The Residential Vedanta Course was born out of a divine urgency from the vision of Swami Chinmayananda to revive the glory of spiritual knowledge by creating a new generation of bold, trained and rooted spiritual seekers.

With head, heart and hands engaged in disciplined sadhana, students are not merely informed but transformed. Since the first Course in 1963, Chinmaya Mission’s Residential Vedanta Courses have shaped individuals who live with conviction, clarity and compassion. Many of whom today serve as Swamins, Brahmacharins, teachers or as silent torchbearers in their homes, communities and fields of work.

The Residential Vedanta Course is offered in various Chinmaya Mission Centres across the world, including but not limited to India, Trinidad & Tobago, South Africa and the United States. It is conducted in multiple languages such as English, Hindi, Malayalam, Marathi and more, ensuring that seekers from diverse backgrounds can engage deeply with the teachings in a language that speaks to their heart.

Each Centre upholds the same uncompromising standards of the Gurukula system, under the guidance of trained Acharyas, following the vision set forth by Swami Chinmayananda.
