HARI OM!

Dear Children, From the Lord, when we reached here, we came as a good child of light.

But as we live among others, the animal in us comes up and we become bad children of darkness.

To avoid this fall, we must always remember the great Lord of Love, the flute player of Jamuna (Yamuna) banks.

Balavihar is meant for this.

With the song of the glorious Lord in your heart, grow to be great men and women of our country. The country needs you; you deserve a great country."

Swami Chinmayananda

HARI OM!

The greatest boon given by Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda to the younger generation is Balavihar.

Balavihar provides a spiritual and cultural orientation to the children of the modern age.

The rationale of Balavihar as elucidated by Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayanandaji in the "March of the future" talk is summarized below:

Pujya Guruji Tejomayanandaji

HARI OM!

Dear Children,

“Fill the Heart with the oil of love. Place in it the wick of single - pointed mind. Light it with the Knowledge of Truth and remove the darkness of ignorance around you. Just as one lamp can light many lamps, let each youth kindle this Light in many hearts.”

Mukhya Swami Swaroopanandaji

Blessed Self,

Hari Om! Salutations!

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Chinmaya

Mission’s Weekend programs: Balavihar, Adult Study Group,

Swaranjali and Language Classes at Chinmaya Vrindavan. Our

programs are established in three sessions of Balavihar and one

session for language classes/Swaranjali.

The tremendous growth and success of this program is made

possible by our volunteers who work tirelessly to provide constant enrichment and learning

for children and adults. As Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayanandaji has put it, “The purpose of

Balavihar is to prepare our children to live their lives fully; to learn how to face life as it

comes to them as well as creating a life that they want. Balavihar should give them both roots

and wings.” Our program is well structured and covers the following:

1. A grade based program that is tuned to the mental and intellectual growth of our

children.

2. An enriching program for the entire family regardless of the number of children,

parents, and grandparents

3. Celebration of major festivals like Mahasivaratri, Diwali, Navaratri, Rama Navami, etc.

4. Gita chanting in classes with an annual region-wide Gita chanting contest.

5. Numerous service/volunteer activities such as Anna Danam, CORD Walk-a-thon, and

other community service projects like Chinmaya Youth Summer Project (CYSP)

6. Specialized skill building programs like Math Club, teaching young students with the

help of young student volunteer teachers thus enriching both in the process

7. Interactive seminars on topics such as parenting, youth-parent relationships, and

revitalizing our adult study group classes.

Pujya Gurudev, Swami Chinmayanandaji, was a master with great vision and He believed that

religion and the inquiry into the Divine provided the substance for unification and the true

recipe for happiness. I encourage you to share the Mission’s programs with other families and

let them also benefit through their participation.

Welcoming you with Prem and Om!

Swami Shantananda

Resident Acharya, Chinmaya Vrindavan

Self Unfoldment

By

Swami Chinmayananda

The book Self Unfoldment written by Pujya Swami Chinmayananda is

an extensive manual that elucidates the whole topic of Vedanta in

simple layman’s language. The book is filled with simple examples

which illustrate complex Vedantic concepts like BMI chart, Karma,

Gunas, Pancha Kosha, meditation and many other topics. Every

chapter ends with with a set of questions and references for further

reading from the Holy Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads and other Vedantic

texts. The greatness of this book lies in the fact that it does not only

discuss Vedantic philosophies academically but also provides real life

examples of how this philosophy can be applied in real life by the

aspirant to gain the ultimate happiness which is within us. Anyone who

reads and absorbs the contents of this book gets a very firm footing on

the spiritual path and his/her doubts vanish due to the simple handling

of topics.

ADULT STUDY GROUP

Manah Sodhanam

By

Swami Tejomayananda

Manah Sodhanam meaning ‘purification of the mind’ is a concise book

written in a very simple language by Pujya Swami Tejomayananda.

Many people embark on the Vedantic journey without meeting the

prerequisite of a pure mind. Only a pure mind filled with bhakthi and

love can ever succeed on the path pointed out by Vedanta. To quote

from the Introduction to the book – “Impurity of mind is the cause of

sorrow and agitation in us, and this in turn is reflected in the society as

well”. In this beautiful book, Guruji brings out the great truths of

Vedanta in very simple language.

