Why enroll your child in Bal-Mukund?
Give Your Child a Head Start to a Successful and Fulfilling Life with Bal-Mukund
Just as an acorn carries the potential of becoming an oak tree, children carry in them infinite potential for future greatness. In a fast-changing world filled with distractions and pressures, giving your child the right foundation has never been more important. As a parent, your greatest aspiration is to see your child grow into a confident and successful human being.
The Bal-Mukund program, offered by Jagadguru Kripaluji Yog (JKYog) and conceptualized by Swami Mukundananda, offers the most precious gift for your child’s bright future in training them with Divine Virtues and lofty ideals. This unique program offers children aged 5–17 years, a transformative journey in nurturing their body, mind, and soul through character building and spiritual enrichment.
It’s more than just a weekend program – BalMukund lays the foundation for lifelong success – it’s a life-shaping experience rooted in timeless Vedic wisdom that instills inner-strength and clarity to navigate life’s challenges. The Bal-Mukund program plants the seeds of devotional sentiments into young minds to help them grow into resilient and purpose-driven adults.
Just as Saint Prahlad said in the Bhagavatam:
"Kaumāra ācharet prājño dharmān bhāgavatān iha"
“One must begin practicing the principles of devotion from childhood itself.”
— Shreemad Bhagavatam 7.6.1
Invest in the future of your child by enrolling them in the Bal-Mukund program and watch them blossom into well-rounded, successful, and value-driven individuals.
Bhagavad Gita
The sacred Bhagavad Gita or Song of God is more than just an epic – it is the ultimate universal guide to a life of peace and fulfilment. Teaching the youth the Bhagavad Gita is essential as it describes clear-cut techniques to implement spiritual percepts in everyday practical life, helping youth navigate the complexities of modern existence.
The Gita emphasizes that spirituality is not separate from daily responsibilities; rather, it sanctifies every aspect of life. By learning about different types of Yog, such as Karm Yog, young individuals can understand how to perform their worldly duties while maintaining a connection with the divine. This balance fosters a sense of purpose and fulfillment in their actions.
Moreover, Gita offers profound insights that go beyond immediate problems, aiming for a deeper enlightenment that addresses the root of ignorance. This unique program is intended to offer youth aged between 11-17 years, long-term spiritual benefits offered and aims to equips them with:
- wisdom to grow into confident leaders,
- overcome life's challenges with resilience and
- make wise decisions with clarity.
Ultimately, the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita empower them to lead a life that harmonizes material success with spiritual growth, ensuring a holistic approach to their development.

- Ketan
We enrolled our daughter in Balmukund to be closer to our Indian culture. We could see she has learnt a lot about our culture and has been very outspoken and expressive. Thanks to the Balmukund staff who have been working hard to teach our culture and values to kids.
