Fall is around the corner with cooler nights, windier days, and shorter daylight hours. It is a season of change from warm summers to cold winters. During this time our body too is changing as it tries hard to adjust to the changing atmosphere. That is why, according to Ayurveda, Fall is a time when our bodies become vulnerable with weakened immunity, making us more susceptible to disease and discomfort.

The good news is that with the right knowledge and simple practices, we can strengthen our body-mind complex by boosting our immune system in a holistic way. That means food, Mind, lifestyle, therapeutic breath yoga, and even music have a profound impact on our health.

The HEALTHY BODY, HEALTHY MIND day retreat is now open for registration where we will learn tools and techniques on how to build our immune system with five experts in their fields.

Registration: $60 per person. Includes vegetarian lunch and refreshments. If you have any specific dietary requirements, please note that in the registration process.
Seats are very limited. First come, first served.

Puja Gurudev, Swami Chinmayananda, was an enlightened master and a visionary. As part of His vision, Gurudev saw the need for a higher learning institution that integrated Indian knowledge systems with modern technology and educational approaches. In 2016, Chinmaya Vishwa Vidyapeeth (CVV) – the Chinmaya University, the crown jewel of Chinmaya Mission, was born. CVV is working to create values, share the vision of the Rsis, sculpt new leaders with knowledge of Indian heritage to selflessly serve society. This is the need of the hour. To support CVV, we will be joining the Mission’s global crowdfunding campaign. The Mission family will serve as Chinmaya Ambassadors and reach out to friends, colleagues, family members to help build awareness and raise funds for CVV. To learn more about the initiative, please see Pujya Swamiji, Swami Swaroopanandaji’s video.

We can, we must bring Gurudev’s vision to reality. Further details to follow.

To cultivate love for the infinite is the ultimate dharma for all beings. For countless generations, Indian saints have used music as a means to free the heart to love without limit and to express the ecstasy and sweet agony of that supreme, divine love. G2M is a global, online, devotional singing competition meant to promote Indian music and spark this divine love in the hearts of all generations.

Registrations close: 21 August 2021