Bhaja Govindam

By

Adi Shankaracharya

Adi Shankaracharya wrote commentaries on so many granthas –

Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Brahma sutras and many others.

However, before he left this world, he composed the Bhaja Govindamthat evokes the mood of devotion to Lord Krishna. Bhaja Govindamhas a touching, lyrical and emotional quality that is unmatched and yet

conveys deep Vedantic concepts in its pithy verses. Bhaja Govindamis a unique book that will touch you deeply and raise bhakti for the

Lord in your heart and give you strength to navigate this ocean of

samsara with equanimity and confidence.

Bhagavad Gita Ch. 1&2, 3-6

Commentary by

Swami Chinmayananda

If the Upanishads are the text books of philosophical principles

discussing man, world and God, the Bhagavad Gita is a handbook of

instructions as to how every human being can come to live the subtle

philosophical principles in the actual work-a-day world. Srimad

Bhagavad Gita, the Divine song of the Lord, occurs in the Bhisma Parva of the Mahabharata. This great handbook of practical living

marked a positive revolution in Hinduism and inaugurated a Hindu

renaissance for the ages that followed the Puranic era.

Slokams Chanting of Ganesha panchratnam, Guru paduka stotram, Shiva

manasa Pooja, Dakshinamurthi stotram and Annapurna ashtakam.

Followed by Vishnu Sahasranamam and Lakshmi ashtotaram.

Bhajans Chinmaya Bhajans on various deities, along with some more well-

known songs sung by Smt M.S. Subbalakshmi, compositions of Sri Adi

Shankara & others.

Arjuna is now convinced of the role he has to play

in the war. However, one more doubt still lingers in

him: “What is Renunciation & How does it differ

from Sacrifice?” Lord Krishna lovingly explains the

nuance, and how inevitably the sacrifice of the fruits

of one’s actions leads to Renunciation, or giving up

selfish or desire prompted acts.

Chapter 18 is a summary of the entire Geeta! Let us

venture in the study of mokṣa-saṁnyāsa-yogaḥ.

We shall study the first 40 verses of Chapter 18, this

Other Programs

Math Club Chinmaya Vrindavan Math Club conducts classes for Grade 1 through Grade 6 at the Ashram on Wednesdays during the academic year. This is an enrichment program based on the acclaimed Singapore Math curriculum, focusing on creative problem solving through advanced application of math concepts.

Classes are open to Balavihar families only and are taught by Balavihar high school students and CHYKs, supported by adult coordinators. Our instructors aim to instill a passion for mathematics in a highly interactive classroom environment that encourages children to understand "the why and the how". For more information visit chinmayavrindavanmathclub.weebly.com For any questions contact: Aruna Sarma at [email protected] or 609-468-5463 Swaranjali Swaranjali consists of a group of talented youth musicians selected from among our Balavihar students by an audition to sing bhajans at various Balavihar/ashram events. Mentored and coached by adult Chinmaya sevaks, the children have helped create bhakti bhava among audiences singing prior to Swamiji's discourses on Vedanta and at various festivals. The group meets on Sundays to practice from 11:15 am to 12:15 pm on all Sundays that balavihar is in session. We ask for the students' regular attendance and practice of songs taught to be able to sing confidently and with feeling as one voice. Both vocalists and instrumentalists with some form of classical training are welcome. Contact: Subha Srinivasan - [email protected]

Language Classes Language classes are offered at the Chinmaya Vrindavan for children enrolled in the Balavihar program. The class curriculum is designed to enable children to communicate with members of their extended family, particularly elders, in their native language, and thereby develop stronger bonds with them.

For each language, children are grouped into classes on the bases of language proficiency and age, while maintaining class size at an optimum level. Active participation of children in the class is encouraged to foster learning; parents are requested to assist as needed. Currently, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Gujarati, Kannada, Oriya and Sanskrit classes are offered for Balavihar children at Chinmaya Vrindavan. Sanskrit is also available for Adults.
