The BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha is a spiritual, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to improving society through individual growth by fostering the Hindu ideals of faith, unit yand selfless service.
BAPS Swaminarayan temple – Brisbane is serving the very purpose of the organization since last 5 years.
At BAPS Swaminarayan Temple, Brisbane, on 10 March 2019, Param Pujya Bhaktipriya Swami (Kothari Swami), Senior Saint performed the Vedic pujan of bricks to be laid in the foundation of the new building “Bal Sanskar Sadan” (Kids Activity Centre) to be built in Brisbane. This building is an extension to existing facilities of BAPS Brisbane Temple. Present on this auspicious occasion was Dr. Jim Chalmers Federal Member for Rankin, Queensland, join the Vedic rituals of Khaat vidhi.
Because of the growing decadence in values, our world is overwhelmed with spiralling problems. BAPS understand that the solution to securing the promising future is by nurturing our children today.
Bal Sanskar Sadan would facilitate academic programs, character building initiatives, and wellness programs. Children would be provided with a platform to practice and perfect their talents, while maintaining functioning relationships with their parents. With the skills developed through these initiatives, BAPS encourage Children to contribute to the larger Australian community.
The primary aim of Bal Sanskar Sadan is to mould children to create a better society and a brighter future!
At Bal Sanskar Sadan below three important things are said to be focused:
• Develop virtues like humility, tolerance, service, etc. and organize children’s lives through training programs in time management, cleanliness, personal health care and endeavour.
• Instil pride and dignity for our culture through traditions, history and heritage.
• Foster our faith through prayers, satsang, rituals, spiritual reading and devotional singing.
The new Bal Sanskar Sadan will facilitate value-based activities so that future generations can be anchored in their faith and spirituality and continue to strive and grow as good citizens while retaining valuable traditions and culture.
The centre will provide a place for kids to play indoor sports year-round while building supportive friendships. It will also host workshops for humanity development, language and classical music and instruments. The training is unique – it is value-based.
BAPS teaches children to not only develop their talents and perform but to do so in order to benefit others. The Kids centre will also help meet the needs of the community by providing a facility for open events such as walkathons, health fairs, and conferences to name a few.
