The humanity world - over is in a threshold of crisis of explosion. The crisis is manifold; but the root cause is the crisis of culture. India, once considered as mother of all cultures, was capable to impart the art of harmonious living in a society and holding high the mantle of peace is also facing the crisis that is engulfing the rest of the world today.

The crisis of culture and crisis of character are two sides of the same coin. Because it is the society with men of character of high esteem that maintain the cultural values in that society. Since time immemorial Indian society lived a life of character by treading through a path which was shown by the teachings of great sages who had chosen the way of   penances rather than selfish ends for fulfillment of their lives.

The degeneration of values have fetched in end-products of chaos, confusion, ruthless rivalry between individuals, societies, and nations based on sheer exploitation. Indians also started marrying the theory of “survival of the fittest” propagated by western minds which bring up a generation without any commitment to the nation and even to their own kith and kin. It has become very difficult to find a real torch bearer of ethics and values around us. All developmental plans and programmes of any governmental and non governmental machinery aimed at the progress of the society cannot find a fruitful end because of lack of conviction and dedication at the helm of affairs in those machineries. Any attempt oriented on stability of progress in a society will not turn to be successful unless it is well footed on refining the members of that society. Refining not on material plains alone but it should be spiritual also.  A society which ignores spiritual potentialities will not be able to nurture a generation to contribute to the development of that society and humanity at large.

It is with this clear understanding, the Balagokulam is functioning. This organization is aimed at bringing up young boys and girls strictly in lines of teaching of our great forefathers. This unique organization ensures a motherly responsibility towards its members. The care and promise it gives to the young ones in its fold are aimed to inculcate a sense of belonging to their culture, tradition and the nation they live in. Balagokulam intend to open up new vistas of knowledge to the hearts of the young ones while they are free to acquire all other knowledge they can amass from their academic and social spheres. The knowledge that Balagokulam imparts to them is what was well defined by Swami Vivekananda as “manifestation of divinity in oneself.”  Once that knowledge can be acquired by them, their minds will not get polluted by any other inferior knowledge and they will be able to lead a meaningful life useful to their real self, their family and the society they live in with full contentment and fulfillment of the real mission of their life.
