Chinmaya Mission in Little Rock was started with Balavihar in October 2011 with 3 teachers and about 20 children. The group has grown progressively over the years and has graduated 6 students from the Balavihar program. We currently have more than 100 children and about 15 teachers. We also conduct Study group for adults and have many community events through the year.
We were very fortunate to host Swamini Vimlananda in November 2016. Swaminiji spoke about “Mind the Mind.” The audience comprising of youth and adults enjoyed her talk and left with some practical tips.

In April 2018 we had the privilege of hosting Swamini Supriyananda. Swaminiji enthralled kids and adults with her story on Hanumanji. Many members of the group have had the opportunities to visit different Mission centers.
In 2020 we hosted Swami Sarveshananda over Zoom to conduct 4 sessions on Meditation. Each session took us closer to an understanding of the technique.
The Local chapter meets every Sunday from 4-5.30 pm for Shishuvihar, Balavihar and Study group. We have assembly time from 4-4.30 pm where we teach bhajans, shlokas, Gita chanting and share stories. Individual classes are from 4.30 -5.30 pm.
