Hello! I'm Pavithra Aravind, the founder of Shri Vihar, a spiritual
initiative dedicated to imparting devotional Slokas, Bhajans, and
essential life practices through captivating stories from revered
epics such as the Ramayana and Mahabharata. What began in 2019 as a
modest endeavor with a few local children has blossomed into a
cherished community tradition, fueled by the enthusiastic
participation of both kids and their families.
My passion lies in nurturing young minds and helping them discover and
develop their talents. The children from Shri Vihar have had the
opportunity to showcase their skills by reciting various Slokas,
including Ashtakams and Pancharatnams, at events like Ganesh Chaturthi
celebrations at Sri Ganesha Temple in Dallas, TX, as well as other
special occasions.
I seek the blessings of Lord Venkateshwara to grant me the wisdom and
strength needed to continue this meaningful journey.
Sloka classes are offered online as well as in-person. The class
syllabus is given below:
September to October — Each week, 4 lines of slokas will be
taught from simple ashtakams. Examples: Krishna ashtakam and
Linga ashtakam
November to January — Each week, 4-6 lines of sloka will be
taught. Examples: Stotras like Ashtalakshmi Stotram and Dhukka
nivarana Ashtakam
February to May — Each week, 6-8 lines of Sloka will be taught.
Examples: Adithya Hrudayam and Sri Mahalakshmi Stotram
