Bala Vihar and Shishu Vihar

Bala Vihar by Chinmaya Mission is a place where children and teens can connect to the rich moral values and cultural heritage of India. Our centers have become models for teaching India’s spiritual traditions  to the next generations.

Chinmaya Bala Vihar classes are organized into different grade levels from pre-K to Grade 12, providing a systematic study of the Hindu scriptures and fundamental Vedanta. The curriculum provides age-appropriate lessons that incorporate singing, storytelling, games, class discussions, debates, group projects, cultural programs and even family retreats.  Children learn to chant selected chapters from the Bhagavad Gīta, as well as popular Bhajans and Slokas.

Please visit our Bala Vihar page for more information about our Sunday program.
