Swami Chinmayananda
Founder of Chinmaya Mission
From 1951 to 1993, driven by gratitude to those who taught him, selfless love, and a vision of universal happiness, Swami Chinmayananda tirelessly spread the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads to people around the world.
His love and service have inspired countless others to put those teachings into practice in their own lives and throughout their communities..
God Himself shines here as lakes and springs, as these tall peaks and crystalline streams.
