Our Values

Culture

Through various activities, BAPS encourages children, youths, and adults to experience the beauty and richness of Hindu culture and to develop a sense of identity and pride in their heritage.

BAPS is an integral part of the Indian American community in North America in celebrating our shared culture.

Youth Development

At the core of BAPS activities for youth is preserving Hindu culture.

Weekly classes held at BAPS centers teach children how to play instruments like harmonium and tabla. Weekly Gujarati classes allow them to reconnect with their mother tongue. Regular cultural programs give them an opportunity to learn how to sing and dance in traditional Indian formats.
