#Lesson1TheAumSymbol

This first lesson explains what the Hindu aum symbol is and how it symbolises central Hindu beliefs about God, using a story to help illustrate the ideas.

#Lesson2GodsandGoddesses

Learn all about a number of Hindu gods and goddesses and the aspects of Hindu belief they each represent. Using the detailed, differentiated resources included, children may then go on to prepare a presentation about what they have learned, or produce a collage using a range of materials.

#Lesson3SpecialShrines

Everyone has a special place they like to go for peace and quiet. This lesson explains why a shrine is that place for Hindus and how shrines are used in worship.

#Lesson4PracticingPuja

This lesson looks at offerings in Hinduism, particularly puja. It examines the items on the puja tray and gives your class the chance to discuss why each item is an important part of worship.

#Lesson5AtTheMandir

As well as praying at home, where do Hindus worship? Step into the mandir and explore how Hindus worship in these Hindu temples. This lesson introduces your class to some technical terms relating to Hindu worship at the mandir.

#Lesson6ASummary

This final lesson gives your class the chance to reflect on everything they have learnt throughout these Hinduism worship lessons, and to find out the answers to any questions they still have about prayer, shrines and worship.
