List of Balavihar Classes (Age 5 to 10):

About Balavihar:

Chinmaya Balavihars are weekly classes for children in the age group of 6 to 15 years where our cultural and spiritual values are taught amidst fun and games. “Catch them young” was Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda’s rationale.

Who conducts Balavihar?

Trained volunteers (sevaks and sevikas) and Acharyas conduct the interactive and fun-filled value education classes, free of cost, drawing from the timeless Indian Scriptures (Mahabharata, Bhagavatam, Ramayana and the Puranas) and other facets of Hindu culture made available through the Mission books for children.

Importance of Balavihars:

Character-building should ideally begin in childhood, but given the fast pace and materialistic way of modern life, the modern education system, absence of the ancient gurukula system and the decline of joint family-living, children of Indian heritage are rarely exposed to the beauty and greatness of Indian culture. Balavihar offers a modern day alternative in which sevaks and sevikas lovingly teach children what they ought to know in a fun way with the love of a parent, the doting of a grand-parent and the discipline of a teacher. This helps children bloom and grow into better and happier individuals of tomorrow.
