Empowering Young Minds through Kishori Vikas Shibir at Thiruvananthapuram

Vivekananda Kendra Kanyakumari, Kerala Prant, Thiruvananthapuram Branch conducted the Kishori Vikas Shibir on 29th June 2025 at Hindu Mahila Mandir, Poojapura from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.    The event was attended by 38 participants and included a series of engaging activities designed to cultivate confidence, character, and cultural awareness among young girls.

The session began with three Omkars and Shanti Path, followed by devotional bhajans. Team-building games were conducted, with a meaningful discussion that helped participants reflect on cooperation and shared effort. Aadarneeya Radha Didi, Kerala Prant Sangathak, VRM&VK then narrated an inspiring story about a beggar who transformed into a king, emphasizing that our real nature is divine and that self-confidence arises when we recognize this truth. “Shape up your life and lead it dynamically,” she urged the participants.

Following a patriotic song, three real-life situations were presented, which the girls enacted in groups. The role-plays sparked creativity, critical thinking, and team spirit. Meditation and Omkar chanting brought calm and introspection to the session.

Several participants expressed their appreciation during the experience-sharing segment, noting that these classes consistently offered moral guidance and values that were useful in their lives. The programme concluded with the chanting of the Shanti Mantra.
