Children were constantly in Swami Chinmayananda’s thoughts. The Chinmaya Mission Magazine, Balvihar was created in order to link Bala Vihars all over India and the world so that the children could, through its pages, share common bonds of love, learning and laughter. In his message for the inaugural issue of the Balvihar magazine, Swami Chinmayananda wrote, “We shall, through this journal, build bridges of love and understanding between children everywhere, and we shall learn to create a greater world out of what our parents have given us now.” Since then, Balvihar has grown over the years to become a prominent and acclaimed children's international monthly magazine. With its full-colour presentation, appealing design and inspiring messages and stories, it is attempting to re-inculcate the reading habit in children all over the world.

The Balvihar magazine:
• provides children with new, interesting and stimulating articles on Indian culture and sacred stories on a regular basis
•  is full of poems, riddles, jokes and quizzes;
•  motivates children to read, think and write originally and creatively
•  encourages and develops a life-long habit of reading
•  builds a foundation of strong ideals and moral values
•  has vibrant illustrations that captivate the reader’s imagination and makes reading and learning fun!
