Balvihar

DIYA is proud to present the Balvihar program in partnership with Radha Raman Vedic Temple.

Overview

Balvihar is a specialized program meticulously crafted for young groups of children, aiming to facilitate their immersion in the vibrant tapestry of Indian culture, heritage, festivals, spiritual insights, and religious wisdom. This holistic learning experience is ingeniously woven together using an array of mediums such as narratives, interactive games, thought-provoking quizzes, engaging crafts, devotional bhajans, timeless hymns, profound shlokas, captivating skits, and spirited dances.

Scheduled on a weekly basis, these gatherings convene at the Radha Raman Vedic Temple’s Service Building, where eager minds assemble for a duration of 60 to 90 minutes every Sunday. Through the conduit of Balvihar, the essence of Hinduism, as illuminated within our sacred scriptures—Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, Epics, and Puranas—takes root in the young hearts, nurturing them into the responsible torchbearers of tomorrow’s society.

At the heart of this noble endeavor stands a dedicated cohort of voluntary educators, each impassioned to impart profound teachings that unfurl the splendor of our heritage. Their noble mission revolves around shaping character, fostering a deep-seated respect for our age-old legacy, and nurturing a genuine reverence for the past. Bolstering the foundational principles of Balvihar, a constellation of supplementary activities further solidify its vision. These encompass captivating cultural showcases, spirited competitions, and the immersive experiences of Balvihar residential or day camps.
