Quoting from Prahlada Maharaj’s words – kaumāra ācaret prājño, dharmān bhāgavatān iha [SB 7.6.1], children should be given the right teachings from a very young age. It is a fallacy that old age is the time to turn to the scriptures. The prescribed practices in our scriptures actually act as a guiding light to lead a regulated, peaceful life and hence have to be followed right from a tender age.
