This past November, the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) celebrated Hindu Heritage Month, recognizing the significant contributions of Hindu Canadians to Ontario’s diverse culture. The month highlighted the rich traditions, teachings, and values of Hinduism, one of the world’s oldest religions. The 2024 theme, Antah Shanti for Vishwa Shanti (Inner Peace for World Peace), emphasized that fostering global harmony begins with cultivating peace within ourselves.
Families looking to continue the learning can explore resources such as Amma, Tell Me About Diwali! by Bhakti Mathur. The ‘Amma Tell Me’ series is an informative collection of children’s books introducing major Hindu festivals and traditions to children in a fun way.
Thank you to an Allenby family for sharing these resources and these delicious kid-friendly recipes with us!
