About us
A forum to learn, and a place to practise
North Dallas Sathya Sai BalVikas is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organisation. Learning, devotion and service are promoted here through activities open to children, parents and devotees alike.
Who we are
The center provides a forum to learn and practise the teachings of Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Learning, devotion, as well as service, are promoted through various activities — Sunday morning classes for children, weekly devotional singing, Veda chanting, and a rhythm of service projects that runs through the whole year.
We meet at the Alpha Montessori House in Frisco. Bhajans are held from 11:20 am to 12 noon on Bal Vikas class days, and every student, parent and visitor is warmly encouraged to take part.
Our purpose
- Spiritual inquiry, reflection, and practice of teachings.
- Spiritual education of children.
- Service to community.
The foundation
Five human values
Every part of the programme — every story told, every song sung, every project undertaken — is an attempt to draw out one of these five.
Sathya
Truth
Dharma
Right Conduct
Shanti
Peace
Prema
Love
Ahimsa
Non-violence
Daiva Preeti
Love for God
Papa Bheeti
Fear of wrong-doing
Sangha Neeti
Morality in society
Children’s minds are innocent and pure. Each child is a white marble for the teacher and the parents to mould into an image of God, a bud to be helped to blossom in all its Divine glory so that it becomes a worthy offering to God.
