The Chinmaya Bala Vihar program offers weekly cultural classes connecting children to their culture and values through fun-filled activities, stories and celebrations of festivals.

Based on books of the same name by Pujya Swami SwaroopanandaJi, this thought-provoking curriculum aims at equipping youth with the Vedantic tools that help perceive challenges as meaningful opportunities for inner growth and transformation.
