What is BSK?
Bal-Sanskar Kendra or BSK for short are sessions and camps conducted for all-round & comprehensive development of children/students. BSK is inspired by His Divine Holiness Sant Asaramji Bapu and coordinated by Bal Sanskar Kendra Dept., Shri Akhil Bhartiya Yoga Vedanta Seva Samiti, Sant Shri Asarmaji Ashram, Ahmedabad, Gujrat, India.
The FIVE guiding principles of BSK are:
1.Teach Yogic Practices to awaken Dormant Spiritual Powers.
2.Share Inspirational Anecdotes & Stories from Scriptures & History of India .
3.Instill Good Sacrament & cultural values for character building & success.
4.Provide Health Care tips & precautions for all seasons for healthy bodies.
5.Knowledge gain while having fun & playing games.
Why?
The real way to fortify the true grandeur of a family, society or nation is to embolden the children and students thereof. Childhood is the time when seeds of good character can be easily sown as children’s minds are clear, unbiased, and impressionable. Sanskars make life's foundation sound, Blossoming buds spread fragrance around.

Why BSK outside India?
Instilling Indian culture and values in children living abroad can be a challenge as:They are far way from our cultural roots, India. Parents have a very busy life trying to juggle work and family life. They are exposed to shopping malls, movie theaters, parties, and the materialistic culture more in general. Bal-Sanskar Kendra can therefore play a pivotal role to both parents and children outside India.
