How Baba taught the Balavikas children!

[Guest guest]

Few years ago, i had the opportunity to participate in Prasanthi seva. I

was posted to North block where foreigners were staying. There was a programme

going on in Sai Kulwant Hall for Balavikas children and fortunately, there was a

loud speaker opposite to the North Block. I was fortunate to hear the Divine

Discourse which made an imprint in my Heart. Actually Baba was addressing the

Balavikas children. He commented on the choice of books, students read for pass

time. Swami warned that children should never read horror stories and other

trash comic books. They should select good books for their reading which will

mold their character like the stories of saints and sages, stories of Ramayana

and Mahabarath. They should learn about the rich tradition of our country which

was abounding with various cultures. Students should imbibe fine lessons of

human values from young ages etc. It is the parent who should guide their

children to read only good and noble books. The values they imbibe during

childhood days will go a long way in building their character. I found that the

few lessons Baba taught on the day will become the foundation for future India.

I have no doubt that these Balvikas children, will become future pillars of our

nation. Training them on proper reading habits will guide them to be responsible

citizens later. Sairam,Saisaran.
