  • Swami Chinmayananda

    Swami Chinmayananda Saraswati (born as Balakrishna Menon; 8 May 1916 – 3 August 1993) was a Hindu spiritual leader and teacher who inspired the formation of Chinmaya Mission, a worldwide nonprofit organisation, to spread the knowledge of Advaita Vedanta, the nondual system of thought found in the Upanishads, which epitomise the philosophical teachings of the Vedas.

    Swami ji is acknowledged as saint who pioneered a renaissance within Hinduism- that knocked at doors, swept homes and ended the monopoly of orthodox priests over Vedanta, handing the priceless knowledge of scriptures to the masses of India and the world.

    Monthly Widow Ration Pension Distribution

    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).

    Chinmaya Amrit

    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.

    BALA VIHAR

    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.
