Balagokulam & Chetna Program Details

Gokulam is where lord Krishna’s magical childhood days were spent. It was here that his divine powers came to light.

“Every child has that spark of divinity within.” –Swami Vivekananda

Balagokulam is a forum for children to discover and manifest that divinity. It will enable Hindu children in the US to appreciate their cultural roots and learn Hindu values. This is done through games, yoga, stories, bhajans, shlokas, arts and crafts. Balagokulam and Chetna (Youth) programs are of 90 minutes duration that includes various activities related to physical, intellectual and spiritual needs. We have a dedicated team of teachers who are willing to work with and teach our children. Balgokulam is a HTCI sponsored FREE program. The child needs to be registered for Balagokulam and the registration form is available on the temple website. The parents of Balagokulam students must be members of HTCI and the membership form is available on the website as well.

Balagokulam classes are conducted in two groups, ages 5 to 8 and 9 to 12. The Chetna classes are for children 13 and above. Balagokulam classes are held every Sunday from 10:30 to Noon instead of 2nd and 4th Sunday to accommodate greater number of children. The Chetana Youth Classes only meet 2nd and 4th Sundays.

Every year the Balagokulam (for children) and Chetna classes (for youth 13 and above) are conducted based on a theme. The theme for this year is “Icons of Our History.” Using the links shown below, you can download the detailed flyers about Balgokulam, and Chetna programs and the calendar of events for this year.
