Chinmaya Jyoti Yatra in India


Chinmaya Mission New York

To: All CMW Centers & Acharyas
 
Swami Chinmayananda came down from the Himalayas to share the knowledge of Vedanta with us. The Chinmaya Jyoti Yatra, led by Swami Mitrananda, in India was our attempt to take Him to the masses.
 
May 8, 2016 marks the birth centenary of Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda. He was a visionary, coming down from the Himalayas to spread and share with us the sweet nectar of our scriptures. As part of the year-long celebrations that started on May 15th, 2015, the Chinmaya Jyoti Yatra took Him to the people, more so His message.
 
The Chinmaya Sandesh Vahini (CSV) - the name coined by Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda, was an exhibition on wheels depicting the life and teachings of Pujya Gurudev. The Chinmaya Jyoti travelled with the CSV, and was lit as an "Akhanda Jyoti" by Pujya Guruji when it reached Chinmaya Vibhooti on December 31, 2015 after traveling for 238 days. 
 
The journey of a lifetime...completed successfully due to the prayers and good wishes of people all over the world. More than anything, it was HIS grace that carried the team forward.
 
Presenting a glimpse of the 8 month journey in 8 minutes...
238 days
covering 26 States
traveling 27,810 kms
 
 
Kindly share this with all your membership and you can also play it during Balvihar sessions in your center.

Happy New Year!

New Year Message from Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda
[Head of Chinmaya Mission Worldwide]

Happy New Year!

A New Year has begun. Does it bring any novelty for us? There should be something new in our lives besides the date on the calendar. Does it bring any external or internal change? External novelty refers to changes outside such as painting the house, buying a new car and so on. Internal novelty refers to a change in our viewpoint. If our vision of life does not improve, we keep living the way we always did.
Now  a days, everyone receives many text messages or email wishes for a happy New year. How do we make our new year happy? Here are a few formulae. 

Good health 
For a happy life, it is necessary to have good health. If our body is not healthy, we can neither sit for discourses nor watch a movie or hear music. We cannot enjoy anything. Therefore, we must ensure that we keep our body healthy.

Wealth 
The second requirement is that of wealth. For our worldly life, money is required. To have money does not mean one should be a millionaire. But there must be enough wealth in our homes. Even for serving others, we must have sufficient money.

Discrimination 
The third requirement is a discriminative intellect. Discrimination helps us to understand what is right and what is wrong. It also inspires us to hold on to the right.

Goodness of heart 
The fourth is goodness of heart - goodness, purity of emotion and feeling, truthfulness of the heart. All parents want their children to be educated, intelligent and smart. But the main desire is to have a ‘good’ child.
Thus if all the four are present, then there is happiness all around. But how does one gain them?

A Total Vision 
In the Bhagwad-gita, Sri Krishna symbolizes a holistic vision of life. Arjuna represents ‘a person ready to put efforts in accordance with that vision or knowledge.’ Thus, where there is both right vision and right action, there is success. As a result of the knowledge imparted by the Lord, Arjuna who was in deep sorrow, came out of it, took up arms and became victorious.
Clearly, we should gain the knowledge contained in the Gita and the Upanishads. This knowledge enables us to see the oneness in all beings. It creates true love in our mind and because of that love we take an interest in performing our duties. Love and knowledge leads to bliss and peace. Sorrow and delusion are removed by Self-knowledge.

May we attain all these things in this birth. May we all attain infinite bliss.
May every year be a Very Happy New Year !
- Swami Tejomayananda
