Head of Chinmaya Mission

Swami Chinmayananda

“Gurudev” founder of Chinmaya Mission

Swami Tejomayananda

Is the former Head of Chinmaya Mission Worldwide, a position he held since 1993 after Swami Chinmayananda attained Mahasamadhi.

Swami Swaroopananda

Present head of Chinmaya Mission World Wide

Our Founder

Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda was a great ascetic of modern India, who worked ceaselessly for over four decades, spreading the Vedantic message of peace and happiness to the people of all classes around the globe.
th Balakrishnan Menon was born on 8 May 1916, at Ernakulam Kerala. He was an inquisitive and intelligent child.
He acquired degrees in law & literature. But mere degrees did not satisfy him. Sensitive to the freedom struggle of the country he joined the Indian Independence Movement in 1942.
He became the Chief Reporter of the National Herald at Delhi. He earned the reputation of being the "forceful and dynamic voice" of all controversial issues like the British rule.
The radical journalist in him wanted to expose the "bluff of the masters" and this sent him to Rishikesh to interview Swami Shivananda. The meeting transformed him. The sceptic in Menon dissolved & Swami Shivananda initiated him into the holy order of sanyasa on 25 February, 1949. He was named Swami Chinmayananda Saraswati one who revels in the bliss of Pure Consciousness.
His austerity strengthened under the great Himalayan hermit, Swami Tapovan Maharaj, known as the Glory of the Himalayas who taught him the scriptures, discipline and a spiritual way of life. Swami Tapovan Maharaj was a realist and wanted his disciple to first know the world as it is, before making his final decision. So he advised him to travel across India for a year, penniless and see the real India.
After a year of travel, Swami Chinmayananda gave his first talk "Let us be Hindus" at a Ganesha temple in Pune. Thus was born the Chinmaya Movement in December 1951. From then onwards, he became a globetrotter touching the hearts of millions, including scholars at Harvard, M.I.T. and other accredited American and European universities. Pujya Gurudev was not just a great person but an institution in himself.
His name became synonymous with Bhagwad Gita and the Upanishads. He initiated a revival of Indian culture and spirituality at a time when it was most needed. He was chosen to be the President of the centenary celebrations of the World Parliament of Religions at Chicago. Just prior to that, he attained mahasamadhi at rd San Diego, USAon 3 August 1993. "Swamiji was one of the greatest spiritual teachers of modern India.
His legacy remains in the form of a global Organization - Chinmaya Mission. He has authored 30 books and written commentaries on various spiritual texts. Gurudev more than once declared that he wished to bring "Hindus back to Hinduism". He believed that Vedanta is the spiritual birth right of every human being. The 96 Chinmaya Vidyalayas, an International Residential School, and 6 Chinmaya Colleges and one university - Chinmaya Vishwavidyapeeth offer education with a difference under Chinmaya Mission. The difference in these institutions is the Chinmaya Vision Programme (CVP) which complements academic excellence with value based education.

Message

Dear Children

Hari Om ! Hari Om ! Hari Om !

Salutations !

This is not a school. This is an extension of the home of my children. This is the true concept of Chinmaya Vidyalaya with minimum children in each class, so that the teacher's responsibility becomes double of each child's mother. The institution protects and provides a warm atmosphere of love and affection in which the children grow and are nurtured and nourished by the teacher mother. This is the concept with which I started schools scattered all over India.
The parents have started recognising the unfolding of a sense of duty in their children who are left in our care. I wish the parents would participate a little more actively in the school, where their children are trying to grow into their full stature.
I would like to see a little more encouragement in the Arts for our children who learn to appreciate beauty in whatever form they see, so that they grow to be fine sensitive human beings. I do not know how you will accomplish it, but I have full faith that you will.

ORGANISATION

Chinmaya Vidyalayas, all over the country are run under the support or protection of the Central Chinmaya Mission Trust (C.C.M.T.) Mumbai. The Vidyalaya is administered by the C.C.M.T. through a committee under the local Chinmaya Mission Centre. Swami Tejomayananda was the Supreme Head. In January, 2017 Guruji stepped down as Head of Chinmaya Mission Worldwide and Swami Swaroopananda has now been bestowed by Swami Tejomayananda the privilege to serve as the Head of Chinmaya Mission Worldwide. As in the case of all other Chinmaya Vidyalayas in the country, the educational and administrative aspects of our Vidyalaya are supervised and guided by the Central Chinmaya Mission Trust Education Cell [CCMTEC]

CVP

The Chinmaya Vision Programme (CVP) is what makes this school a 'school with a difference'. CVP was born to enshrine the philosophy of education developed by pujya gurudev Swami Chinmayananda in the heart of every growing child to bring out the best in them for overall personality development of the child. The child is the focal point of this programme. Apart from regular academic curriculum, there is an emphasis on the moral and cultural aspects. Teachers are regularly being sent for various training programmes for orientation and development.

Chinmaya Vision Programme has four aspects -
1. Integrated Development : It aims at the overall unfoldment and gentle blossoming of the child at the physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual levels of his or her personality. It aims at making the child an overall, emotionally balanced person. It implies manifestation of his or her inherent intellectual capacities and abilities to discover his or her inherent divinity and manifest it.
2. Indian Culture : Under this head the child is given a wide exposure to the various aspects of our culture, cultural awareness and appreciation of the versatality, artistic and scientific heritage of India, explanations of customs and traditions and cultural motivation through projects, hobbies etc.
3. Patriotism : It aims at creating dedicated and committed citizens who take real pride in serving the nation. This vital area of focus includes education in citizenship, civic consciousness, fostering pride in being Indian and vital national concerns such as unity in diversity.
4. Universal Outlook : The world needs to come back to a universal holistic view of life. Universal outlook refers to an appreciation, sensitivity and commitment to the universal issues. it helps the child to view himself or herself as a responsible citizen of the world, live in harmony with creation as well as become aware of being an intrinsic part of the macrocosm.
CVP is Value Education and value based education, inculcating values not only through stories and precepts, but learning values in and through all academic subjects and co-curricular activities of the Vidyalaya.
CVP augments the role of teachers, parents and the management in this enabling endeavour. It aims at character moulding and personality development of growing children, complementing academic excellence. It is not an activity but a vision inducing programme.
