Path to Siva Now on YouTube
This morning we received an email from a Sivathondar in Australia, sharing that he has finished bringing all 68 lessons of the catechism for youth into video form, and posted the series on YouTube. Venkatesh Nagarajan, who lives in Australia, worked closely with the monks as he conceived, designed, tested and executed the project. Inspired by his six-year-old son, Adi, he has transformed the traditional catechism into engaging, bite-sized videos, each about five minutes long. These videos utilize AI voices for narration, ensuring clarity and variety while making them accessible and engaging for young learners.
Venkatesh's innovative approach, which took about a year to complete, makes these lessons a perfect tool for teaching Saivism to our youth. The use of appropriate images alongside easy-to-follow voiced instructions helps to maintain the attention of young minds, making learning both effective and enjoyable.
This digital transformation of the catechism into a series of concise lessons is not just a welcome (and unexpected) achievement but also a practical resource for educators and parents. Whether you're teaching in a classroom setting or guiding learning at home, these videos are a ready-to-use educational toolkit to help pass on the values and teachings of Saivism to the next generation.

Wow, what a gift! Wonderful work! Gives new and profound meaning to bedtime storytime. ( Last night my neighbor’s dog decided to get up at 2:00 am so I put on my headphones and drifted back to the inner planes listening to the magic of Siva’s Dance!) Thank you, Venkatesh and Adi!

What a terrific seva, wonderful inspiration! But the Chat40 picture has me puzzled: looks like Adi has two right hands! Shouldn’t we see his thumb rather than his little finger?
