Yamas & Niyamas
By Vee Jay Bee
Yamas & Niyamas teaches young audiences to live well and emphasizes the value of giving and taking care of the earth and its bounty of life. The Peacock on the Rock demonstrates giving because children are asked to symbolically "feed" the peacock a few grains of rice each day during the season of Diwali or any other time. This concept develops character in young children by teaching them to care for the others and be open to giving. The Yamas & Niyamas is intended to complement, Peacock on the Rock - A Diwali Tradition but can also be enjoyed as a stand alone book
Meet Peacock on the Rock
A magical new tradition to celebrate values, wonder, and giving.
You’ve heard of Elf on the Shelf… now meet Peacock on the Rock, a tiny palm sized plush with a big heart and a playful spirit.
Peacock is part of a meaningful tradition which compliments two beautifully illustrated books: Peacock on the Rock - A Diwali Tradition and The Yamas and Niyamas. Together, they introduce children to timeless values like kindness, honesty, generosity, and self awareness all in a fun and engaging way.
Peacock magically appears in the days leading up to Diwali (or any special time of year) and reappears in a new spot each morning. Children are invited to symbolically “feed” Peacock a few grains of rice each day - a simple act that encourages mindfulness, gratitude, and care for others.
Whether used as part of a family ritual or just for fun, Peacock helps spark meaningful conversations and create lasting memories. It is a joyful way to nurture character, curiosity, and connection, all wrapped up in a soft magical friend.
Although it is suggested that Peacock appears nine days before Diwali, there is no fixed calendar. The book and plushie toy can be enjoyed year round by children of any background.
Whether you are looking to teach your child about Diwali, start a new family tradition, or simply share the magic of mindfulness and giving, Peacock on the Rock - A Diwali Tradition brings light, love, and learning into your home.
