About Chinmaya Mission
In December 1951 in Pune, India, the great saint, Swami Chinmayananda
delivered his first public address on Vedanta. That was the start of
the dynamic’Chinmaya Movement’ which aimed at spreading
the man-making knowledge of Vedanta to all corners of India and the
world. Chinmaya Mission was formed in 1953 by devotees of Swami Chinmayananda
to give organizational structure and cohesiveness to the work ad the
activities being initiated by Swami Chinmayananda.
Over the year, Chinmaya Mission grew into a world-wide organization.
Today, it is involved in:
Spreading the sublime knowledge of Vedanta-
Vedanta in the core
of Hindu philosophy. In fact, it is a universal science of life. A
science which is relevant to all people everywhere, whatever their
faith. An understanding of Vedanta would inspire people to understand
their own faith (whichever it may be) better. Therefore, although Chinmaya
Mission is a Hindu spiritual organization, it does not seek to change
or convert anyone’s beliefs. Chinmaya Mission’s stated
mission is: “to provide to individuals, form any background,
the wisdom of Vedanta and the practical means for spiritual growth
and happiness enabling them to become positive contributors to society”
Re-invigorating Indian culture-
Chinmaya Mission is also involved
in re-invigorating Indian culture in general. The Mission has forums
for different age groups and for professionals, with each forum engaged
in understanding and promoting Indian culture and spirituality. The
Mission also promotes Indian music, dance, drama, art and literature.
It also runs many temples, carries out research into Indian scriptures,
traditions, rituals and languages, and has a vibrant publication division
so that spiritual and cultural books, periodicals, audio tapes, video
tapes and photographs may reach as may people as possible.
Doing extensive social service-
Chinmaya Mission is also actively
involved in social services focussing especially on disadvantaged and
underprivileged people. Hundreds of thousand of people benefit form
the Mission’s schools, colleges, hospitals, diagnostic centres,
old age homes and rural village development project. “To give
maximum happiness to the maximum number for the maximum time is our
religion. “ This is the Mission’s motto. Chinmaya Mission
has 243 centres in India and around the world, which organize and coordinate
the activities of the Mission in 1993, Swami Tejomayananda became the
