ABK - OUR CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE

In today’s times of chaos and confusion, our children need a place to turn for guidance in a world that seems to get more and more complicated for them as time goes on. Amrita Bala Kendra (ABK) prepares them for the world and for the difficulties they will face, by guiding them in the application of Amma’s teachings. The ABK program focuses on values, traditions, & spiritual practices and shows children how to bring these simple teachings into their daily lives.

THE FOCUS OF ABK PROGRAM IS ON LEARNING

  • Moral Values
  • Cultural Traditions
  • Spiritual Practices
  • Mantras
  • Shlokas
  • Devotional Music
  • Stories 

Additional ABK activities include:

  • Musical Concerts (Devotional Music, Instrumental Music)
  • Games
  • Arts & Crafts
  • Discussions
  • Celebration of Festivals
  • Picnics
  • Service Projects
