HINDU TOOLS FOR TEENS

Tools that help control the mind and emotions, improve focus and determination, build strong values and character, cultivate wisdom and willpower, and transform life to achieve blissful consciousness.

WHO ARE WE?

Hindu Tools for Teens (HTT) is an online platform created by a teen, for teens. It offers a space where teenagers from all backgrounds can connect, learn, and grow through Hindu principles. Rooted in timeless wisdom, these principles are presented as practical tools for life, promoting personal growth, self-awareness, ethical living, and harmony. HTT simplifies Hindu concepts, making them approachable, accessible, and relatable to all.

WHAT WE DO?

We aim to spread kindness, provide guidance, and inspire transformation. We strongly believe that with a deeper understanding of Hindu principles and adherence to Hindu restraints (yamas) and practices (niyamas), teens can become more mindful and better navigate both high school and modern life.

WHERE ARE WE FROM?

Hindu Tools for Teens (HTT) is an outreach initiative by Aran Malhotra, student of University of Chicago Laboratory High Schools.

Aran grew up in a devout Hindu family, however, it was his pilgrimage to the Kauai’s Hindu Monastery that deepened his understanding and cultivated genuine appreciation for Hindu values and beliefs. Studying Hindu philosophy and practicing meditation, Aran realized how these teachings shaped his emotional stability, values, and resilience.

Inspired to share his learnings with his peers, and other teens around the world, Aran successfully completed the Dharma Ambassadors Program by Hindu American Foundation and became a committed spokesperson for the international Hindu community. Aran launched HSC at his high school in 2023 and, to reach a wider audience, created HTT in 2024 as an online platform and blog.

  • Words from the Masters

    “The man who rejects the words of the scriptures and follows the impulse of desire attains neither his perfection, nor joy, nor the Path Supreme. Let the scriptures be, therefore, thy authority as to what is right and what is not right.”

    Bhagavad Gita 16.23-24

  • Words from the Masters

    “Without a satguru, all philosophy, knowledge and mantras are fruitless. Him alone the Gods praise who is the satguru, keeping active what is handed down to him by tradition. Therefore one should seek with all effort to obtain a preceptor of the unbroken tradition, born of Supreme Siva.”

    Kularnava Tantra 10.1

    “Offer oblations in love, light golden lamps. Spread incense of fragrant wood and lighted camphor in all directions. Forget your worldly worries and meditate. You shall attain true and rapturous moksha. Worshiping thus, there is nothing that you cannot attain. Worshiping thus, you shall inherit the wealth of Indra, heaven’s king. Worshiping thus, you shall gain miraculous powers. Worshiping thus, you shall attain moksha.”
