Bal Bhagwat
Origin of Balbhagawat:-
In Mahabhagawat Prahalladji explains the children that, ‘Wises the being who starts getting involved in the spiritual preaching (Satsang) at very young age’. Keep in mind this noble explanation; Bhaiyaji selected various incidents from the divine ancient literature in the form of ‘Shrimad Bhagawat Puran’ which are related & helpful for children by the inspiration of his guru H.H. Swami Govinddev Giriji. This is how ‘Balbhagawat Katha’ in the form of discourse program was organized for the very first time in India at his own birth place kalu in Bikaner. This program was not only liked by the children but by their parents too. Until now this kind of discourse program on ‘Balbhagawat’ has been organized at various places like Yawatmal, Lucknow, Jalgaon and Dhuliya etc. Thousands of children get enculturated at the same time with the help of the discourse on ‘Balbhagawat’ children are the actual heritage of the nation & enculturation at an early stage of childhood provides better direction to the children for their whole life. Putting this idea at the base Bhaiyaji has started the ‘Balbhagawat katha’. In this program various glimpse are decorated in context to the incidents based on Bhagawat literature by which children get totally immersed in the discourse.
