The inner transformation of individuals through knowledge of Vedanta, spiritual practices and service to society, resulting in a happy world around them.
Chinmaya Mission® was established in India in 1953 by devotees of the world-renowned Vedanta teacher, His Holiness Swami Chinmayananda. Guided by his vision, devotees all around the world formed the nucleus of a spiritual renaissance movement that now encompasses a wide range of spiritual, educational, and charitable activities. Presently, headed by His Holiness Swami Swaroopananda, the Mission stands today with over 300 centres worldwide.
What does Chinmaya Mission teach? Following the Vedic guru-shishya parampara, the Mission makes available the ageless wisdom of Advaita Vedanta—the universal science of life. While rooted in Hinduism, it does not seek to convert, but inspires seekers to understand their own faith better through the knowledge of universal oneness.
As a spiritual movement aiming for inner growth, the mission offers Vedanta study forums for all ages, promotes Indian classical arts, and operates numerous social service projects. Millions worldwide continue to benefit from the mission's ashrams, classes, and global events.
Guided by the vision of our great masters.
Swami Tejomayananda is the former Head of Chinmaya Mission Worldwide, a position he held since 1993 after Swami Chinmayananda attained Mahasamadhi. If Swami Chinmayananda served the cause of Vedanta with his service, knowledge and pioneering qualities, Swami Tejomayananda – fondly addressed as Guruji – completed that with his natural attitude of devotion. This is richly and abundantly evident in his talks, his singing, and his demeanour. But the gentleness of devotion arrived riding on the back of an intense education in physics, going up to a Master’s degree. Born, Sudhakar Kaitwade to a Maharashtrian family in Madhya Pradesh, this physicist had a close encounter that changed the velocity, direction and path of his life.
In an era rife with scepticism and confusion about matters spiritual, Swami Swaroopananda is a rare voice that blends authenticity with accessibility; theory with self- practice; logic with heart. Formerly the Regional Head of Chinmaya Mission Australia, United Kingdom, Middle East, Africa and Far East, and presently Chairman of the Chinmaya Vishwavidyapeeth Trust (University for Sanskrit and Indic Traditions) and Director of the Chinmaya International Residential School in Coimbatore, South India, Swami Swaroopananda has now been bestowed by Swami Tejomayananda the privilege to also serve as the Head of Chinmaya Mission Worldwide.
