Guruji Speaks- Why Bala Vihar? How does it help?
Children enter this world through a natural process, but to make them good children is a great responsibility.
If parents want the child to be good, they must do something about it. Nothing happens automatically. Other than rare saintly exceptions, children need support and guidance. .
To nurture children, help them reach their potential and become great is the primary responsibility and role of parents. But how good or great they become will depend on how they are groomed. That is the key. .
Of course, children are born with their own karma, but despite this, we can mold their present and shape their future.
In olden times, when children studied in gurukulas, the teacher did all the grooming. Later, in joint families, traditions were imbibed through a process of osmosis.
Today, the gurukula system is no longer prevalent, and joint families are fading away. Everybody is busy. In this environment, the responsibility of spiritual organizations becomes greater. .
Being a part of society, they have certain obligations toward the well-being of its members.
The purpose of Bala Vihar is to help children learn about values in an enjoyable atmosphere.
