Hindu Values

Discover timeless Hindu wisdom through captivating scriptural storytelling, foundational shlokas, and engaging activities and games that build character and understanding of our rich customs.

Hindi Language

Develop proficiency in reading, writing, and conversational Hindi, connecting your child to their mother tongue and a vital part of their cultural identity.

Indian Instruments

Introduce your child to the joy of devotional music by learning Dholak, Manjira, and Harmonium with simple bhajans, sparking spiritual interest and appreciation for our instrumental heritage.

Empowering Our Children With Their Heritage

As Indian parents, we deeply understand the desire to pass on the timeless Hindu values and rich cultural heritage we grew up with. In today’s fast-paced world, while our children excel academically, true success is rooted in strong character and a deep connection to their roots.

Shiksha is designed to bridge this gap, offering a vibrant Sunday School experience that instills kindness, respect, perseverance, compassion, and a sense of responsibility – values essential for thriving anywhere in the world.

What Our Parents & Children Are Saying

I wanted my daughter to grow up with her culture — Shiksha makes it fun and engaging. She looks forward to it every Sunday!

It’s the only place in Austin where my son sings bhajans
and learns Hindi. He’s growing up so proud of who he is.

Shiksha is not just a class, it’s my child’s vital connection to Hindu culture and a wonderful community.

Seeing my child’s progress in Hindu values and their confidence grow is truly heartwarming. This is exactly where we need the help as we raise our kids.
