Character, Community, and Cultural Connection
Spiritual learning for young people ages 7 to 16.
As children grow beyond the foundational years of Bal Kendra, Bal Mandal provides the next step in their spiritual journey while supporting their parents’ efforts to nurture cultural identity. Designed for young people aged 7 to 16, these weekly Friday sessions blend traditional teachings with approaches that resonate with children growing up in British society, helping to keep them firmly rooted in our shared values.
Learning Through Engaging Activities
Every Friday evening, our Bal Mandal creates a space where children can explore more profound spiritual concepts through engaging activities that speak to today’s generation. We focus on making ancient wisdom relevant to modern challenges helping young people navigate contemporary life with timeless principles.

Spiritual Growth Beyond the Temple
Throughout the year, children participate in special events, including our popular offsite learning camps, where they immerse themselves in spiritual growth while building lasting friendships. These camps often include family participation to strengthen bonds between parents and children.
Cultivating Skills for Life
The skills developed at Bal Mandal, such as focus, self-discipline, emotional intelligence, and critical thinking, benefit every aspect of young people’s lives, from academic performance to personal relationships.
