Programmes
A dedicated spiritual education programme for children — nurturing character, values, and the love of God through stories, song, prayer, and guided learning rooted in the teachings of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
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 BabaWho Is Bal Vikas For?
Children of families in the Sai community who wish to give their children a spiritual foundation.
Open to all children in the community regardless of background — every child is welcome.
Dedicated volunteer teachers — Bal Vikas Gurus — who guide, nurture, and inspire the children with love and patience.
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 BabaBal Vikas classes are not traditional academic lessons. They are living, breathing sessions of spiritual nourishment — where children learn through joy, creativity, and the warmth of community.
Stories from all traditions that illustrate human values and the nature of the Divine.
Singing bhajans and spiritual songs — learning to love God through music and voice.
Beginning and ending each class in prayer — creating stillness and reverence in young hearts.
Arts, crafts, and interactive activities that make the values real, tangible, and joyful.
