm with which they were narrated. The beautiful depiction of the shlokas with hand gestures linked to classical Indian dance made the shlokas enjoyable and easy to recollect. The modules keep us great company when we travel long distances.
