Social service projects are inspired by the well-known principle of ‘You, Not me’. Service is done not with the sense of giving but of sharing self-lessly without expecting anything in return. This helps the needy to overcome the state of lacking (आभाव) bravely facing the trials and tribulations in life. Service should not feed the ego of the one who serves, rather it should help him purify his mind (चित शुद्धि).

Monthly Magazine of the Mission

Besides other spiritual and social services programmes, we also bring out a monthly magazine ‘Chinmaya Amrit’. The magazine carries motivational articles by the eminent Swami of the Mission besides the information of our monthly programmes and their reports. Over the last more than 17 years the magazine has grown in its content, character and design.

Bal Vihar is weekly gathering of children in the age group of 5 to 15 years, that takes place in Chinmaya Mission centres under the supervision of trained teachers. The aim of Bal Vihar is to instil values in children. The young minds are imparted cultural and ethical values through the singing of bhajans (devotional songs), chanting of scriptures, hearing and narrating of Pauranik stories, celebrating important days, yoga and other delightful activities.
