Bala Datta
Karya Siddhi Hanuman Temple, under the inspiration, guidance and blessings of His Holiness Sri Sri Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji, has developed a program of religious instruction and personality development for children called Bala Datta
Who can Join Bala Datta
Bala Datta is for children from Pre-KG through High School. In Bala Datta, children learn prayers, bhajans, the significance of holy days and spiritual values. They read Ramayana and other religious scriptures. Class size is limited to ensure individual attention. The teachers are dedicated volunteers who are knowledgeable and experienced to impart religious values to children. Sri Swamiji's vision for Bala Datta is to make children grow up spiritually and inspire them to be good human beings.
Kids (10+ years) are introduced to and trained in leadership skills including how to give presentations and public speaking. Topics for presentations and public speaking are based on what they learned in the class during that school year.
