Hari Om!  

This is an important year for the entire Chinmaya family - our Pujya Gurudev's 108th Jayanti year - to commemorate which, an extraordinary tribute to the Master has been planned.

On each of the 108 days leading up to the 108th Chinmaya Jayanti, the Chinmaya Archives website, Chinmaya Channel on YouTube and the Swami Chinmayananda account on Instagram will share a new update on one of the first 108 Jnana Yajnas by Pujya Gurudev.

108 days before the 108th Chinmaya Jayanti happens to be 22 January 2024, the blessed day of the Pran Pratishtha of Shri Ram Lalla Mandir in Ayodhya! We begin this online celebration of Pujya Gurudev's work and teachings, holding dear in our hearts His own contribution to this glorious day in Bharat's history!

The online pilgrimage will include details about the background of each Yajna and a few photographs (where available), accompanied by a write-up based on information available from Tyagi magazine.

An innovative "Think" section will enable contemplation on a thought-provoking takeaway from the Yajna. The very special crowning glory is a video excerpt from the text taught in the Yajna.

Here is a list of upcoming Make It Happen™ courses by Pujya Swamiji, which will take place in 2024.

Since its inception, the focus of Chinmaya Mission has been to spread the Self-empowering teachings of Vedanta via various platforms – study classes, Jnana Yajnas, camps and Vedanta courses.

Pujya Gurudev’s far-sighted vision continues to make its mark and transform the lives of more and more individuals globally. Chinmaya Mission has, over the years, carved out a prime place in the transfer of spiritual knowledge to all seekers.
