Yoga and meditation in Central Park

Chinmaya Mission New York


Hari Om!
We would like to invite you to participate in a Yogathon and Meditation fundraiser “Stretch to  Reach”organized by the Chinmaya Organization for Rural Development (CORD) in Central Park, New York. This will be a great event where 200 people will come together and do Yoga and Meditation together. The meditation will be led by Acharya Arunji of Chinmaya Mission

The 2014 Fundraiser is dedicated towards war widows of Sri Lanka. 
CORD Sri Lanka has been working relentlessly to help war victims in the North since 2010.  Many of these affected include war widows with 3 or more children who have minimal income and live in unfathomable conditions.  CORD Sri Lanka strives to empower these women so that they become independent, self- sustaining and can provide for their families.

Please click here to donate: If you are unable to attend the event please do stop by our site and give a small donation to show your support to help the war victims: http://cordnewyork.org/cord/donate-page/
Every Step Matters, Every Dollar Counts, Every Person Makes a Difference!

Guru Poornima Greetings

Chinmaya Mission New York


Dear Chinmaya Mission New York Family,

Pranaam and Hari Om!

On behalf of the board members of CMNY would like to extend hearty Guru Poornima greetings to all!

On a day so special such as this, we must take the time to reflect on the underlying significance of such a day dedicated to all teachers in our life. Gurus come in various forms such as Mother, Father, school teachers and Spiritual guides.  As a matter of fact, any person who removes ignorance and bestow wisdom in our minds is worthy of praise not only today but everyday!

The most important thing to be done on this day is not only remembrance of our Guru, but FULL service to the Guru! Poorna means complete or full. Our dedication to the Guru, correct actions based on the Guru's expectations, following the examples of the Guru and following the Gurus instructions is the highest of tributes and is the highest service to our Gurus.

In conclusion,  I once again wish all of you a wonderful day full of rememberance and service directed towards your Gurus in hopes that we better our lives and lives around us always! May the blessings of Lord Shiva,  Param Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayanandaji and Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayanandaji be with all of us on this great day.

Jai Gurudev!

With Prem and Om,
Br Arun Gossai
