The Heart of Chinmayaranyam
Established by Pujya Shri Mataji Sarada Priyananda, the Ashramam is the spiritual nucleus of Chinmayaranyam, where devotees and seekers gather for daily worship, scriptural study, and selfless service. Rooted in the Vedantic tradition, every activity here is an offering to the Divine.
The Ashram offers programs for all ages — Bala Vihar for children (5–18 yrs), Chinmaya Yuva Kendra (CHYK) for youth (18–30 yrs), daily poojas, bhajans, Jnana Yagnas, and community seva.
