About the Sri Sathya Sai Spiritual Education Wing

Nurturing Young Souls
in the Spirit of Sai

Bal Vikas — meaning "Child Blossoming" — is a spiritual education programme for children that focuses on character development and the cultivation of the five universal human values taught by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.

Conducted every Sunday morning at Sri Sathya Sai Sudha Mandir, Bal Vikas creates a nurturing space for children to grow spiritually, morally, and emotionally — helping them blossom into responsible, compassionate, and loving individuals.

"Children are flowers of God. They must be tended with love, truth, and the light of good values so they may bloom in full glory."

— Inspired by the teachings of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Who Is Bal Vikas For?

Children of devotees

Children of families in the Sai community who wish to give their children a spiritual foundation.

At the Heart of Bal Vikas

The Five Universal
Human Values

At the heart of Bal Vikas are the five universal human values — Sathya, Dharma, Shanti, Prema, and Ahimsa. These are not merely lessons taught in class. They are ways of being — qualities cultivated through every story, every song, every prayer, every activity.

"These five values are the very breath of human life. Without them, man is not man — he is merely a form walking the earth."

— Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
