My Story

CHINMAYA VANA – CENTRE OF LEARNING

Swami Swaroopananda, the global head of Chinmaya Mission, recently inaugurated the site of the first Chinmaya Centre of Learning in East Africa — Chinmaya Vana in Nairobi, Kenya. This land that has just been purchased, is set to house a centre that will become a hub of spiritual education and community service, marking a historic milestone for Chinmaya Mission in the region.
During his visit, Swamiji addressed the dedicated volunteers, uplifting their spirits and showering his heartfelt blessings on them for this significant achievement. He acknowledged the efforts and contributions of every individual — be it financial support or selfless service — emphasizing that this was only the beginning of a promising journey.

As part of the occasion, Swami Swaroopananda and Brahmachari Darshan Chaitanya planted a sapling at the site. Highlighting the Mission’s commitment to preserving nature symbolizing the sacred bond between spiritual progress and care for the environment.
While the center is yet to be built and requires immense support from well wishers from Kenya, its diaspora & global devotees, Swamiji’s visit infused everyone present with a strong sense of purpose, dedication and devotion. Swamiji reminded all of Gurudev’s magnificence and greatness and how Gurudev was not just one man but an institution himself! Therefore, he evoked all the minds to ‘Think Big’ as we ‘Think Chinmaya’

The new Chinmaya Vana holds immense potential to grow into a sanctuary of knowledge and service, creating a lasting impact for generations to come!
