Chinmaya Mission's Bala Vihar program is geared to helping children channelize their abundant energy and exuberant enthusiasm in the right direction. The purpose of Chinmaya Bala Vihar is not just to impart religious education, but to help the children develop self-confidence in their own identity, so they can rel

• Building a strong foundation by imparting the
fundamentals of Hindu beliefs
• Introducing them to the richness and diversity of Hindu

• Inculcating values, morals, and ethics as described in our
scriptures, through stories, games, discussions, arts and
crafts, and other age-appropriate methods
