“Our Balagokulam chapter adopted a city park and a road. Our whole family enjoys the cleanup work along with other families. It is like get-together for community service. Thanks to Balagokulam for teaching my kids the importance and joy of service to local community"
"It’s an honor to be a small part of this major effort. Thanks for the opportunity to give back to the society in general and to the future generations in particular. Kudos to all those who were involved. Great teamwork."
"Being in the US, I needed to know why I am a Hindu and what that means. In shakha, I got to know there are many other kids like me who were also in search of this answer. I like to go to shakha because it helps me to understand "Who is a Hindu?" It teaches me to appreciate, learn and practice the Hindu way of life. I also learn a sense of discipline and responsibility in Shakha."
"I go to shakha because I like to play games. I have learned how to do suryanamaskar, pranayam and say shlokas in Shakha. I also enjoy Ramayana stories and learn about history. I like to celebrate all festivals and understand the Indian culture. Dharmabee was one of my favorite programs."
"Shakha has made me more disciplined in the sense that something I never did, I do it now. Like I don't procrastinate as much as before. Shakha has taught me that the right time to do something is always now. All the morals I learn for our bauddhik and katha sessions, I try my best to apply them into my day to day life. After attending Shakha for a year and a half, I feel more connected to Indian culture and Hinduism than before."
"I go to shakha because I want to learn a lot about Hinduism. In every Balagokulam session, I learn something new about Sanatan Dharma! I also enjoy khel session, yoga and other activities in Balagokulam."
HSS, a great thing happened to me in USA. Not just to me but also to my kids. Learning about Bharat, Yoga, Suryanamaskar with fun games and what not keeping every one connected to roots, culture and traditions. I have met talented people to get guidance. My daughters participate and enjoy in every program that is organized by HSS. Thank You HSS.
I want my kids to understand our rich Indian traditions, values and culture. I want them to feel proud of it which we alone as parents can't do it. Shakha helps teach them this.
Attending Balagokulam sessions has truly been an enriching experience for my daughter. All the activities planned within the sessions including the shlokas, geet, stories, discussions and games are all oriented around the kids’ age group and interests embedded with our beautiful Hindu ideologies. There has never been a dull moment and a lot of learning coupled with fun which encourages the regularity to attend & stokes the kids’ inner learning appetite!
I am the parent of a child who is attending Dharma Bee online Shakha. As a parent I feel so great as my kid is learning the Hindhu Dharma and its importance. This is really a very good platform for kids to learn ancient Hindu values, Yoga sutras, Hindu temples and stories from epics. He is also having fun with the games and fun puzzles that are held. Thank you so much.
Both my son and I have learned value for people and community. Most importantly, Vihaan started to know that Shakha means not just one hour of discipline, surya namaskar, khel and shloka. It's a path of living and leading a good life with spiritual as well as practical values. with Shakha, we know the meaning of extended family. As an Indian parent in the USA, we know it's hard to drive our cultural values into our kids. But, our shakha family makes it simple and interesting.
Balagokulum, I believe is a overall transformative process that focuses on all aspects of child development. Kids learn yoga, shlokas, stories, art & craft work and especially games where they learn to remove inhibitions, get involved, experience team work and enjoy.
"We like the physical fitness activities such as yoga and exercises, mental and social games conducted and various topics covered under for children. Shakha activities help us understand Hindu culture significantly."
"We gain spiritual knowledge, rituals, healthy lifestyle through Surya namaskara, Yoga and socialization with people. It is a great platform to build our personality."
"I like going to Shakha because I get to meet so many friends and play with them. I also learn new Shlokas and get to know a lot of stories from India, Ramayan and about Krishna. I also learn about the festivals we celebrate. I made new friends, play lot of games and exercise. And my favorite part of Shakha are games and suryanamaskar."
"I first came to Abhimanyu shaka for Ganesh Murthy making in 2019. Since then I have been regularly attending shaka. I made friends with the other kids there. I get more opportunities to learn about Indian history and culture. I have also taken the lead in conducting games, reciting ekta mantra, prarthana and most recently boudhik session during our shakha. It is a great place to develop leadership, presentation skills and confidence."
"Shakha is like a family to me. I learned a lot of things in shakha, directly & indirectly by leading/participating in exercises, games, events, and Surya Namaskar. Playing games helps us get along with people and do things with people together. Shakha helps build discipline, how to follow and give instructions. Shakha also helps me learn about our culture through Balgokulam, bauddhik, and utsavs. It teaches us about important things we should know about Hindu Dharma through stories, shlokas, and festivals. I get to learn more about our roots in India, great things that happened."
"Its been more than 2 years that I have been attending Shivaji Shakha. I get to do the yoga/surya namaskar and learn gayatri mantra. Also I like to play games with my friends."
"I learnt so many good things/habits by attending shakha since past 4 years. I started doing suryanamskar every day with chanting mantra. I like to recite shloka and especially Prarthana in shakha. In Balagokulam, I learnt so many things that I did not know such as about Hindu Gods/Goddesses, Hindu festivals, Ramayana etc. It is always fun to attend shakha every week."
"Namaste, my name is Nidhishree Talanki. I am going to shakha for 2 years. I like going to Shakha because I get to learn new things about our culture. I enjoy playing games and look forward to play the games every Sunday and also like to meet others."
"Balagokulam time is our favorite time of the week; we really look forward to it! We listen to stories of people and places from our rich and vast heritage, learn shlokas, songs and take pride in our culture with our friends in a fun and jolly way!!"
Most of the cultural activities are targeted either for children or for adults, but balagokulam is an exception. It is a place where my entire family can participate, play together and learn Hindu values in a very fun filled environment. I always look forward to our weekly gathering.
"My kids learned about the Hindu festivals not just by reading about them but actually practicing the deeper meaning of it. We tied Rakhi to police, fire fighters, elected officials by visiting and thanking them. I say that is the true leaning"
