Mission and Role of BalaVihar

The Chinmaya Atlanta BalaVihar at the Hindu Temple of Atlanta was designed to nurture the minds of young children by teaching them the values of Sanatana Dharma and helping them grow into responsible and productive citizens of tomorrow. The BalaVihar program fills a critical need in this fast-paced society where our children are confronted with a variety of conflicting choices by teaching them self-discipline, instilling a sense of responsibility, and enabling them to make the right choices that will lead to their own betterment and that of the society at-large. These goals are accomplished through a well-defined curriculum, which draws on the ideals of the Chinmaya Mission and aims to provide a solid spiritual foundation in Hindu philosophy coupled with a deep appreciation for Indian heritage and culture.
