Dear Friends,
American Hindu Association is proud to announce Bala-Gokulam classes for
kids and youth in Madison area. It is a wonderful opportunity for kids and
youth to learn and practice Hindu way of life, develop social awareness and
leadership skills among children while having fun. Pre-registration is required.
Please check the following information about the Bala -Gokulam.
What is Bala-Gokulam?
Gokulam is the place where a seemingly an ordinary cowherd boy blossomed
in to a divine incarnation. It is here that Krishna's magical days of childhood
were spent and his powers came to be recognized.
Every child has that spark of divinity within. Bala-Gokulam is a forum for
children to discover and manifest that divinity. Bala-Gokulam will enable Hindu
children in US to appreciate their cultural roots, learn Hindu values in an
enjoyable manner and make good friends. They will also develop a sense of Sewa,
Service to humankind.
Our Goal is...
To facilitate children to appreciate, learn and practice Hindu way of life.
Instill pride and confidence in Hindu children about their identity.
Raise Hindu awareness in the society around.
Develop social awareness and leadership skills among children.
Activities: Children will have lots of fun while they learn. Activities are
planned for their physical, intellectual, social and spiritual development. Weekly
activities include: Games, Yoga, Vedas, Stories, Bhajans, Shlokas, Mantras, Sanskrit,
Bhagvad Gita, Arts and Crafts and many more. Festivals: Hindu Festivals like Ganesh Pooja, Holi, Janmashtami, and Shivaratri
are celebrated with a special focus on children's participation. Children will perform
the pooja themselves and the meaning behind the festivals is explained. AHA Camp: Vacation can be magical. That's the time to explore, enjoy and
make more friends. Annually, we conduct AHA Camp.
Community Service: Sewa or service is the best way for us to realize the
divinity in all and serve the needy. We plan to take Children from Bala-Gokulam to
visit elderly people in convalescent hospital or any appropriate activities.
