Cultural Program

Summer Cultural Program (Ramayan, Mahabharat)

The second generation kids have a big disconnect from our culture.
Parents have a choice to pick between Marathi Shala vs. Chinmaya Mission (or similar).
Idea here is to introduce our culture in an easy to understand format (Marathi and English language options will be available – English is recommended for wider reach).
If you are visiting India, then you can purchase the following books over there (Manoj Publications – Sawan Books).
BMM Certificates will be awarded to successful students.
