Bala Vihar is run under the auspices of the Chinmaya Mission and follows their curriculum. Bala Vihar allows our children to learn and practise our precious Indian culture, spiritual wisdom and related values through books, stories, bhajans, shlokas and games. Open for ages 5 and above.

Class offerings include Swaranjali (bhajans), learnings from our Puranas and study of Bhagavad Gita along with choice of languages (Hindi or Tamil or Sanskrit). We also offer an Adult Study Circle (for Bhagavad Gita study) to involve the parents while children are in class. Academic session runs Sep-Jun annually. We close off our registrations by the first week of Sep.

Academic session runs Sep-Jun annually, on 2nd, 3rd & 4th Sundays of the month, between 9:30AM to 12:30PM.

The Adult Gita Class runs in conjunction with the Bala Vihar academic schedule.

The study circle has been working through each chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. The focus for this year will be Chapters 11 and 12.

The class is interactive, involves application to our daily living and above all, encourages participants to share their thoughts, ideas and experiences. Knowledge of Sanskrit is not a prerequisite. All one needs is an open mind, willingness to learn and apply the teachings on a daily basis. Regular attendance is strongly encouraged to make it more effective.

Academic session runs Sep-Jun annually, on 2nd, 3rd & 4th Sundays of the month, between 10:00 AM to 11:15 AM.
