About Bala Vihar | Austin

The Chinmaya Mission Bala Vihar program offers weekly spiritual classes for children during their formative years. Our teachers are dedicated volunteers trained by Priya Ji and Rahul Ji through periodic teacher training programs. Classes are organized by school grade and begin and end with Sanskrit prayers. Each session includes chanting, bhajans, interactive discussions, creative games, and inspiring stories from our scriptures that teach devotion and values..

Following the vision of our culture, children begin by learning stories from the Puranas, progress to character-building lessons from the Itihasas, and eventually explore Vedantic teachings for self-unfoldment.
