This is Chinmaya Mission’s newest creative device to ‘catch them young’; a forum for anyone aged below 6 years. Shishu Vihar is an assemblage of infants, toddlers and young and new parents for early introduction to spiritual education.
Bala Vihar is a weekly gathering of children, between the ages of five to thirteen years that takes place in Chinmaya Mission Centres or in private homes, under the supervision of trained teachers. The aim of Bala Vihar is to help children bloom, grow, and inculcate values through fun-filled activities. Bala Vihar enhances the overall development of the personality of a child at all levels — physical, emotional, intellectual, cultural and spiritual.
A platform where youngsters are chiseled to become dynamic leaders for tomorrow with a spiritual base and a national outlook through experiential learning of our ancient knowledge and wisdom.
Chinmaya Setukari serves as a bridge between the Yuva Kendra and mature age devotees of Chinmaya Mission, ‘building bonds’ between the young and the old in these fast-changing times.
Developing an inquiring, reflective mind is the first objective of the Study Group.
The objective of the Devi Group is to impart spiritual knowledge thus empowering women to disseminate the knowledge gathered to their family. Devi Group training enables women to equip themselves with the wherewithal to promote tradition with wisdom and understanding. They play an important role in raising the cultural standard in pockets of society becoming catalysts for family, community and societal transformation.
The Central Chinmaya Vanaprastha Sansthan (CCVS) is the senior citizens wing of Chinmaya Mission uniting people over sixty years of age. CCVS encourages senior citizens to pursue the final spiritual goal of life and shows them the means to achieve it. It assists and trains householders and near-retirees (vanaprasthis) to make a smoother and easier transition from life in grihasta ashram to life in vanaprastha ashram.
The musical wing of Chinmaya mission, aims at experiencing divinity through Bhajans. Swaranjali doesn't demand one to be a trained musician, all that is required is *'music from your heart'* and completely giving oneself to the Lord.
Swami Tapovan Maharaj was that pristine glacier of Self-knowledge through whom flowed the Ganga of Vedantic Wisdom of Swami Chinmayananda, the architect of the Chinmaya Movement.
Swami Chinmayananda was one of the 20th century's most world-renowned and revered exponents of Vedanta, the foundation of Hindu religion and culture.
Swami Tejomayananda is a living portrait of simplicity with depth, humility with courage, and wisdom with devotion. Always jovial, smiling, and welcoming, he is readily accessible and approachable to all who seek the knowledge of Vedanta from him.
"Fill the heart with the oil of love, place in it the wick of single-pointed mind. Light it with the knowledge of truth and remove the darkness of ignorance around you. Just as one lamp can light many lamps let each youth kindle this light in many hearts"
He is the Advisor of the All India Chinmaya Yuva Kendra (AICHYK) the global youth wing of Chinmaya Mission.
Brahmacharya Anand Chaitanya was a Business Programmer prior to being a full timer in Chinmaya Mission. Later, he has undergone the two year residential Vedanta Course in Sandeepany Sadhanayala, Mumbai and initiated as a monk to Chinmaya Mission.
Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Anna Nagar, was founded on 1st January 1989, under the able guidance of Swami Chinmayananda, with 11 students and four faculty members.
Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Taylors Road,the Vidyalaya marked its beginning with a meagre strength of 30 students at 13th Avenue Harrington Road, on 20th October 1968.

Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Tirupathi, a highly progressive school pledged to provide quality education with great emphasis on traditional values. We believe in moulding our students to be brave and courageous always, to face every experience in their life with a smile on their face.

Bhaja Govindam is one of Adi Sankaracharya's most beautiful works, composed in clear and effective language and addressed to simple folk struggling with the demands of life but also capable of keeping intellectual philosophers engrossed. The fundamentals of Vedanta are indicated in 31 simple but powerful verses. Adi Sankara ruthlessly dissects the shell of thoughtlessness veiling the glory of man. He points to the wretchedness of the state of one who is spiritually ignorant and shows the path to redemption.
Bhaja Govindam is rightly described as a fragrant bouquet of verses. The clear precise and eloquent commentary of Swami Chinmayananda adds to the fragrance of the original composition; inviting the spiritual seeker to reflect upon the meaning of the verses, attempt to understand, absorb and live the truth behind the words.

Realisation through Knowledge
(The Second Chapter of Bhagavad Geeta)
This chapter entitled Sankhya-yoga, the seeker gets an exhaustive summary, as it were, of the whole philosophical content of the Geeta. From stanzas 55 to 60, it has an exhaustive, though hasty, sketch of the yoga of action as adumbrated in the entire Geeta. From stanzas 61 to 70, the path of love (Bhakti-yoga), has been indicated and in 71 and 72, the path of renunciation (Sannyasa-yoga), has been slightly suggested. Thus, the second chapter of the Geeta can be taken as an epitome of the entire Geeta. In the Geeta all the Known paths to perfection sketched out in the Vedas namely, jnana, bhakti and karma, by which realization of the Upanishads is reached when one has fully purified oneself by the pursuit of ritualism, karma-kanda and has spent a period of time in living the upasana-kanda. All these are explained in the Geeta and much more – the synthesis of them all, as individual in the body of Geeta – Chapter 2.
Lord Sri Krishna points out those characteristic attitudes in a Realised saint, which are attainable by all through right efforts and which constitute the means.
These 18 verses (Sthitaprajna Lakshna) give the complete and exhaustive exposition of the inner experience and the outer conduct of a Man of Steady Wisdom. By narrating the inner and outer life of a Man of Self realization, Geeta helps us to detect for ourselves the right type of Masters from the charlatans. Apart from this, these verses have a direct appeal to all sincere sadhakas inasmuch as this section give to them an easy thumb rule as to what type of values and mental attitudes one should develop during their practice, in order to realize the ever effulgent divinity within them, in other words, the pure Awareness.
A Man of Steady Wisdom is one who has accomplished this feat and experienced the Self. Therefore, a Man of Steady Wisdom is one who has reached beyond the veil of ignorance without any trace of ignorance
The Man of Steady Wisdom, self-satisfied in the Self, can no more entertain any desire or have any appetite for the paltry objects of the body, of the mind or of the intellect. He becomes the very source of all Bliss
