Please do not wait until the last minute as it is difficult to respond on the morning of the class.

Please note that Sunday June 14th is the last day of Bala- Vihara virtual classes for this year.

On Sunday June 21st, we want all Bala Vihar children to join their parents on the Adult Zoom link, for the first 20 minutes.  There will be some special announcements and children certainly do not want to miss them.

The satsanga will be in webinar format. For the satsanga to be successful, we need everyone’s cooperation.  Please read and follow the Zoom session etiquette given below.

1.         Please have only one device (computer, iPad, smart phone etc.) per household for the session.

2.         Everyone should be punctual; they should join five minutes before the start time and attend until the class ends.

3.         Satsanga is a place of learning and worship, so please dress appropriately as you do for regular CMH class.

4.         Sit in a clean, proper place (study or prayer room if possible) with minimum disturbances or distractions.

5.         Likewise, NO eating during class! Finish breakfast/snack before you join the class.

6.         Be active and refrain from multitasking while you are in the class. Do NOT walk around or engage in other side activities while you are in class.

7.         Treat these sessions with respect just like the regular onsite classes.
