What if we could teach our children about the stars—not just the ones twinkling in the night sky, but the ones that have shaped Indian stories, traditions, and beliefs for centuries?
The Navagrahas book, by our very own Bhanu Ma, is a thoughtfully written and beautifully illustrated introduction to the nine planetary deities that play a vital role in Indian astrology.
Designed especially for young minds, it opens a window into the world of the Navagrahas — Surya, Chandra, Mangala, Buddha, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu — through rich storytelling, vibrant visuals, and timeless values.
Why Introduce Children to Indian Astrology?
From naamkaran (naming ceremony) to festivals, and even the timing of important life events, astrology is woven into the fabric of daily life in many Indian households. Yet, very few resources make this knowledge accessible to children. The Navagrahas book changes that.
It serves as a gentle child astrology guide, sparking curiosity about the planets not as distant scientific entities, but as divine personalities with stories, traits and roles in the grand cosmic play. It’s a meaningful way to introduce Indian mythology for children, without overwhelming them with complexity.
