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.

The aim of Central Chinmaya Vanaprastha Sansthan (CCVS) is to assist and train householders and near-retirees to make a smoother and easier transition from life in grihasta ashram to life in vanaprastha ashram, and finally to sannyaasa. It strives to improve the quality and style of life for senior citizens through lifelong learning and selfless service. The learning aspect includes training in prevention and cure of old-age diseases through a holistic approach, tackling financial, social, psychological problems of the aging population and above all, understanding the aims of the third and fourth stages of human life and the means of achieving them.
To give a comprehensive vision to senior citizens and to make their life healthy, serene, comfortable, purposeful and happy.
Chinmaya Mission’s services for senior citizens are innovative, practical and unique. They help society’s elders find a harmonious balance between action and inaction, a remarkable strength in retirement, comfort and security within a like-minded community and the beauty and wisdom of spiritual evolution.
Operating two specific projects, both providing the same amenities and with the same goals, Chinmaya Mission offers senior citizens the services of Pitamaha Sadans and Central Chinmaya Vanaprastha Sansthan (CCVS).
As per Indian tradition human life is divided into four segments each of about 25 year’s duration - Brahmacharya, Grihasta, Vanaprastha and Sannyaasa. After discharging the responsibilities of a Grihasta (householder), one is advised to adopt a Vanaprastha (retiree) lifestyle for spiritual attainment. Traditionally, Vanaprasthis were expected to retire to a forest ashram and live an austere life coupled with intensive spiritual practices. Unfortunately, with the passage of time and changed circumstances, the grihasta life segment has been prolonged reaching to the end of an individual’s life.
In accordance with the four stages taught in the Vedas, when a householder enters his later years or nears retirement, it is most beneficial for him or her to withdraw from the stresses and pressures of a materialistic lifestyle, to spend more time seeking and finding inner peace. In the word ‘vanaprastha’, ‘stha’ means ‘staying', and in the vanam (forest), implies staying away from home. However, in the Kena Upanishad, the word ‘vanam’ has a different meaning and refers to Paramatma - the Supreme Lord. So, one meaning is ‘forest,’ but the other meaning is ‘Paramatma Brahma’. Thus, the meaning of vanaprastha is ‘one who intends to abide in Brahman alone’.
