Central Chinmaya Mission Trust
If every limb demands what can the heart do – except miss-beat now and then – or jump into convulsion – STROKE? But we will give (or rehabilitate) the heart – CCMT and reach full vigour to all our centres so long as we can; all in His will and grace only
-Swami Chinmayananda
Balvihar
“We shall through this magazine, build bridges of love and understanding everywhere, and leave this world a better place than what our parents have given us!” So stated Pujya Gurudev, Swami Chinmayananda, in the introductory issue of Balvihar, an international kids’ monthly.
The uniqueness of Balvihar Magazine
The magazine, replete with kid-friendly nuggets on Indian traditions, festivals and spiritual practices lovingly imparts ‘sanskars’ to the kids, without being preachy.
The magazine, balances legends and stories on Indian heritage with puzzles, jokes, brain-teasers and activity pages.There are also exclusive pages for the kids, by the kids, showcasing their innocent and honest expressions.
Swami. Tejomayananda, the global head of Chinmaya mission urges, “Give your kids values instead of valuables!” His motto for the magazine, ‘Love, Learning, Laughter,’ reflects in its pages.
