TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR FAMILIES

I have been part of Chinmaya for the past 5 yrs and the whole experience has been very positive. My son has been in Sishuvihar and now in balavihar. He enjoys and loves the stories and at the same time is picking up good moral values. Chinmaya mission is part of family.

Hari Om

Shruti
Parent

We love our balavihar classes on Sunday’s with Chinmaya mission because we listen to many interesting stories about gods and goddesses, sing and dance and make good friends.

Anya and Arhaan
Children

In class, I create new cultural artworks and play fun games which are related to my beliefs. As I was getting more often to Chinmaya Mission, I looked deeply and found the importance to be yourself, share your wisdom and the main thing of all is keep smiling.

Anirudh
Child

Coming to satsang on a Sunday evening is the best thing I could have ever done for myself. I love the knowledge I  have gained, the supportive environment and privilege of seva I get. I have been able apply a lot of my learnings and I am so glad I get to keep learning and building my devotion

Shrishti
Youth

In today’s world of distractions, CHYK class has been my anchor. I’ll forever be grateful for all the learnings, values and people I’ve met through CHYK as this has all been instrumental in inspiring the direction of my life.
