Objectives of Balvikas

Sri Sathya Sai Bal Vikas classes are conducted with the main objective of initiating the child into a course of character building by developing self-discipline, providing healthy association, inculcating such habits of reading, listening, studying, and reciting, as it will sublimate the child’s growing mind.

This course commences with small children (Group I) between 6 and 9 years of age for creating interest in the child’s mind, for the collective discipline and instruction that is to follow when the child moves on to Group II between the age 9 and 12 years. During 5-6 years of this training, the child is expected to have derived the following benefits:

  • Having due respect for parents and other elders at home
  • Pay due attention to school studies and proper respect to the school teachers
  • Show good physical orderliness in respect of dress, behavior in school, society etc.
  • Develop self-confidence Develop good manners, humility, speaking obligingly Develop good moral character
  • Make good use of time by planning it in a balanced way between play, study, prayers etc. Have spirit of service for those who need his/her help
  • Have love for God who expects us to be truthful, honest, good, loving, kind and helpful to all fellow beings.

    After completing this course, the student is considered fit for the Group III, conducted for the children between 12 and15 years. At this stage the student, besides getting a firmer grounding in theoretical and practical syllabus, receives further training (Unity of faiths, Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man, Project work) which will widen his/her outlook on life, inculcate higher and nobler values of life. A pre Sevadal activity and training course is conducted for children between 15 and 18 years of age. At the end of this, the student is considered fit to undergo training programs as a BalVikas Guru or Sevadal which will equip him/her to serve according to his/her aptitude, abilities and aspiration in Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organizations.
