It is a wonderful book that introduces young readers to the rich and diverse traditions of Hinduism through simple and catchy verses. We were fascinated how an American-born teenager came about to write such an amazing book and asked Esha to come to the studio with her mom Ruchi to tell us more. 5:20 pm We turn now to a couple who has devoted their lives to their passions in creativity even as they both worked in demanding professional jobs and raised their own children. Raja Banga and Debleena Banerji have taken their passion for harmonizing with nature and the environment by opening a wilderness preserve called the Garden of Prana in Pattison, just north of Brookshire. It has taken them three years of planning and hardwork, and they are nearing completion even as they hold some programs at the Garden. They call in today with more details.
