OUR AIM
The aim of Krishna Club is to provide a balanced system of Krishna Conscious education and character-building in children from an early age. Children will learn and apply Vaishnava culture and philosophy according to the teachings of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. The sessions will be exciting and hands-on, and will take place in a caring, nurturing and spiritual atmosphere.
By enrolling your child/children in Krishna Club, you will also be building a strong foundation for ISKCON’s devotional community to continue for generations to come.
“A child is a rare gift given by Krishna but at the same time a great responsibility – every parent has the responsibility to see that his child grows up Krishna Consciousness." - Srila Prabhupada
WHAT WILL CHILDREN DO?
At Krishna Club, children will:
- Chant japa
- Learn slokas from Bhagavad-Gita and other scriptures
- Make beautiful arts and crafts
- Read and bring-to-life stories from Ramayana, Mahabharata and Srimad-Bhagavatam
- Participate in dramas
- Sing bhajans
- And many other fun-filled activities!
"One who is sufficiently intelligent should use the human form of body from the very beginning of life — in other words, from the tender age of childhood — to practice the activities of devotional service, giving up all other engagements. The human body is most rarely achieved, and although temporary like other bodies, it is meaningful because in human life one can perform devotional service. Even a slight amount of sincere devotional service can give one complete perfection." - Prahlada Maharaja, Srimad-Bhagavatam, 7.6.1
FACILITATORS
Each session will be facilitated by one of our volunteer teachers. They will be accompanied by at least one volunteer teaching assistant. Both our teachers and teaching assistants have undergone an interview process, have experience in working with children, and are DBS-checked.
REGISTRATION
All registrations are on a first-come first-served basis as we have limited spaces. By registering, you commit to your child/children attending Krishna Club on most weeks so that they fully benefit from the sessions.
