Bala Vihar is a weekly gathering of children, between the ages of five to thirteen years that takes place in Chinmaya Mission Centres or in private homes, under the supervision of trained teachers. The aim of Bala Vihar is to help children bloom, grow, and inculcate values through fun-filled activities. Bala Vihar enhances the overall development of the personality of a child at all levels — physical, emotional, intellectual, cultural and spiritual.
A platform where youngsters are chiseled to become dynamic leaders for tomorrow with a spiritual base and a national outlook through experiential learning of our ancient knowledge and wisdom.

Youth is a stage in human development when the personality is bursting with energy, enthusiasm and dynamism. This is also a phase in life when receptivity and retentivity are at the optimum. What they require is a clear vision of a goal in life and exercises for the cultivation of the right values of life to enable them to mould their personality and harness their inner resources along constructive channels. This systematic preparation alone can equip the youth to face the challenges of life with a smile.

Temple Run is an infinite runner game where the player must escape from a demon against all obstacles and traps. However, the Chyk version of Temple Run is different. Here, we wake up before sunrise, drive to temples in and around the city of Chennai while the sun is rising. We seek God through bhajans, appreciate the temple through its history and architecture, and finally relish some tasty breakfast at local restaurants. Through these Temple Runs, we defeat the demons within us such as laziness, waking up late in the morning, and ego to reach the temple. Sounds interesting?
Then join Chinmaya Yuvakendra to be a part of this fun exercise.

Is our life limited to our emotions? Are we really social animals whose happiness lies in objects and situations? How do I get out of this vicious cycle of materialism?
The answer lies in the immortal scriptures of our ancestors. Right from the type of food we eat to the quality of thoughts to nurture, our ancestors have left us with an amazing trove of treasure. They are called the Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, and Itihasas. Through weekly study classes, we learn the values embedded in our scriptures to evolve and serve in this lifetime.
Join Chinmaya Yuvakendra to become more dynamic and independent in life.
