Youth Enrichment Programs and Heritage Summer Camps
We believe art is prayer. Our youth programs use theatre, classical music, and the timeless wisdom of self-enquiry to help children find confidence, focus, and a sense of belonging.
A moment of quiet reflection during a group activity at our Ramana Summer Camp. We guide children to find their centre, blending mindfulness with playful exercises to build focus and inner calm, a practice central to the path of self-enquiry.
This video montage captures the vibrant energy of our summer camp's final performance. From prayerful beginnings to expressive theatrical scenes, every child gets a chance to shine on stage, building confidence and camaraderie.
An invitation to our annual Ramana Summer Camp, a cornerstone of our youth programs. This poster highlights the core activities we offer: shlokas, music, dance, and drama, all designed to impart life skills with a special emphasis on self-awareness.
We are humbled to present "Shanthi - Shakthi, The Power of Peace," a dance drama performed by 100 visually challenged artistes from the Shree Ramana Maharishi Academy. This powerful production explores the vision of Mahatma Gandhi through art, showcasing the boundless potential within every soul.
Young participants are seen here deeply engaged in a theatre workshop scene. Through storytelling and drama, we help children explore emotions, develop empathy, and learn to communicate effectively, transforming ancient wisdom into relatable experiences.
Our annual "Ramana Natyopasana" is a grand theatre production where young artistes showcase their learning. This performance, "Ramana and Animals," highlights Bhagavan's compassion for all beings, a core value we instill through our cultural education.
A glimpse into our RAISE program's dance drama, "Shanti Shakti - Gandhi and Ramana," presented by 400 students from a local government school. This initiative brings the transformative power of theatre and dance to the wider community.
About this collection
We approach art as a form of devotion and self-reflection, not merely as performance. During our 15 to 20 day summer camps, your child will step away from academic pressure to explore theatre and classical arts in a quiet, heritage-filled setting. Every student participates in our final stage production, a moment where they find confidence and personal expression.
A Journey of Self-Awareness
Our programs for children aged 4 and above are built on the teachings of Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi. We do not focus on competition, but rather on the internal growth that comes from disciplined practice. Whether in our summer camps or weekly Bala Kendra classes, the goal is to provide a space where a child can pause, look inward, and develop a calm mind.
Summer Camp: Theatre, Music, and Yoga
Held annually every April and May at our Sanjaynagar campus, these sessions are designed to engage children in a balanced environment.
- Theatre Arts: We move beyond simple acting to focus on script reading, dialogue, and mythological storytelling.
- Classical Arts: Students are introduced to the nuances of Sangeetham (Carnatic vocal) and Natya (Bharatanatyam mudras).
- Holistic Growth: We integrate yoga, breathing exercises, and the learning of Shlokas to help children manage emotions and improve concentration.
Ramana Bala Kendra
For families seeking year-round guidance, our Bala Kendra meets once a week. These sessions are available in online or hybrid formats, ensuring consistent exposure to heritage, chanting, and traditional values.
Performance as Offering
We believe in the power of the stage. Every summer camp concludes with a live production at the Ramana Maharshi Heritage Auditorium. Our past presentations like 'Ramana - my friend' and 'Shanthi - Shakthi' showcase the dedication of our students, who use art to express their understanding of compassion and peace.
Ramana Maharshi Centre for Learning
We started this centre with the teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi in our hearts. We believe art is a pathway to self-discovery, and we cordially invite your children to explore this journey with us. All are welcome to join our community, whether for a summer camp or our weekly heritage classes.
