SSSGC Jakarta : SSSE Balvikas Children Celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi Through Love, Learning and Devotion

The Sri Sathya Sai Educare (Balvikas) Program of SSSGC Jakarta, Indonesia, celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi on Friday, September 18, 2026, with an approximate attendance of more than 90 students and teachers. As the Balvikas classes are conducted every Friday from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., the celebration provided a meaningful opportunity for children to deepen their love and devotion to Lord Ganesha, who is often regarded as one of the first deities introduced to children in the Sri Sathya Sai Educare Program. Lord Ganesha is cherished by the Balvikas children for His inspiring stories, divine form, and various attributes that resonate with the hearts and minds of young learners as they develop Human Values. The celebration featured a variety of engaging and devotional activities, including mantra chanting, a medley of bhajans performed by Group IV Girls, the creation of a Chocolate Ganesha followed by its immersion in milk, a Lord Ganesha-themed Jeopardy game, speeches by the children, and stage performances, culminating in Mangala Aarti. The entire event unfolded in an atmosphere of joy, enthusiasm, and devotion, with students and teachers sharing beautiful moments of togetherness and celebration. The radiant smiles and happiness of the children reflected the blessings and grace of Lord Ganesha, making the occasion a memorable experience for everyone. In the spirit of the saying, “Swami certainly charged everyone’s batteries,” the celebration left the participants feeling spiritually uplifted, energized, and filled with love. JAI SAI RAM.
