Bal Vikas
Spiritual education for children
Our programme for children is based on the teachings of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, and is dedicated to making sure that children start their journey with God.
Core values
The programme is designed to impart values and principles that align with Swami’s teachings, helping children grow spiritually and ethically. Three ideas hold it together.
- Daiva Preeti
- Love for God
- Papa Bheeti
- Fear of wrong-doing
- Sangha Neeti
- Morality in society

Admission
- Parents need to attend an orientation meeting to understand the programme and their role in their child’s moral & spiritual growth.
- Parent commitment includes the need to participate in “parents-as-partners” once every unit.
- Every unit includes a service project as part of the programme, and we welcome parents to help conduct them.
Admissions are currently closed. All classes are full for this academic year — please write to us next year.
Our teachers
A group of dedicated volunteers serve as our teachers. They are devotees who love children and are committed to their emotional, moral and spiritual well-being.
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.
