Chinmaya Mission New York is entirely volunteer-run in the spirit of karma yoga.

What is karma yoga?Dedicating ourselves in selfless service towards a high ideal is the spiritual practice of karma yoga. Through karma yoga, we learn how to work as a team producing more than what we consume and giving more than what we take. Each sevak or sevika learns to put aside his or her own likes/dislikes for the benefit of the community and fulfillment of Pujya Gurudev’s Vision. In this practice, the sevak/sevika actually benefits most by growing internally with a pure and quiet mind, preparing them further for their spiritual quest. They also have the privilege of engaging in something so fulfilling which positively touches the lives of many. Read Pujya Gurudev’s article – WHY SERVE?

Currently, Chinmaya Mission New York sevaks and sevikas serve as our Board of Directors, Bala Vihar Coordinators & Teachers, Study Group & CHYK (Chinmaya Yuva Kendra) Coordinators, Swaranjali Coordinators & Singers, Jnana Yajna Committee etc.
