Chinmaya Book of Hymns

Bala Vihar:- Swami Chinmayananda once said: “Children are not vessels to be filled, but lamps to be lit.” Bala Vihars are weekly gatherings of children between the ages of 5 and 15 that take place in Chinmaya Mission centres or in private homes, under the supervision of trained sevaks (volunteers). In an atmosphere of love, children are imparted ethical and cultural values through the singing of bhajans (devotional songs), chanting of scriptures of scriptures, hearing and narrating of Puranic stories and other fun-filled activities. There are hundreds of Bala Vihars in India and abroad operating under the supervision of Chinmaya Mission Centres.
