The Chinmaya Balvihar programme offers weekly spiritual Vedanta classes for children in their formative years (1.5-17 years old). The classes are categorized by varying age groups, start and end with Sanskrit prayers, and include chanting, bhajans, stories of devotion and morals, interactive discussions, and creative games. Conducted worldwide, the 40-minute online classes are based on a specially designed dynamic curriculum, with the aim of accomplishing the Balavihar rationale set by Swami Chinmayanandaji:

* To inculcate in our children and youth a reverence for our ancient culture, and inspire them to live up to it with correct understanding
* To create self-confidence so that they are able to serve and act cheerfully
* To generate personal discipline, dynamic leadership, and true affection in all their contacts
* To mould their capacity to brilliantly express their individuality
* To bring out their dormant faculties and detect defects so that they can cultivate and improve their creative abilities
* To help our children and youth develop a healthy resistance against temptations in the atmosphere in which they grow
* To provide an atmosphere of growth that is filled with noble ideals, healthy emotions, and physical discipline.

Chinmaya Mission Trinidad and Tobago’s Onsite Balavihar Programme is held each Sunday from 9-9:40 am.
