The
things that I have expereinced in Bal Mandal are stories, lessons,
games, dances, instruments and it even teaches you how to speak
Gujarati. The most fun to me is when bal karyakers tell stories.
I feel that they are very interesting. I learn these stories and
tell them to my little brother at bedtime. He loves the stories
too. That is my experience in Bal Mandal

which is important. i also learend how to speak my mother tounge(gujrati).

of the guru parampara.i think bal sabha has helped me not just physicaly

I have
benefitted by attending bal sabha that I learn more and more everytime
I come there. We do kirtan, dhoon, jay naad,dhyan,prathna,presentations,and
much more other fun activities. It teaches me what I do wrong and
right. It helps me make friends with everyone. By coming to bal
sabha it helps me do more and more seva everytime I step into the
mandir. I get wiser and smarter by coming to bal mandal and gives
me more education. By coming to bal sabha it makes Maharaj and Swami
proud and makes me proud that I am a balak of Swami!And forever
in my heart I will always have Maharaj and Swami with me to take
me bal sabha and do satsang! "SwamiShriji"

At Bal Sabha, we
learn many important things. This helps me with
school. In school I used to be lazy and I never used to learn
anything. But now that I go to school I learn to center my mind
on
what needs to be done and I learn at Bal Sabha that it is Bapa’s
personal seva to study hard and at sabha I learn from two great
sanchalaks Nikhilbhai and Ankitbhai. All the stuff that we learn
helps
me in my daily life.

Going to Bal Sabha
has helped me a lot. It helped me become a better
person. It has taught me what are good and bad things. For example
staying away from maya. The niyams help me a lot too. For example
I
don’t watch TV because there are bad things on TV. Once again
going to
Bal Sabha has helped me a lot.

Nikhilbhai and Ankitbhai are really nice. They also encourage us
to
take niyams for our good and benefit. I have been in Bal Mandal

life. In Bal Mandal we practice for Bal Satsang Exams. I just
finished with Bal Satsang 2.

me because every time I come to sabha I learn how to
act good. I’ve also learned that I am the soul and not the
body. I’ve
also learned that you control the mind, the mind doesn’t control
you.
You shouldn’t be scared of anything because Maharaj is in you.

I learned that doing
tilak chandlo is good because it makes Bapa proud.
I also learned to ignore people that make fun of it because I know
it’s for my own good. It also teaches me to make the right
choices. I
like coming to Bal Sabha because it helps me with my life. It guides
me through life, like not eating out and not eating onions and garlic.
I want to make the right choices because I want to go to Akshardham
and
be with Maharaj and Swami.

I learned that
our main goal in life is to go to Akshardham. I learned
that Bhagatji Maharaj did a lot of seva and he only slept for
an hour
everyday. I learned Yogiji Maharaj told a lot of people to do
nirjala.
Bapa is our Guru and Bapa is coming to our region in June. I also
learned that Bhakti is better than Gnaan.

When
I first started coming to balika mandal I really loved it, why???
You might be asking, because this is Maharaj’s work being carried
out. Your knowledge of the satsang increases you get to take part
in competitions, which also increase a number of skills such as
your learning. If you do come, you can learn a lot from it

There are a
lot of benefits of coming to Bal Mandal which have affected
me. Bal Mandal has taught me from starting to behave for at least
5
minutes, to do antardrashti and improve myself in practical life.
Bal
Mandal has improved my grades because if I didn’t come to
Bal Sabha, I
would have very poor grades and I would hang out with bad kids
at
school. The niyams that I took help me benefit because I took
a TV
niyam and it helps me concentrate more on studies and improving
in
Satsang. It also has helped me to do more seva and to how to treat
others nicely. For example, not to take abhav-avgun and think
that
everything and everyone is divya. It has also helped me respect
my
parents and how to treat them like they are God. Bal Mandal has
helped
me so much and it is still helping me.

Bal Mandal, Bal
Mandal, Bal Mandal. There are so many important things
that I not only learned from Bal Mandal for home, but also for school.
All the way from reading one of my first books to respecting my
parents
I learned how to think in different perspectives instead of jumping
to
conclusions. Bal Mandal has guided me through school. With Bal Mandal
around, my days are extremely fun even in school. Bal Mandal has
made
my days organized. It has taught me to eat nutritionally and wisely
by
doing Ekadashi. It has given me an opportunity to become a better
speaker and a better singer. Bal Mandal has opened my narrow box
making me extremely sociable. Before I used to have only a few friends
in school, but because of my improved attitude, I am not only doing
better in school, but I also have so many friends.
