Chinmaya Mission’s Contribution to Youth Empowerment
As an educational, spiritual, and cultural organization, Chinmaya Mission’s unique approach blends spiritual growth, cultural heritage, and social progress. Since its inception in 1951, Chinmaya Mission has been actively involved in educational and social initiatives worldwide.
In 1951, Pujya Swami Chinmayanandaji, after ten years of intense tapasya at Gangotri, under the guidance of Swami Tapovanji Maharaj, stepped down to the plains of Bharat to spread Vedantic knowledge to the masses. His vision continues to guide Chinmaya Mission’s efforts in empowering youth.
Chinmaya Mission currently manages:
99 senior secondary schools
4 colleges
Chinmaya University, established to accelerate India’s development in alignment with ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’, the vision of our Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modiji.
Celebrating Sikkim’s 50th Statehood Anniversary
The 50th anniversary of Sikkim’s Statehood presents a remarkable opportunity for Chinmaya Mission Sikkim to actively participate in this historic milestone. This aligns seamlessly with the state’s official theme:
“Sunaulo, Samriddha, and Samarth Sikkim” (Golden, Prosperous, and Capable Sikkim).
About Swamini Vimalanandaji
A Short Introduction to Swamini Vimalananda ji.
Swamini Vimalananda is a senior disciple of Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda.
After acquiring an Honours degree in
Architecture, her travels made her reflect on life and move from designing of the world of outer space to the seeking of the sacred inner space. The Chinmaya Mission Vedanta Course deepened her spiritual knowledge.
Her passion for education found fulfilment in concretising her Guru’s vision into the Chinmaya Vision Programme (CVP) which now largely reflects in the National Education Policy (NEP) recently introduced in India by the Central Government (July 2020). Her multifarious contribution in the field of education as she headed the Chinmaya Mission Educational Cell for 25 years touched the lives of millions.
A dynamic leader, a serious seeker, a spiritual practitioner, a prodigious learner, a visionary educator, a nature lover, a prolific writer and a popular speaker, she travels around the world guiding seekers of all age groups. Her simple style of talking has captivated the intellectual and faithful alike. Her sense of aesthetics and depth of knowledge reflects in all her activities, including her writing.
She has authored books on a variety of subjects –Vedantic commentaries, Indian Culture series, answering youth queries, child-centred activities and Education theories. Her books are very popular as are her YouTube talks.
Through this initiative, Chinmaya Mission Sikkim remains committed to guiding and empowering the youth of Sikkim as they step into the future with confidence and clarity.
