Boulder Balvihar is an informal group for the children of Indian parents, who would like
their kids to learn about Indian Culture.
All activities are done on voluntary basis. This center is active for last eight years.
There are more than 25 Balvihar family members.
We are conveniently located at North Boulder.
Following information is from the book "MY PRAYERS":
We train up children and inculcate into them a reverence for our ancient culture, an aspiration to live up to it and a correct understanding of the implication of our immortal philosophy.
We try to create in them self-confidence to serve and to rightly act in cheerfulness, generate in them a true affection in all their contacts, inculcate in them some personal discipline, and a true spirit of leadership.
We train their capacity to express themselves and to assert their individuality.
We seek your co-operation to give our growing children a healthier intellectual and physical climate, where they can grow with noble ideals, healthy emotions and physical discipline.
