Bala Vihar

What is Bala Vihar?

At Bala Vihar, our ancient traditions and Vedantic culture is passed down to the next generation, so that they can grow up to be positive, confident, self-knowledgable and connected to their culture and rich heritage

What is Bala Vihar?

Bala Vihar is a warm and friendly place where your children can stay connected to their Indian culture and traditions. Classes are run every weekend by dedicated sevaks who are inspired by Swami Chinmayananda’s vision: “Children are not vessels to be filled but lamps to be lit.”

Sanskrit Classes

Sanskrit is the world's oldest language and the source of many Eastern and Western languages. Sanskrit classes at Chinmaya Kirti in Hendon enable students to translate and interpret the scriptures in their original language of Sanskrit independently.

Seva & Duke of Edinburgh

Seva (service) is an integral outlet to apply the knowledge we are taught. Children and adults alike are encouraged to serve their community. Several children also allocate part of their DofE volunteering time to do something meaningful and make a difference.
