<![CDATA[The issue highlighted in this research is about the context of implementing Saṁskṛta-Bālakendram in nonformal Pasraman in Lombok, which has not yet been studied specifically to discuss the strategic potential of this program in supporting the strengthening of Hindu religious education, even though this program has been run in several nonformal pasraman. In addition, the challenges faced in the implementation of Saṁskṛta-Bālakendram in nonformal pasraman have also not been systematically and scientifically studied. This research aims to examine the potential and challenges of Saṁskṛta-Bālakendram in supporting Hindu religious education in nonformal pasraman. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation study. The research results show that Saṁskṛta-Bālakendram has strong potential as a medium for mantra and śloka training, as well as a medium for learning moral virtues. However, the implementation of this program faces several challenges, including inconsistent student attendance, limited number of instructors, lack of support from the management of the pasraman, limited supporting facilities, and unclear class organization. Collaborative efforts are needed between pasraman management, teachers, parents, and Hindu community organizations and institutions to optimize the sustainability of this program. The results of this study are important in reinforcing the model of Hindu religious education and recommending the development of a more optimal curriculum and pasraman management for Sanskrit language learning in nonformal pasraman.]]>
