Sydney Children


This is the home page for Bala Vihar and Chinmaya Hindu Scriptures at Schools, or the children's wing of Chinmaya Mission Australia in New South Wales.

There Bala Vihar classes are conducted on a weekly basis. They are shown below.

The Sunday classes at Castle Hill are also part of the "family" programs. This means that the entire family can participate in classes during these times. Parents can attend study classes at the same time as their children attend the Bal Vihar classes.
